House of the Dead: Overkill has the most swearing in any game EVER. It has 189 counts of the word “fuck”, which includes “motherfucker”, “fuck you”, and so forth. There’s some shit sprinkled in there too. And it’s fantastic fun.
Headstrong ultimately chose a theme inspired by exploitation films after watching the film Planet Terror, which inspired the art direction, plot and marketing.
The style and gameplay make it the most fun I’ve had on a Wii game in about 2 years. [Wikipedia]
The Doritos game [more info here] is the best XBLA game I’ve played today. It’s also the only XBLA game I’ve played today. But it is good.
You can play as either a T-Rex or a Doritos truck. The game is “finished” in about 10 minutes, netting you the full 200 achievement points in the process. Hell, the game even talks about how easy it is to get achievements, since it’s a free download designed only to market Doritos. Well, it works. It’s not every day you get to demolish a couple blocks worth of buildings as a bionic T-Rex. Kudos, Doritos.
I just realized that I never announced (on this site) that my book was done. It was done a few months ago, but here it is, in its Amazon linking glory: The iPhone Book.
Here, about Apple’s iPhone and subsequent slapping of customers in the face when the update came out that bricked unlocked phones. There’s some other “words” in the article, but Ctrl + F (or Command + F on a Mac) and search for me.
Whenever I’m talking to anyone about upcoming Xbox 360 games, and how there are a refugee boat-load of them, I always end up only listing a few and forgetting a bunch. Even googling for Xbox 360 release calendar turns up nothing. So here’s a list, for my own enjoyment and reference, of upcoming 360 games that I’m looking forward to buying/playing.
The Darkness 2/5 Beautiful Katamari 12/31 Assassin’s Creed 12/25 Gears of War (Windows) 12/13 Mass Effect 12/1 Rock Band 11/25 Call of Duty 4 11/11 Portal 11/2 Eternal Sonata 10/24 Kotaku 10/18 Blue Dragon 9/27 Halo 3 9/27 Stranglehold 9/12 Two Worlds 9/9 Bioshock 9/2
Alan Wake Army of Two Conan (Sucks) Devil May Cry 4 (Meh) GTA 4 Naruto Lost Odyssey PGR4 (Meh) Unreal Tournament III (Meh) Kane & Lynch (Meh)
Fable 2
Fallout 3
An Exploration. I used to have a homepage just like those back in the mid ’90s. I miss it. It felt like something I MADE, since all the HTML was coded by hand, straight into a text editor. Hell, I even made all the images myself. You can imagine how that turned out.
Oh yes, thwarted by Blockbuster again. Like Dr. Venture of whom the quote is taken, I’ve got an arch nemesis that despite (or perhaps because) of their bumbling, manages to take advantage of me at every turn.
I go to the local Blockbuster to rent a game. Not just any game, but BioShock–one of the “most wanted” list that I’ve posted before. Luckily, I find one on the shelf. But when I bring it up to the front desk, the lazy, mumbling clerk asks me if I called ahead. I said no (truthfully). He then goes and checks to see if there are any more. He says there aren’t.
After some questioning, he fesses up that there is one more, but it’s reserved for the guy who called ahead. That’s not standard Blockbuster procedure, but I didn’t want to be a dick and make a scene, since I wanted to come back to his Blockbuster again. So I leave.
When I get home, I two more Blockbusters to see if they have it in stock. One didn’t, but the second one said they had one. We call and ask them to hold it for us until we get there. Ten minutes later when we did get there, it turns out the only copy that they had was for buying, not for renting. Seriously? You’re Blockbuster, and you think someone’s calling you to see if you have any more copies in stock to BUY?! Gimme a break.
End result, no BioShock, but plenty of jackassery.
