Metal Gear Rising

I’m keeping this one really short and sweet.  Do you like robots?  What about ninjas?  What about ninja robots?  What if they were fighting other robots?  Some of them also ninjas?

Then you better get Metal Gear Rising.  Everything from here on is going to be a bit spoilery and gushy.

Katamari Damacy

We didn’t stay away from games for long, I know, but here’s a game that’s very near and dear to my heart.  Katamari Damacy.  You know what it’s about?  You’re the Prince of the Universe, tasked with rolling up everything you can find into a giant ball and then throwing it into space to make stars out of it.  The reason?  Your dad got drunk one night and broke all the stars.  Or in the sequel, because people liked the first game so much.

Yes, the story to the sequel is that people liked the first game so they made another.  Genius.

Far Cry 2 aka Malaria and Western Interventionism in Africa

I promise, next week we’ll talk about something that isn’t a game.

I mean, I will talk about a game, but there will be something else too.

This week though, we’re talking about Far Cry 2.  A game about malaria, ethnic wars in Africa, and westerners coming in and fueling the whole thing.  I know, another pile of joy.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is Gorgeous

I promise I’m not going to just talk about games.  Really.

But this one I feel pretty strongly about.  What in particular?

The art.

It’s even prettier in motion

 

 

Intrigued yet?

B is For Bayonetta

B is for Bayonetta.  Continuing on our quest through the alphabet, and our search for things that don’t really fit in with the norm, is the game Bayonetta.  Which is about a witch who uses magical powers to slow time and shoot/kick increasingly weird looking angel monsters.  Also her hair serves as a catsuit and giant murder tools.  I know how to pick em.

Asura’s Wrath

Let’s start things off with A.  For Asura.  And Wrath.

Yeeeeeaaaahhhhh.
