Late Night Consoling

Is it just me or is the shacknews staff way too lazy about putting up something as simple as a first post or evening reading...

Sadness is now one more reason I'm waiting to get a Revolution.

I really hope they reorganize the marketplace so demos and trailers are separated.

It occurs to me that the Revolution could horribly backfire on Nintendo. Not because it isn't indeed revolutionary or whatever, but because right now when senators or other people wanting a media spotlight say that video games are murder trainers, anyone with a brain cell can look at a kid sitting on a couch pushing some buttons and see there's no real physical correlation.

But with the Revolution, if you have to hold the controller in front of you at an angle and draw it back while "slitting the throats of persocutors", or if in Red Steel you have to wield the controller like a sword and block attacks and chop people in the face with it, or actually aim with the thing like a gun and pull the trigger button on the bottom, it's going to be a lot easier for people to show a kid sitting on a couch slitting throats and say 'this is training kids to kill.'

And in other news, typing all that has made me really hot for the Revolution all of a sudden.

I loves me some Jack Black and all, but there's no way I want his nipples on my 360 dashboard.

sony contest sounds neat. It's gunna be like writing an eval only instead of writing "why i deserve to be promoted" it'll be "why I deserve them games!"

From the Roger Avary interview:

FiringSquad: We have seen nearly every other video game based film get critically panned. What steps did you and the director take to make sure that didn't happen with Silent Hill?

Roger Avary: Hookers and blow...just like Uwe Boll.

A true gamer here folks lol

super punch-out ruled. i remember being able to beat each boxer in 10-15 seconds when i was in my prime.

awesome if the ps2 drops in price. I *almost* pulled the trigger today on:

slim ps2
god of war
shadow of the colossus
ico

total was like $220~

When it comes to advertising in FNR3, I have to admit its terrible. Everlast advertising I can get past, but Burger King is too much. Fool me with a brand that has something to do with the sport (like Everlast) and I can go along with it. But burger king? What does that have to do with boxing.

WTF Goldeneye is too big for XBL Arcade? Bullshiiiiiiiiit. Almost all the Xbox Live Arcade games clock in around 40 megabytes. There isn't a single N64 game that even came close.

Why is it that LatinoReview always gets leaked scripts first? You would think it would be a website that is.. more.. uhh geekish like say, AICN, but LatinoReview always gets the cool ones. They had The Bourne Ultimatum a while back (said it was meh) and that film doesn't come out till next year, they had the Casino Royale one not long ago (said it was good).

Just odd.

Sadness sound mightly awesome. Someone mentioned that since it will in black and white, the REV might be able to push the graphics higher since no color renderring will be used in the game. 4th reason to get a REV in my list now.

Thet Sony contest sounds cool also. I already have someone in mind to write about, but he's a chef currently stationed in Korea, so I'll have to get creative in writing the essay.

Thet PS2 price-cut sounds right. I was meaning to get a second PS2 for my room and hook it up to both my PV monitor and sound system.

Whoa, slitting the throats of persecutors.

"Avary is a huge Silent Hill"?

Picked up Rebelstar Command something something(GBA) for a flight earlier this week.

Pretty cool, basically X-Com for the GBA.

I was surprised at the difficulty though. Anyone play this?
