Evening Reading

With Xav de Matos joining the staff, Shacknews now has the American, Canadian, and British perspectives on lock. I just wonder who the bigger Rush fan is? Gauntlet thrown, Mr. de Matos.

On the gaming side, I've now finished Red Dead Redemption, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, (arguably) Skate 3, and have gone back to Demon's Souls. Tower Knight be trippin', yo.

Oh, and on Skate 3, Hardcore Mode grinds should be fixed now with the latest patch. Go give it another try!

          No, I was playing this weekend. Hammer suit is the best.

            It may be rare, but the overall use of the Tanooki Suit wins out in my book. Then again, the suit is usually given out during the level which it will prove most useful, so...

              hussdelrio, will you tell me what the big deal with the tanuki suit is? I always got it, but never used any of its functionality over and above the basic tail-smacking and flying that the ears/tail give you.

                You can turn to stone and drop on motherfuckers like Maarten drops servers.

                  taronish is right. You press down and B (I think) and you turn into a stone statue that is pretty much impervious to damage.

                    Well sure, but I never really used that ability to much effect.

                    I guess I'll have to watch somebody else rock out with it.

              But with the hammer suit, you can kill everything! You can destroy the whomps, ghosts, all enemies basically, and you can kill Bowser in a few seconds.

        Go through world 6, beat 6-6, get the suit from the hut, and then die until you have to continue. you can pick up from 6-5 and repeat until you have all the suits you want or that fucking turtle in 6-6 drives you to unplug you system thereby undoing all your work.

      The boot was only for one level right? The boot was awesome, wonder why they didn't include in at least a couple more levels.
