Oh look, it's another Suda51 game! Released last week, Lollipop Chainsaw has been on my radar for a while. As always, Suda's trademark humor and art style are present from the very beginning. But how does it hold up? Actually, pretty well.
Digimon sprang up right alongside the Pokemon revolution, and never really had the thunder that Pokemon did. That said, BanDai made several solid titles around the Digimon franchise. Digimon World, one of the first, is one of them.
Bayonetta was on my radar screen for a while, though I had never taken the time to pick it up and play it. Boy, was that a bad idea! This little gem from Platinum Games deserves a look, if you haven't already.
Non-Player Characters, or NPCs, are a staple of most single player games. They can be hapless civilians, wizened teachers, or merchants willing to keep you stocked in exchange for a few coin. As always, however, there will be at least a few characters that make you scratch your head and wonder what is wrong with them. Here's my picks for:
Top 5 Creepiest NPCs
5. Christopher (Shadows of the Damned)
Christopher is not so much creepy as he is misunderstood. It's easy to brush him off as another demon at first glance, but he's got his charms. I still can't forget that cut scene when you first meet him. Of all the faces he could have made, why did he have to choose this one?
4. The Merchant (Resident Evil 4)
"Geetings, Strange-ah!" Just the way that he greets you is more than slightly unsettling. When you factor in the firepower he's packing at some of his shops, you really have to worry that this guy isn't going to go on a murderous spree or fund people who will. I dunno about this one, he just seems like a loose trigger.
3. Plasma Man (Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon)
PU-LA-ZU-MAAA! He sure doesn't wear much. I wonder if that's how he attained enlightenment? Those awful, heavy clothes must really weigh down your brain. If we all go nude, maybe we'll be as wise as him! (Seriously guys, DON'T DO THIS!!!)
2. Happy Mask Salesman (Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask)
Yeah...this is one guy you don't want to make angry. One minute, he's all smiles. The next, he's about ready to slit your throat. He really needs to relax. Perhaps a cruise to Koholint island would give him the stress relief he needs...
1. Great Fairy (Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time)
I'm not even going to say anything about this one. Just watch the video...
Are you creeped out yet? Good! I'll see you again in two weeks.
As long as Japan keeps producing video games and anime, there will be anime tie-ins to video games and vice versa. Like the movie to video game counterparts in the states, there's a lot of crap and a lot of good titles. Here's my...
I'm starting up something new now: I liked writing that 5 Wii Games article, and there's enough content I can do to warrant adding an extra article each week. So, this one will be every other Thursday, for starters. If I can keep it up, it will become a weekly column here. So anyways, to start this blog off, here's:
Top 5Video Game Cinematics that Tell you Nothing About the Game you're Playing
Now, this is a game that I find is impossible to classify. It's bizarre, it leaves you questioning your sanity, and it's a riot to play. Beating up the seven deadly sins has never been this politically incorrect...or this fun!
