Strike Force Bowling (PS2) Review

For a video game connoisseur such as myself, I find it strange when I've never heard of a game. My girlfriend loved the bowling mini-game in both Wii Sports games, and she was thrilled to know that there was a bowling game for PS2. She rented it off my Blockbuster account, so it didn't really cost me anything in a sense. Except my time, which I want back. The game features basic bare-bones modes

A Look Into Video Games: Captain Rainbow

Captain Rainbow was a 2008 video game made exclusively for the Wii and released only in Japan. It was also a game published by Nintendo themselves. Captain Rainbow was exactly bragged about being the best game ever but it certainly had it's own charm and style. It also featured washed up and deformed versions of classic Nintendo characters like Birdo and Little Mac. 

New Wii Bundle Ditches Gamecube Support

Coming to America later this month is a newly designed Wii. It's not really any different except it has no Gamecube controller slots and won't play your Gamecube games. Oh and they also give you New Super Mario Bros Wii, and a Super Mario Bros Galaxy Music CD as an "apology" of sorts. I guess it's not a big deal, but it now means that all 3 console makers have given half-hearted attempts of

A Look Into Video Games: Waluigi

Waluigi first appeared to the Mario crew in Mario Tennis for N64.  His name in Japanese pretty much means Bad Luigi. The reason he was created was because Wario needed a doubles partner for the Tennis game. He has appeared alongside his assumed brother ever since. Even in major games like Mario Kart. Oddly enough he's never been in the WarioWare series. He's also been a trophy in Super Smash Bros

World of Goo Coming to Android Later This Year

The developers say it will arrive "soon", but expect the WiiWare classic to arrive on all Android-based platforms later this year.

Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti (Famicom/NES) Review

Now most games that came out on the Japanese Famicom also arrived on it's American counterpart the NES. It was usually just Japanese TV shows and movie games that stayed in the land of the rising sun. However a few notable games didn't go overseas for no apparent reason. Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti is one of them. Despite being more cartoony and "kiddy", it's actually one of the best games in

Things I Hate: Pikmin (Gamecube Original)

As a Gamecube fan who started his support for the device before the system came out, I remember Pikmin quite well. It was one of the early launch games for the system, but it was certainly not for everyone. It was Nintendo's first real take at Real-Time-Strategy games, but with a simpler Nintendo twist.  You controlled a little space man named Captain Olimar and you could control this little

Things I Like: Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth

When I heard they were making a Castlevania directly for the WiiWare service I was a little skeptical. Most games that come directly on those services are junk if they're not older games. Surprisingly The Adventure ReBirth is a faithful and good edition to the classic Castlevania games. Even though I'm more of a Metroidvania fan (Castlevania games that play like Super Metroid), I had a really

My Top 10 Worst No More Heroes Characters #1: Nathan Copeland

I hear this guy was suppose to be the 10th ranked fighter in the first game, but got cut in favor of Death Metal. Honestly I think they made a wise choice. Why bring him back? I have no clue. He's a lame rapper who throws women at you....yeah.

My Top 10 Worst No More Heroes Characters #2: Ryan Yamazaki

He's the creepy gym leader of the 2nd game. Since Thunder Ryu died, Travis needed a replacement gym to work out at. I liked the little 2D mini-games for awhile, but there was one workout that was brutal. 

My Top 10 Worst No More Heroes Characters #3: Jasper Batt Jr.

He appears as the first rank fighter in the 2nd game, but c'mon he was a dork. His form was a stupid flying car, his 2nd was a super-hulk version of himself, and the 3rd was like a Macy's Thanksgiving Day balloon. 

My Top 10 Worst No More Heroes Characters #4: Charlie McDonald

He appears as some lame football player jock in the 2nd game. Though I admit, that zoid fight was cool. 

My Top 10 Worst No More Heroes Characters #5: Dark Star

He appears as the first rank fighter in the first game, and looks like Darth Vader with bad fashion sense. He also tries to pull the "I am your father" stuff. I'm glad Jeanne killed him. 

My Top 10 Worst No More Heroes Characters #6: Helter Skelter

Most people don't even remember Helter Skelter. He was actually only in the game's trailer before it was released. Sure it was added as a bonus in the game, but you didn't watch it. It was also when the game had different voice actors and a bit of a different art style. It must suck to die and be forgotten. 

My Top 10 Worst No More Heroes Characters #7: Letz Shake

Ranked right in the middle of the first game, you never get to fight him. Instead he's finished off in the cut-scene by Henry Cooldown. Then you find out that the random dude was just some random dude. The actual big brain was Letz Shake. Oh and he goes by Dr. Letz Shake. His fight in the 2nd game was alright. 

My Top 10 Worst No More Heroes Characters #8: Speed Buster

I didn't like her too much. She was an old granny with a laser sniper rifle. She kills the awesome Thunder Ryu, and the battle against Travis is nothing but easy evasions until you reach her. 

My Top 10 Worst No More Heroes Characters #9: Ermen Palmer

He was just some dude that tried to kill Travis at the end of the first game. Instead Henry Cooldown slices him in half before he gets the chance. He's actually an ode to some character from the GameCube game Killer 7.
