Game Run Down for the Month!

The month in review.

What did we learn this month?
I am as surprised as you, Ninja Gaiden 2 is game of the month, wow!




Ninja Gaiden 2 - Worth it new, game of the month.
Battlefield: Bad Company - If you like a new type of story with your Military FPS, buy this new. CoD4 with destructible environments, and vehicles.
The Incredible Hulk - Worth it new, however nothing much new since Ultimate Destruction.
Hellboy: Science of Evil - Worth it used if you are a fan, otherwise you aren't missing much. Beat and repeat.

Indiana Jones Lego DS - Worth it new, big fun, pocket sized.
Plushees DS - Not even as a goof.

Inspired by the bank robbery mission in GTA 4

The best scenes in Heat.





Oh boy, Hellboy.



The Hellboy: The Science of Evil is not awesome.

However that doesn't mean it should not be considered if you are a fan. I have no problem with that kind of thinking.

Beat and repeat, that is your game play, enjoy.

The graphics are only ok. That doesn't really cut the mustard anymore. The God of War games are on PS2 and have more depth in the level design. Some reason there is an excessive amount of glowing green accents on the boards, they confuse me, so much so that I felt the need to make a note of it. I have a certain standard when looking critically at a game, and it is water effects. If you are going to make a game where the character can run through a puddle or splash around in water, you need to make the water look good. If you are not going to do water right, don't do it at all.

This game could have been made for the previous generation console. For some reason Hellboy seems to do that. Hellboy: Asylum Seeker was released for PS1 in 2003. Why would you allow that to happen?

The comics are great, the story and idea it self are great, but for some reason once it tries to venture into other forms of media all momentum is lost.

This game is not by any means a total loss, but in a time of crazy ninja game part 2, and wiggle, poke and shake your ass games, it would be nice if this game filled the void it is supposed to a little better. Granted there are unlockable characters, of which I have yet to unlock, and there is a co-op multilayer ability which is always a plus. I will though continue to play this game, but i know what is in store.

Buy this game, used, and well can play together online.

Why!

Why do we do this?

Rusty crap! Bad robot! Nothing to do with Lost!

Worst robots in media

D.A.R.Y.L (Data Anaylizing Robot Youth Lifeform)

I read the book when I was a kid and I saw the movie. The kid from Never Ending Story played pole position really well, and for some reason flew an SR-71 Blackbird into a lake.



Johnny 5

Golly gee! Johnny 5 is alive! Now lets all sing that horrible song, and wear a bandanna.



Astro Boy

He looks a kid. How many kids do you know that are cool?



V.I.C.I (Voice Input Child Identicant)

Again, kid bots are not cool. Also I would confuse this show with Out of This World, I don't like it when television confuses me.

Great robots! All that is good and mechanical!

Yes, robots! Here is a short list of what I think about robots.

Best good guy robots in media

V.I.N.CENT (Vital Information Necessary, CENTralized)
Roddy McDowall makes many things awesome.



Scud
Disposable assassin. Big yellow rules hard. Read it if you haven't.



Pinocchio

Only cool kid bot. Somehow was able to fight his way out of a whale. If you think about it, it's almost a prequel to The Blade Runner.



Twiki

If there was a best robot of lame robots, it would have to be Twiki. Mel Blanc did the voice and I remember having macaroni shaped like him as a child, I loved that penis head shaped little thing.




Best bad guy robot in media.

Maximillian

Scariest robot ever.
