Atheistium made me aware of this rather excellent little test cartoon and I found it worthy enough to post on our highly prestigious Games of the Week column, the weekly post that literallyeveryoneis clamoring to be featured on. By that of course I mean nobody is clamoring to even so much asreadit, let alone be on it.
If the video looks weird, bear with us. We’re tinkering around with dynamically altering video sizes to coincide with our different page layouts, and until Niero actually sees this post, the video will probably look small when you nagivate off the front page itself. Who cares though? It’s Sunday, so Margaret Thatcher isn’t reading.
Also games. Hit the jump to read about those.
Hamza:Puzzle Quest: Galactrix, even though it keeps crashing on me.
Dale:I’ve been hammerin’ throughHammerin’ Hero, am close to beatingTokyo Beat Down, and have screamed out some mean-spirited comments at the creators ofDr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine. Also, boobs inSuper Robot Taisen OGsomething-or-other.
Chad:This may have been the greatest week of gaming in my life. takes a deep breathStreet Fighter IV,Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen,Left 4 Dead,Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection,Mother 3, andResident Evil 5. That’s right: through some, er,interestingcircumstances (read: not involving a shotgun and a ski mask) I am currently playingResident Evil 5. It was the most unexpected surprise of the year! I am not that far into the story yet, but, so far, I am loving it. It’s like a shinyResident Evil 4, which is definitely a good thing.
Nick:Been making my way throughKillzone 2, and loving it even though it makes me feel like kind of like Shakira with a machine gun. Just about to finish offResident Evil 5for next week’s review, as well asHenry Hatsworth and the Puzzling Adventurewhich is not, as Henry would say, “poppycock.” Other than that, nothing else I can talk about. I’m so secretive.
DMV:Only got to play through a tad ofStreet Fighter IV, but I realize just how annoying fighting Seth is. Apart from that, though, I’m having tons of fun with the game, and will likely pick it up for myself soon. I’ve been playingShadow of the Colossusas well, so that I can finally have it under my belt.
Topher:Participated in some truly epic bouts ofStreet Fighter IVwith the Dtoid New York crew last weekend, and Dtoid userCalpishas jumped onto the rankedSuper Puzzle Fighterscene to bring me some excellent challenge and intense matches. Good week for teh fightans and competizzione.
Then last night in a random game ofNoby Noby Boy, I came upon a map with two fully-functioning tornadoes on it. TORNADOES, guys. Easily worth my five bucks just to experience that madness.
Jim:Those on my PS3 friends list (Jim_Sterling) will know I’ve been playingKillzone 2for a few hours nearly every day. Absolutely loving the multiplayer, especially now I’m rocking the Saboteur class. In between I’ve been finishing upEat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazardfor review, as wellSonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collectionand I recently started playingUnreal Tournament III, which is alright. Also been playing through my review copy ofBlue Dragon Plus, but it’s proving to be slow going with so much console fun.
Colette:Still working throughStar Ocean: The Last Hopefor review (damn that game is long), sneaking in a little bit ofPersona 4when I get the chance, and believe it or not, I found myself playingGalactrixtoday in hopes that somehow it will still click with me. My desperation is kind of pathetic. Also, after a nostalgic favorite PC games talk with R3y, I booted upRivenand remembered it really is just a big picturebook you click your way through.
