I'm sorry that you're wrong. You didn't enjoy it, you have only convinced yourself that you did after the fact. Come into the light, Mechanical!

The rabid hatred for Bioshock ITT makes me love this board again <3

I was initially confused by DAIS's post too. That's a testament to how spot-on the criticism is.

Dracko's word "middlebrow" is exactly the right term for Bioshock. It's like that film Crash: tedious, aesthetically bankrupt and with a laughably blunt political message that fooled the academy into giving it an Oscar.

[Dracko]

Also, now when I talk about the superb Ballard book and the Cronenberg film it lead to, I have to qualify I'm not talking about "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist". :(

don't get me wrong, I still have a soft spot for the original bioshock. but I enjoy like it's a b-movie. and it does have really nice atmosphere and convincing level design.

I mean, shame about everything else and all that.

I love the first Bioshock, and am currently playing through it again to get the last few achievements, because it's a good excuse to play through it again.

Capcom used to publish the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games and some of Midway's output like Blitz, Stranglehold and Psi-Ops too.

I always find it odd when Japanese games get localized in Europe but not the US, like Project Altered Beast (not that we were missing much).

Wasn't at least one of the Earth Defense Force PS2 games released over in the Frog Countries, along with the EDF hex strategy spinoff?

Also: Ikusagami, and Konami's Oz, both of which looked really great. Ikusagami on the PS2 was what Ninety Nine Nights on the X360 promised.

[zombieman000]

Grasshopper's Michigan got a PAL region release but some stuff related to a Japanese movie star/pop idol cameo got cut.

The genre lines are blurring. RTS and RPGs and TPSs and FPSs... they're all coming together. Eventually we'll have normal genre tags like Action and Drama! Really!

Latest Famitsu news!

The PS3 and 360 versions of NieR (upcoming Square-Enix funded action game by Cavia) are apparently going to be different......somehow. 360 has a male protagonist and is called "NieR Gestalt", PS3 one has a female protagonist and is called "NieR Replicant".

The black guy with the absurd afro in Final Fantasy XIII has a young song with an absurd afro.

Japan getting a tweaked Tatsunoko vs Capcom, presumably based on the US version. Tekkaman Blade has been added as a character, online versus, balancing.

A company called Jelcom is making a DS RPG called "WiZmans World". As far as I know, Jelcom is not a real company but instead some Famitsu fever dream.

Next week's issue will have stuff on Dragon Quest VI DS.

Some selected meaningless scores:
DS SaGa 2 Goddess of Destiny 9778 (31/40)
DS idolm@ster (btw I cry when I masturbate) DS 7887 (30/40)
DS More! Let's live with Hamster. She's had a baby 6666 (24/40)
PSP Ys Seven 8888 (32/40)
Wii Forever Blue 2 9999 (36/40)
Wii House of the Dead Overkill 6666 (24/40)
PS3/360 Terminator Salvation 5775 (24/40)
PS3 Wet 7788 (30/40)
360 Velvet Assassin 7786 (28/40)




Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand....


The Japanese release of Silent Hill: Homecoming has been canceled.

Ouch.

[bloody heartland]

Did any of those poorly dumped toaplan sets with the broken sound ever get fixed?
