Holy fuck ... is this game good. I can't believe I waited so long to finally pick it up and play it. If you want a better understanding of Overkill, well, here you go:
(oh-ver-kil)
n.
1. Destructive nuclear capacity exceeding the amount needed to destroy an enemy.
2. Excessive killing.
3. An excess of what is necessary or appropriate for a particular end
Anyway, in this motherfucking game you shoot zombies. Oh wait, it's key to never use the Z word. I'll call them un-dead from now on. Anyway, you shoot those bastards light-gun style. A headshot makes them explode. Arms makes them 50% dead. Legs slows them down, but doesn't kill them. Stomach's good depending on how much of a fatass the un-dead is. Nuts is ineffective.
You play as Agent G. If you're wondering what that motherfucking G stands for, well ... it's top secret. Sorry. You're joined by Isaac Washington. Mess with him, and he'll rip your motherfucking balls off. You'll also come across Varla Guns, a gun-totting hottie who's out for ... Read More! |

Feel free to also discuss games that have made a big impact on you throughout your game-playing history (the original topic of this thread). You know, the games that defined you and really stayed with you. Has this gen produced any titles that totally blew you away? That you will always fondly remember your experiences with?
I feel like, for all the piles and piles of solid, capable games that we've been getting, there have been far fewer that really, really connect with me. It's why I prefer the GBA library to the DSeseses. And why this generation has kind of underwhelmed me. The main exception that I can think of is Monster Hunter Tri. Even that might be kind of cheating, since the series began last gen, but, nevertheless, that is one of the only games that kept calling me back, impelling me to keep playing, similar to Animal Crossing and Wario Ware last gen, Metroid and Mario and Bionic Commando (and so many more) in the NES era, Super Mario Kart in the SNES era, Perfect Dark and ...

I don't want to admit it, either. But, fiscally speaking, has Reggie been making the right decision in passing up all of those cool-looking Japan-published Nintendo games? The responsible decision? I mean, Sin & Punishment 2 bombed, right? Did ANY of us think it would succeed? Would Captain Rainbow? Would Zangeki No Reginleiv or The Last Window or Jam With the Band or Tingle? Or even Soma Bringer or Mother 3 or a Nintendo-published Tales of Graces/Hearts? Will FlingSmash sell, even at a discounted price? NoE has been localizing a lot more games than NoA, and it seems to have resulted in an unending series of flops.
Or is that just perception? What examples can we think of? I know Jam With the Band flopped hard in Europe. Sin & Punishment 2 seems to have flopped here, and there were a LOT of copies of Rhythm Tengoku and Style Savvy on the shelf at Best Buy. Starfy actually did pretty well in the US, but the seems like an obvious gimme - a Nintendo-published platformer. The first Endless ... Read More! |

Mine mostly fall into the 'obscure' category. Games like Geist, DK Barrel Blast, Mole Mania, Teleroboxer, Mario Clash, stuff like Odama and Chibi Robo and Golden Sun that I just haven't opened yet, lots of import games. But there are also a bunch of old-school games that I missed out on, like Gyromite, Stunt Race FX, Earthbound, all the Super Mario Land games, and most Kirby games. Oh, and some of the more realistic sports stuff.
I finally did get Wrecking Crew on the VC. Eeeeehhh.
But the games I'm most curious about are Zangeki No Reginleiv, Gyromite, Super Mario Land 1 & 2, and Stunt Race FX. (It's Miyamoto, right?) ... Read More! |

So I had Scott Pilgrim vs The World pre-ordered through Ubisoft and of course got the redeem code by email. Since the store was updating today, I was redeeming it online through my computer cause my PS3 wasn't on at the time, in case it would go through a bit early. That would be a nice surprise, right? Well I did get a surprise cause when the store DID update and everyone else was downloading the game, I kept getting an error code. I just thought it was my code being defect or whatever but just for fun, I look it up online. What do I find out? PSN locked me out from redeeming codes for 24 hours cause of attempting to use too many invalid codes  What a load of crap that I have to wait an extra 24 hours for a game I already paid for before it was even out. ...

So I had an Amazon promotional credit that was about to expire, and I had been genuinely curious about LEGO Rock Band on DS even though I already owned it on Wii. I'm a huge fan of the rhythm/music genre, so I had to give this a try.
If you've ever played a Rock Band game, the mechanics are basically the same. You have your note highway, and gems...err, LEGO blocks trickle down the highway as a song progresses. When they cross the bar at the bottom of the highway, press the button that corresponds with the color block that's crossing the line (left on the d-pad for red, up on the d-pad for yellow, X for green and A for blue). If you see a series of white notes, hit them all successfully to build up your Overdrive meter. When you have enough of that stored up, press down on the d-pad, the B button or scream into the mic to go into Overdrive mode, where your score is doubled.
Well, all that's the same, but there are a few new mechanics thrown into the mix. In LEGO Rock Band, you ... Read More! |
