Game Spotlight: killer7

E3 2010 is on the way and we’ll be seeing lots of media regarding many new games on the way… which means it’s a good time to take a little look into the past at a game that very few people played but is very much appreciated by most of those who did.

I have previously mentioned killer7 in my entry for No More Heroes so it seemed only natural to talk more about the game since NMH has gained Suda51 a lot more fans than he used to have. Of course, as I said in that previous entry, killer7 is a different kind of game than killer7 and although it contains Suda51′s unique styles, it is in many ways alien to No More Heroes…

Do not buy Australian

According to our records, it’s been 6 months since I did a little bitching about Australia and all of the bullshit that’s going on with the country at the moment that most people don’t seem to be aware of in their daily lives… not that me bitching about it in the first place will turn any heads, but whatever…

In previous rants, I’ve discussed the lack of an R18+ rating for video games and also censorship in relation to the evil child porn filled internet… one look will turn you into a paedophile, so beware. I think out of the two, it’s probably better to play video games and become a mindless mass murderer than the creepy alternative. It’s almost as if the Australian government has become like a prison security force and is governing a nation of convicts… oh wait.

Of course, the whole issue of censorship is just one of the problems with Australia…

Game Spotlight: No More Heroes + No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle

Twilight Lynk has reached its second anniversary, so I thought I would write an entry about the very game and its unexpected sequel that represents the spirit of video games and gamers everywhere… though only a certain niche group would probably agree with that assessment.

I’ve been trying to decide how I should be going about the Game Spotlight for these two games. They’ve been created by a developer that has released an odd array of games, led by a man who is brilliant yet ignored by most, released on a console many gamers don’t really take seriously.

This isn’t a battle anymore; it’s a motherfucking war!

For some odd reason, I completely skipped out on the fact that Twilight Lynk hit its first anniversary a year back… but not this time.

Once a webmaster of an anime site; the bodies of anime babes littered my mind… Much has changed since then; anime no longer has any value for me and the true video gamer that I’ve always been has taken over once again. This was my chance to engage in a web site about something that I truly loved, something I could share with others… but everything I wrote about in my first entry on this site hasn’t gone according to plan. While this site has gotten some nice traffic coming in, it seems that the community interactions I talked about long ago aren’t as active and lively as I thought they would be. Here, there are few who post and many who lurk. And through this all, one truth is constant: I’ll still post blog entries even if people don’t comment on them. I won’t walk away from it, I’ll keep posting and say what I have to say… This is MY “Desperate Struggle”…

Hold it you video game loving bastards! Before we start our desperate struggling, you should drop a nice save…

/ end introduction with No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle references thrown in just for fun.
