It’s a picture of a tyrannosaurus rex, which is a dinosaur. I literally can’t think of anything else to talk about this week because I’ve got to do this in ten minutes and want to go back to playing videogames, rather than writing about them. Look at the T-Rex. He’s really happy. He’s thinking about meat.
As per usual, videogames happened to the Destructoid editors this week, and you can hit the jump to find out which exact videogames they were. The T-Rex did not play videogames this week. That is because he is a T-Rex, and whoever heard of a T-Rex playing videogames?
North:Sinful RPG-fest here: I’ve got my face in my DS this week, with lots of time going to the boobaliciousSuper Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontierand the just plain deliciousDevil Survivor. Speaking of devils, I’m also intoDevil Summoner 2, and I’m having a devil of a time withFinal Fantasy VIII, which I started replaying just recently. Also,Final Fantasy XIII‘s demo has made the rounds a few times.
Bennett:Still working onClass of HeroesandPlants vs Zombiesfor review, along withDiner Dashfor 360, which is much more challenging than I expected it to be. Finally got my hands onHammerin Hero, which is delightful, and started my replay ofFinal Fantasy VIIIinspired by all the beautiful music I saw played at the Distant Worlds concert. Snuck in a littleRock Band 2last night as well, which was fun to get back to.
Razak:It’s been allMadWorldall the time for me. I’m enjoying it for the most part, and love the old school arcade feel of collecting high scores. As a challenging game though it isn’t really doing it for me. I don’t think that was the point though. You get the feeling they were going more for a challenge to get really high scores in the levels over a challenge to beat the levels. In that case the game is win.
Sterling:Most of my week has been spent withDynasty Warriors Strikeforcewhich I am reviewing. It’s good, but it’s clearly designed for the kind of four-player PSP action that is NOT going to happen in America, and the game makes no allowances for single players. It’s very difficult and my hands have started to ache quite badly from playing the PSP so much.
Also been working on clearing up some games we’ve missed out on reviewing, starting withOutRun Online Arcade. Only trouble is, I suck at driving games and can’t win a single course. That’s going to be an interesting write up. Outside of work-based gaming, I’ve been rockingKillzone 2as usual, and tried out a some of the newLeft 4 Deadmodes. Good show!
Concelmo:A lot ofValkyria Chroniclesand a lot ofLock’s Quest. Yay!
Holmes:Still haven’t really started in onValkyria Chronicles. I just get the feeling that once I start, I wont be able to stop.
That wasn’t a problem withImpossible MissionandLegend of Kage 2, both on the DS. They may be $10 games, but that doesn’t mean thathaveto be boring and predictable. It’s a shame, because they both feature some surprisingly beautiful sprite work. Too bad their game designs stink.
Then there’s all the stuff I got at Gamestop’s Gamer’s Day;Mushroom Men Wii (average gameplay, great game world, amazing music)Manhunt 2 Wii(laughably bad),Obscure 2 Wii(less laughable, still bad),Silent Hill: Origins PSP(not bad so far),Metal Slug 7 DS(it’s better thanMetal Slug 6, but that’s not saying much), andNamco Museum Virtual Arcade 360(best $15 I’ve ever spent)
North:I hate when people say “Kage” like “cage.”
RYE-YOU?!?!?
Dyson:You’re Thai, quit your bitching. And everyone knows that it’s pronounced ROO.
Leray:How should “Kage” be pronounced, then? Kah-gay?
