Games of the week for 03/21/10: No Hot Chip
edition

post from Destructoid on 21 March 2010 05:00:00 PM. © Destructoid

video details and more

I was going to feature the brilliant new music video for Hot Chip's "I Feel Better" for our Games of the Week post, but finding a vid without embedding disabled is impossible, so there shall be no promotion. Shame, because it really is quite brilliant. You ought to go and check it out yourselves if you can be arsed.

In other news, we played videogames! Read on to find out which ones!

North: Pokemon HeartGold is actually my main focus this week. Nice alternatives with Yakuza 3 and 3d Dot Game Heroes, both of which are also fantastic. Good month to be a gamer!

Ross: Wrapping up Command & Conquer 4, got in some Final Fantasy XIII and God of War III, still trying to finish Miles Edgeworth, and getting in little bits of SoulSilver whenever I can.

Tolentino: Yes, it's a good month to be a gamer, but also a damned expensive month.

I've been alternating between Resonance of Fate for review and Dragon Age, while playing Persona PSP to sleep and patiently waiting for my copy of Infinite Space to arrive. Then I'll be covered on all platform fronts.

Sterling: Lots of games this week! 3D Dot Game Heroes has been the main one. A lot of fun indeed. Then there's Fragile Dreams, which is like No More Heroes in that there is so much wrong with it, yet the overall experience is both unique and gripping. Fitting in some more Pokemon SoulSilver where I can, for my Ekans must be cultivated. Played a bit of Perfect Dark on XBLA. Also, God of War III, which is the same old game I've played before, but it looks amazing.

Also been rocking the nostalgia on the Virtual Console with Ocarina of Time, and the original Super Mario Bros. that was gifted to me by Dtoid reader Tron. Thanks!

Aziz: I was playing Modern Warfare 2 for the Xbox 360 until my system finally got the 3 Rings of Death. Oh well. This just means I'll be playing God of War III for the PlayStation 3 now.

Concelmo: I AM AT DISNEYLAND RIGHT NOW AND IT IS AMAZING! :D

Chester: Spending a lot of time with Just Cause 2 which is big and loooooong. If can manage to finish this game, expect a release date review.

Learning the WarioWare D.I.Y. ropes, and making my own micro-games!

Also been playing Rage of the Gladiator which is a surprisingly solid and tough Punch-Out!! style game for WiiWare.

Looking forward to digging into 3D Dot Heroes this week, too. Dale and Jim seem to be having a blast, and I'm jealous.

PerLee: I'm really digging FFXIII. It's weird, but I kinda like having my hand held. It's a really relaxing, oddly. I can totally recognize all the complaints against it, but I still like it a ton. Go figure. Hopefully
I'll beat this one.

Tolentino: Hand-holding isn't so bad. In fact, Resonance of Fate could probably have used a little more.

Holmes: You guys have 3D Dot Heroes!?! SO JEALOUS!

As for me, started playing God of War 2 and Fragile Dreams. Have about 40 minutes into both. I can safely say that if these two games had a baby, it would be the perfect videogame, barring that it didn't inherent any of it's parents' lesser traits (God of War 2's soullessness and cliches, Fragile Dreams' lack of polish crappy combat system).

Also spent a hell of a lot of time with Rondo of Blood on the Virtual Console. Unlike the PSP game seems to be a perfect port of the original, barring the new German voice actor in the intro. Why'd they get a new guy to spreken de deutsch, and why didn't they just have him speak some English instead?

Also played more Yakuza 3, Mega Man 10, and Deadly Premonition.

Sarkar: Got Battlefield: Bad Company 2 on Tuesday; played multiplayer on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights for a total of, like, 10 hours or so. Yep, I'm officially addicted. I haven't checked out the single-player campaign yet, but since somebody on my Xbox Live friends list is always playing MP when I turn on my 360, I haven't had the urge to go solo.

I also checked out the Splinter Cell: Conviction demo, which made me realize that I just might not be very good at stealth games. And maybe I'm missing stuff, but it seemed very linear in that you didn't get many options in how you wanted to proceed. If someone wants to enlighten me, please do so.

Finally, I played a bunch of MLB 10 The Show, as usual. I tried playing a few online games, but it appears that -- yet again -- The Show is pretty bad online. I haven't had a single lag-free game yet, and when the delay is causing you to throw meatballs (or balls way out of the strike zone) and flail wildly at pitches because you have to guess fastball, it's just not fun at all.

Razak: I finally beat Uncharted 2 and must admit I am impressed, but not super impressed. It's good, and does some great things to make the game feel more like a movie, but also loses feeling like a game because of it. It's like in this odd limbo sometimes. Nathan Drake on the other hand is just awesome, though I still wish they actually developed more than just a one-liner dropping action star. There's no character development there. He starts the game the same way he finishes, and yet the rest of the plot is so deep and robust.

Finally finishing up Spirit Tracks as well. I got sidetracked (har har), but it's still a blast.

WarioWare D.I.Y. can get really, really violent

WarioWare D.I.Y. can get really, really violent screenshot

video details and more

What is all this talk about Nintendo not making adult games? The video above clearly shows that WarioWare D.I.Y. is heavily gunning for "Most Violent Game of the Year," and at the moment seems to have a healthy lead in the "Nailing Someone to a Cross" category.

It's not clear who the wonderfully demented person that came up with all of these is, but it is clear that you can pretty much do whatever the hell you want in D.I.Y. As we previously pointed out in our preview, it's surprisingly easy to do it as well.

I'm going to have trouble shaking the image from my mind of Wario maniacally laughing after watching someone get beheaded by a saw. I'm sure his laughter looked friendly once, but it will now haunt my dreams forever.

Please Wash After Handling the Corpse Fragments

post from Gaming After 40 on 21 March 2010 04:00:00 PM. © Gaming After 40

With all the Resident Evil 5 action in our house of late, this health label at a wash-up station in our local grocery store came off completely wrong when I first read it:

Apologies for the quality of the cellphone photograph -- the situations requiring washing of hands are listed as follows:

Between handling raw and ready to eat foods
After using the restroom
Before you start work
After touching body parts

All appropriate advice, no doubt. But a little unnerving to see posted near the butcher's counter.
