To Finish the Game o to Squeeze It Until It’s Dry?

From my experience, when it comes to players, there are two types of them, regarding how they consider a game finished. One of them just moves forward with the story and missions until he or she gets “The End”, the credits and that stuff. The other one isn’t satisfied with fancy letters running up the screen and exhilarating CG Animation – They want more –They want all!!!

There could even be a third class, which is a mix. I am of this hybrid class. There are games that really deserve to be squeezed to the max. (They are fun, cool extras get unlocked, or it becomes a vice!) I can mention a few: GTA San Andreas, Saints Row, Crackdown, Need for Speed, etc.

Which kind of player are you? If you like playing a lot of games like I do, sometimes you have no other choice than play until the end, try another game and so on. But if you have had the same 5 games for the last 3 years, you can become an expert one ach one! I remember playing the Aladdin game on SNES over and over again just beating my best time to finish it … Ahh…those days… I could have bought the worse game out there, and still play it every day.

Late Too Late Reviews: Burnout Revenge

Today I’ve been playing Burnout Revenge for 15 minutes, here is my first impression:

This game is totally different from what you’ve played n car games. It’s like an advanced bumper car ride, along with all the cool cars you’ll have available. One thing: out of the first 15 minutes, I had to stand 10 of them of a girl (sounding much like Brooke Burke on NFS Underground) giving me all the details on the game, races, cars etc.

You thought you got rid of her? No! She is still in the very first race of each type giving you again those 10 minutes videos of cars smashing on each other while she still talks and talks and talks. Well, as you can see, I’ve only played 5 minutes of game, and then I had to go to the bathroom, and let my girlfriend play it for a while. She was instantly hooked. So there’s something to give your girl when you want to distract her for a few minutes. ;)

Well, that’s it. I really like smashing cars, and actually is pretty harder than it sounds, because you are looking for big combos here!. This is it so far in my late too late review. This game is from 2005 go figure. I have a stash of Xbox games that I’ve never played. So it’s time to get my thumbs dirrrrrty! Peace!

New Overlord Screenshots

Overlord is an upcoming game from Triumph Studios soon to be released for the Xbox 360 and PC. And I have to say the new screenshots look VERY NICE!!!

Well, to define the graphic style I think I should say “It’s like grabbing fable and Oblivion and mixing it in a big bad bowl” But enough talking, when the word screenshots is out we just wanna see the pictures. Following this link to Kotaku.

Day of the Tentacle Wall Art

I never get tired of game-related stuff. Shirts, caps, music, shows, paintings, you name it. If I had enough money I’d start collecting all those sort of things, because gaming is a part of my life.

This time I bring a wall painting made by Omer van Kloeten. As you can see the subject is the Tentacle made famous by Lucasarts with their game Day of the Tentacle, whose heroe was the popular tentacle from the classic Maniac Mansion – A game I’ve played in NES and never got to finish it.

Enjoy this piece of art in all its glory, and also take a look at the process on Omer’s Flickr Gallery.

It's Raining Pokeballs - Halleluyah!

If you like to watch a lot of balls, you will love this commercial. You will se loooots of balls falling from the skies!! Okay, now don't get too excited ladies out there ;). This is the new commercial for the new Pokemon games for Nintendo DS hitting the stores this April 22nd.

I haven't played Pokemon games since the first ones for Gameboy color (... I think it was Pokemon Red) but I remember I had fun catching them all. Then it seemed to me that every game was the same so I stopped playing it. But, hey one thing I learned from buying a lot of games is it enver hurts to give it a try.

The Ring of Death Visited Me

Well, it sure sounds as a japanese horror flick, but it isn't. What I'm talkin about here is the -until the writing of this post- death of my dear, beloved Xbox 360.

That's right my friends, the dreaded red light came out with an error E74 on the screen, just when I decided to buy Dead or Alive 4 the next day (I finished all DOA Ultimate the previous day). You know, I'm living in Peru, so the whole guarantee-change of the Xbox is kinda tricky, so I brought it to my man A.O. to see if he could fix it. Though as of now he is still finding a way of makinf it work thanks his tech-magic, we discovered while tearing apart the machine, that four small discs that usually go under some bolts were not there - why? - Someone had opened and handled the machine before. Since no one here beside A.O. knows how to do it, we had the answer right away: The Microsoft gang.

They probably received a failed machined, repaired it and sold it again as new TO ME.

I'm really pissed off at my machine dying, but I still like a lot my 360. Why don't they fix things? why it soen't work flawless like the tough Xbox? These are questions unanswered by humanity today. But maybe old Bill will give the answers from his multimillion dollars french chateau. Damn him!

The Voice of Mr Mario Bros!!!

Well I don't know if I can call that little moustache guy Mr. Mario, I think he is also a doctor... Anyway, do you know the guy that makes his voice, and the voice of Wario as well???? You can see him in this video, where he shows that characters doesn't look like the guys who make voice. If you expected a short guy with a hairy moustache, I tell you player, you're headed to a biiiiig disappointment.

I find very cool that he can double the voice as well as control the character. But as one comment says: Is that a PS2????

Founder of Rare are without a job

Rare, the same company that gave us titles such as Donkey Kong Country and Killer Instinct, was founded by the Stamper brothers. They had quite success during the period those games came out. Then Microsoft bought the company in $377 million (a lot of cash) Well, the thing is now these brothers are not working anymore for the company. Some rumors say that this happened due to the low sales of their ltest title Viva Piñata, for the Xbox 360.

I really feel bad when things such as this happens. And even more bad, when I see it is very common in big companies. I can say, that I would hate being fired from the same company I helped build. But well, some might say, this is the way businesses works.
