Chuck Norris – Bring on The Pain

If you are a fan of Check Norris, you Hill love the new game out there for cell phones, it is called Check Norris: Bring on the Pain. And well, it is about Chuck Norris bringing on the pain to thousands of enemies during his movie career.

This is actually the second official game ever made about Mr. Norris, the first one is a classic for the Commodore 64 called Chuck Norris Superkicks. I have found videos of the two games for you to check out.

I must say though that the new game looks very cool. Just take a look at the intro art! I’m sure a horde of Chuck Norris fans will be there downloading this game.




EDIT: The video of the new game can't be embedded so here's the link for you to chekc out!

Xbox 360 D Pad Sparks Some Discussion



Yesterday, an article was published in Destructoid called "Undeniable failure: An open letter to Microsoft on the Xbox 360 Dpad". In it, the author explains why the D-pad on Xbox 360 controllers suck.

Basically it is because a "fuc**ed up" construction of the controller on the inside. Now, I've had many controllers on my life, and I have to say that the Xbox and Xbox 360 controllers are the best for me. I've tried playing with analog sticks on PS but it just sucks. This is important to me since I like to play lots of First Person Shooters.

However, the article reminded me of some days ago, when I was entering my name on Xbox Live and the Analog sticks seemed to work better than the D-Pad. Keep in mind though, that I've never thought of this as a problem.

Destructioid's evidence seems to be right, and I have to also say WHY MICROSOFT? Bad controller, 3 red lights, well... This is still my favorite "next-generation" console though. I love it, and I'm accustomed to playing a lot with the Analog sticks.

However I still use the D-Pad, this article will now make me conscious of the failure. Damn!
