Game humor (the Onion)
I'm a huge fan of the Onion (fictious news network) and I particularly enjoy their articles that involve gaming and game characters. So, I'm just going to post links and photos here with some funny stuff from the Onion every now and then. If anyone else wants to post other game humor type stuff (it ...

Re: Anyone have a Wii?
I wasn't really that crazy about Twighlight Princess. I think Nintendo caught a lot of flack for making Link too kiddie in Wind Waker (rightfully so), and then tried to go back to having Link an adult, but some of the charm was lost in the process. The whole wolf thing was a cool idea, but there wer...

Re: Anyone have a Wii?
Softmod? I'm so out of touch lol. If you're looking for a solid game on Wii look no further than Mario Galaxy. It's flashy and has the gameplay to back it up. In the event you're not interested in a mario title, here's a brief list of games worth playing on Wii. 1) Resident Evil the Umbrella Chronic...

Why does ExciteBots suck so bad!?!
ExciteTruck was a fun solid launch game that did a fine job of honoring the original ExciteBike while exploring the uses of the Wii remote when Wii game development was still new. If you have a Wii, I recommend it, it's not the best thing ever, but it's worth playing. ExciteBot Trick Racing on the o...

Re: Mega Man 9
You have better patience than I do Carlos, the ol' Wii remote went flying on quite a few occasions lol. Once I got past the initial frustration, it was a blast. I still play the "endless play" everynow and then.

Re: Why don't they make a new 2D game with 3D graphics?
Pre-rendered, THAT's the term. I'm not sure what the rest of your comment means though, one sentence says "Basically this is a 3d game and not a 2d game" and then the last is "Claymates is a 2d game also." Sighting Claymates specifically, the characters are pre-rendered and the b...

Well, Street Fighter the movie was bad, but they added insult to injury with the game lol.

Re: Oldest games you ever played?
Ahhh yes that sounds about right. I'm pretty sure that's the oldest game I've played. My dad got it for me when I was 6 or so, I have fond memories of having vectors burned into my retinas when I closed my eyes after playing it lol. Props for knowing that title!

Re: Why don't they make a new 2D game with 3D graphics?
Basically just a traditional sprite driven game where 3D models or digital photographs are used for the sprites. Other examples of this are: Clay Fighters, Claymates, Primal Rage, Donkey Kong Country, Mortal Kombat, and Street Fighter the Movie the Game (that game sucks but still counts lol). It's j...

Re: Grrr! Mega Man X can kiss my ass!
That IS a little crazy. Looking back on all the X titles (I've played them all up to X7) 1,4, and 5 are the best (5 is the best of the best). I played X7 (when it went 3D) at a game store and it was a friggin' travisty. Since then I've disowned the X series, but (regular) Megaman 8 is awesome!
