Pokemon done Call of Duty-style
Posted by John Kilhefner Categories: Culture, Internet, Nintendo,
I frequently ask myself the question, “what if Modern Warfare 2 was like Pokémon?”, and at last all quandaries have been put to rest courtesy of Blastedroof.com. The new gaming community has fused the two unlikely gaming franchises into what can only be described as utterly brilliant. Included in the seven minute video are some memorable internet personalities such as the British gamer who “played 7hrs straight”, the senior citizen bum from the bus fight video, a MW2 guru who makes video walkthroughs, and a nod to Infinity Ward’s own Robert Bowling. The video pokes fun at noobs, and different styles of play (rushing vs. camping) as well.

The Sarcastic Gamer on Wii Fit
Posted by Michael Cardiff Categories: Accessories, Culture, Wii,
Don’t get me wrong, the Wii Fit looks like a fun idea. I think it’ll be great for workouts, and may have some really cool applications in games like snowboarding or skateboarding. Still, you may look like a tool using it, as Sarcastic Gamer makes clear. See above, their parody video for the Wii Fit, which had me laughing out loud at quite a few moments.

Bully For Me
Posted by Rob Stevens Categories: Adventure, Culture, PlayStation 2,
Saturday was a school work day, with two group meetings early in the day. Once I got home, however, I found a copy of Rockstar’s latest, Bully, waiting for me.
I stayed up until 2AM playing it.
The game is very accessible, but they way they’ve structured the game in several places serves to keep the tension up. You’re basically in perpetual trouble, late to class, out past curfew, etc. When you’re trouble meter is on the rise, you have to avoid the prefects or you’ll be busted on the spot (though you learn ways out of that). The more trouble you’re in, the more likely you are to get a one-way ticket to “The Head’s” office.

Penny Arcade To Offer Comic Adventure Game
Posted by Christopher Sasaki Categories: Adventure, Culture, PC,
Just ahead of the start of this year’s Penny Arcade Expo (PAX), Penny Arcade announced that they would be entering a partnership with Hothead Games to release a video game based around the web comic, titled Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness. The Penny Arcade characters have already appeared in a collectible card game published by Sabretooth games, so this new endeavor will only push their empire further into the areas that are normally the targets of their satire. The game will be offered as downloadable episodic content, and will be playable on the PC, Mac, and Linux platforms initially, with possible releases on next generation console platforms later. Their partner, Hothead Games, is a new company with a strong pedigree; the company was founded by former employees of Radical Entertainment, Silicon Knights, and EA Black Box.
