I Hope This Doesn't Spore You...

...



...no one?


Ok that was terrible. I apologise.

But this video isn't and I think it more than makes up for any waiting period... or bad, sticky, slimy, nasty...

...pun.

*wipes self off*

Here.



I hate you Will Wright. I don't even like sim-games and I want this.

Hate Beams...

Took this from Gametrailers, obviously.

I Was Right: Wii Is Now Best-Selling System This Gen

I predicted back in the first podcast that the Wii would overtake the 360 in sales around the August-September period - and, as you can see above, from VGChartz.com, it's done just that.

However, I'm sure the 360 is leading, far and away, on attachments.

VGChartz.com: Wii Is Market Leader In Home Console Sales

Ten Songs! Added To Rock Band! WOOOOO!

Here they are.

Rolling Stones, "Gimme Shelter"
Deep Purple, "Highway Star"
The Clash, "Should I Stay or Should I Go"
Faith No More, "Epic"
Smashing Pumpkins, "Cherub Rock"
Radiohead, "Creep"
Beastie Boys, "Sabotage"
Jet, "Are You Gonna Be My Girl"
OK Go, "Here It Goes Again"
Nine Inch Nails, "The Hand That Feeds"

I was thinking the other day that they should have The Clash. And Harmonix listened. And then upped it with some Faith No More! Truly they are the Kings of... Kingses? Kings's?

SUPER DIMENSION STEALING BROS. AWESOME

So...apparently the Subspace Emissary mode is all about this pissed off minister who wants to steal our dimension and put it in the subspace dimension.

The Pissed off Minister of...Dimension stealing?


This is all about land you see. You can never make new land, so he will steal it. That's my take at least.



Awesome.

This is done by using giant bombs which splice out sections of our dimension. I won't even mention what the things on either side of the bomb are. If you don't know what they are then you don't deserve to call yourself a Nintendo fan.



Poof it's gone.


Thoughts? New story mode is cool, as long as you have to put over 6700 hours into it to complete it, and there are 1400 characters and pointless troph...stickers you earn.

Oh wait, fuck that.

Let's hope the minister doesnt find Superman's land making crystals. Or talk to Lex Luthor.

Thanks to The Dojo! once again.

Avalanche of Ratchet And Clank Future Movies Kills 12, Injures Hundreds

GameTrailers has uploaded a LOT of Ratchet And Clank Future: Tools of Destruction movies. I swear, if this game doesn't win an award for something, I will honestly be shocked.

I mean, I know it won't win "Game of The Year" stuff - Bungie's pulling aside the over-given Halo 2 awards to make room for Halo 3's upcoming ones (although I really do feel that Bioshock will be the best FPS this year, bar none) - but goddamn if this is not one of the prettiest and most personality-filled games I've seen. Watch the Ice Pirate Dance Off, catch the two pirates making snow angels. Look at the bug-squashing gameplay, and look at how natural the world seems.

By the way, the game's hitting October 23rd, 2007. Do a dance of joy.

And, yeah, I know: I posted to the game's page on GameTrailers and didn't embed the videos here, like other sites. It's easier this way, and you can watch stuff in HD as well. Who doesn't want that?!

Holy Crap! Devil World? Stickers? Smash Brawl Gets Weirder

Over at Smash Bros. DOJO!!, they've done a lot of wacky updating. For one, there's a new Assist Trophy - which is the top image. It's Devil, from Devil World. Yeah, I haven't heard of it, either, but that's because it never made it over here.

The other thing? Stickers! These things will appear randomly as you go through the game - think of them as an equivalent to coins, just not as common, but far easier to get than Trophies.

Weird stuff, but then again, the series story is technically that the toys come to life... AND FIGHT. And the final boss for Melee was the kid's HANDS, which you destroy. Yeah.
