I posted a review of Banjo Kazooie this last fall on TAY. Having never played it before I was ready to play this game that everyone was crazy about. There a couple of places where it shows it’s age, but I actually prefer it to Mario 64 by an enormous margin. The camera in Mario 64 is awful and his analog controls…

From my understanding, the biggest problem people have with cartoons is that they can’t make an emotional connection with the characters. That works fine with something like the Simpson’s which is solely about comedy, but for more serious shows it didn’t work which makes me sad

There are so many different places you could go with this show. The lore in the games is actually incredibly huge. My dad used to play and it was really cool and complex. Myst 3 was the only one I actually beat despite having 1, 2, and 4.

the only issue with N3ds Xenoblade is that the graphics are awful. Normally, that’s not a problem for me, Graphics aren’t the be-all, end-all for games. But Xenoblade is primarily build on atmosphere and you lose a lot of that in the transition even from 480i to 240p. It’s sad to see the terrific art direction limited…

I heard Nintendo fixed the exploit with a patch. Do you know if this works on New 3DS? Will my 3ds get softbricked? Are there ways to restore it?

Aside from Harley’s high-heel sneaker’s, I don’t have a problem with this. They’re supposed to be military-like so all the grey and black makes sense. A little sad Killer Croc isn’t as deformed as in the Arkham Games. And I could tell pretty easily who each character was for the most part.

Okay, no need to get hostile. I get what you’re saying. I still have more faith in them than you do, but I also don’t know much about the history and environments of development so I’m willing to defer to your superior judgement. I just played banjo this summer, so this isn’t a nostalgia thing for me. The biggest…

But the grunt work in a group of 15 people isn’t just grunt work, it’s pretty vital part of what makes the game feel the way that it does. Yes, these people weren’t the “creative director” of banjo kazooie, but it seemed to me from what they were doing that it was a pretty clear vision of where they wanted the game to…

really? I thought all of the original talent for Banjo Kazooie left before Rare bought them. And they mentioned one of the guys who designed the Kong’s used to be at New Rare, but left to join this company. Do we have any confirmation of this? That would be disappointing

First Kickstarter backed project, totally worth it. Played Banjo Kazooie this fall for the first time and loved it. Bought myself a Wii U copy. It astounds me they’ve raised a million dollars in less than a day. I also liked how they mentioned giving themselves lower salaries and how they already had personal funds to…

Search the internet and you’ll find someone is already making an unofficial metroid 2 remake. Inever played it, so I’m looking forward to it. Also how they put zero mission on the eshop. I never grout to play that one either and the first one is to obtuse

I am extremely excited for what this could do to make modding possible in games where it wasn’t before. Imagine (won’t happen) what Mass Effect 4 would be like with mods? Or Batman Arkham Knight? Or any game coming out on PC? If companies can get free money, then they might put the time and effort into allowing the…

If when they finally make a Superman 2 movie, it should be based on Superman vs. the Elite. It still primarily focuses on Superman’s strengths as a character, but puts it less in a messiah complex and more into a question of moral justice. I think that story was based on “What ever happened to truth, Justice, and the…

The empire was misogynist (right word?), but it wasn’t quite as prevalent as the xenophobia. Female officers had a harder time being put into positions of power, but were still allowed to rise through the ranks due to extraordinary skills. Obviously some of that is retconned with the dawn of the female governor on…

Make that three live-action network television shows, AoS, the spinoff and one other one.

I would play Alan Wake at night with headphones on and my dad would come up behind me and scare me. He got a hoot out of it. I did not. The way the game just DRIPS with atmosphere was awesome, and the story was fantastic. Hopefully with all those steam sales and humble bundles it will have a large enough consumer base…

Just read the whole gamercat archive. Had no idea how good that was. So funny.

As much as I don’t like forcing Grimdark where it doesn’t need to be, it looks like this film will be a batman movie costarring Superman, rather than a Superman Movie costarring batman. Which works for what we’ve seen. The questions about what we do with a superhero who is basically god, are legitimate ones, and if…
