Yeah, so I’m back from vacation in Hawaii. My real job is consuming all my free time right now, so updates will start again soon. Rock!
UNSEXY EDIT (a pic):
Archive for February, 2008Aside from Apollo Justice it’s a pretty weak release week. I guess people might be interested in Dragon Quest Swords for the Wii, but nothing out there screams blockbuster right now. Depending on how it plays, I may be interested in the Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection for the PSP and Wii. Williams is generally considered to be the top maker of pinball machines by most collectors and enthusiasts. Xbox 360:

STP is back with another song (praise be!) and they’re joined by Weezer and Garbage. All three artists already have tracks on Rock Band, so it should bring in a familiar flavor. I’ll probably end up grabbing all three.
We’re here ignoring our significant others for a bit to bring to you a very sexy and very loving edition of the Stupid Gamer Podcast. We discuss Audiosurf, love in games, and a few other things you’d hate to miss. Here’s the basic rundown:

Download the show here, or on iTunes. Either way, it will make you a better person. A user from the ScoreHero forums found some hidden information buried within the .bin file of a recent song pack released (most likely the Punk Pack 02). The file contained several song names, and points to future song releases for the game. I’m not going to match song names up to artists, but I imagine many of them are notable enough tracks that you’ll already know. Here are the songs that appeared: (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction Some of the songs here are just flat out awesome, so I hope that most, if not all of these, end up making their way to the official release list. We’ll post more once we find out how valid this list is (it seems like a lock), or if this was just a case of Harmonix accidentally leaving some notes on a file (less likely). Since I love all of you, I figured I’d post some nice deals that I ran into checking out games on Amazon. In my opinion, the games listed here are well worth the price of entry, at these prices. In the case of Patapon and Zak & Wiki, that is actually full retail price, but you should go ahead and grab them now, as a price drop will most likely be a long time coming. The prices below are for the games if you bought them new. If you buy used, from a private seller, you can most likely pick them up for 25%-50% less. No covers this week, everything is from a master track. I don’t know that I’ll grab anything this week, but I do have to admit that I did get Roam last week. It doesn’t make me less of a man, either, so shut up. Here are the choices this week:
A couple of interesting releases this week, including Sakaguchi’s Lost Odyssey, will have RPG fans keeping busy. Harvest Moon on the Virtual Console is quite nice as well. Here are the games for this week: Xbox 360:

We kept our promises and we’re back for a second week in a row. We had some odd noise on the line, so please excuse that and hopefully we can clean it up for next week. And no, the noise isn’t related at all to the background music…it’s quite mysterious. Can we safely assume it’s a ghost’s tomfoolery? Yes, I think we can. Here are the show notes and links:

With the release of Advance Wars: Days of Ruin, I decided to pull together some tips and strategies for Advance Wars. I noticed that a lot of newcomers to the series were on message boards across the Internet complaining about the difficulty of the game or their inability to nail down a good strategy. I hope this little guide helps out, and I’ll be adding to it over time. Here’s the link: Advance Wars Strategy and Tips. You can find this easily in the link just below the site banner as well, right next to that HDTV buying guide that I never finished and is probably horribly out of date.
So, feel free to comment on whether or not the guide was useful or if you have anything to add. If you haven’t played Advance Wars, now is the time to start! All of the titles are excellent, don’t pass on a single one. |
