Well, I just spent about two and a half hours digging out the driveway and part of the street. I say part of the street because I live on a side street and apparently the city doesn't want to spend the extra time to help out the unfortunate people who don't live on the main streets and leave their streets unploughed. FUCK THEM ALL TO HELL!!!!!! At any rate, my back hurts, my right foot hurts, and today I'll be briefly talking about the 3rd game that I've gotten all the achievements for on my Xbox 360.
THREE SIXTY THURSDAY: BAYONETTA
This game is pretty damn fun. I loved this game mainly because it played a lot like Godhand, which I also loved. It's a big ol action fest filled with sexy movement left and right. Ohhhh, so fun. I've caught myself looking at Bayonetta once or twice while I was pulling off a big combo. But let's let the gameplay talk for itself.
This is just a slight taste of gameplay. I'll admit, I do a lot better than whoever this person was, but I do screw up every now and then. But enough of my ranting. Go buy this game!

Still alive and kickin
Went to a NBA game for the first time last night. Home team lost, but I saw it coming. So yeah, continuing on with the video game related Thursday posts, today is:
'TENDO THURSDAY
I'll be blogging about a random game that I've played on any of the Nintendo systems. Today, I want to take a look back at a game that originally came out on the SNES that I (unfortunately) owned as a kid. In Nintendo Power's 100th issue, it was rated as the third worst game ever on a Nintendo system. Ladies and gentlemen, brace yourself, 'cause we're taking a trip back in time to visit:
SHAQ FU! There are a few modes in this game. A story mode, versus, and a tournament mode. Sounds decent enough right? Well that's where the decency ends. The story mode is basically Shaq going into another dimension to rescue a kid that was kidnapped. You've got a few stereotypes in this game, the black person, the monster, the egyptian guy, and the...uh...catgirl.
Well, the characters and the story are just the bread in this suck sandwich. The meat of it is in the gameplay. You see, it feels really slow, some characters are VERY overpowered if used properly (see above picture), and there are two types of guarding. TWO!!!!! There's normal guarding, which is done by holding away from your opponent, but there's a shield-guard that is done by holding down and I think the L button. And even worse, each guard doesn't guard against the opposite guard, so you're randomly breaking between offense and trying to figure out if your opponent is doing a special move or not. To further emphasize this horrible game, let me show you a gameplay video.
Well, hopefully this shines some light on the past. Maybe next time the Nintendo Thursday rolls around, I'll reflect back on a good game. Until then, just reflect on this sucky game.

Okay, different topic today
Today was originally planned to be Triple Thursday, where I would review a PS3 game. However, things didn't go quite as planned, and so I'll have to take a step back for today. And so, without further ado, I bring to you:
psTWO THURSDAY
Yep. I'm going to be giving a little review on a PS2 game. And today's game is one that I don't think many people have heard about. It's a little gem that wasn't officially released in the US, and it's name is Namco X Capcom.
This game plays like a strategy-type RPG, kinda like Final Fantasy Tactics but not quite. It takes place over many dimensions, covering both the Namco and Capcom side of things. This was the first RPG of this type that I played, and I have to admit, I was drawn in almost immediately. You see the picture above that I posted. Basically everyone in that picture is playable at one point in time or another. Also, the battle style is very outside the ordinary for an RPG of its time. It would be better if I just showed you though.
It's much like a fighter in some ways, but it blends in the RPG aspects to figure out how much damage is dealt, and so on. Unfortunately, you'll only find this game in japanese, but there is an english patch out there somewhere. At any rate, you should definitely get this game. Find it on ebay or something.
