Oh yes, another trailer!  I love the Metroid series, so I’m naturally anticipating this game.  Before you start drooling though, this trailer doesn’t show any gameplay at all.  I know, what a bummer.  Samus looks a little weird to me, but then again, she’s younger here and it is a new art style afterall.
The Other [...]

Bayonetta

The wait is not much longer now.  Been playing the demo nonstop.

On Sega’s Bayonetta blog on IGN, special effects designer, Kudo, talks briefly about his work on Bayonetta.  We all know how special effects can really enhance a game, but have you ever seen video comparisons with and without special effects?  Kudo posted a couple of videos on the blog, one with the special effects and [...]

Yeah, not really that newsworthy, but today is my last day at college.  The semester is over and I have a Japanese final to take in two and a half hours.  Anyway, as you can see, the two colors announced are pink and blue.  How nice.  What’s not nice though are the white Wii Motion [...]
