Heck, yes. It does.
We’re all fans of the recent Metroid games here. This one looks like Ryu is in the suit. Please, no waggle.

Watch As Bioware Fixes Star Wars
George, please, watch and take notes as we see Bioware show us what (clearly, this is what they are doing) a duel between Obi-Wan and Vader (what we wanted—not Anakain) could have been.
Star Wars: The Old Republic is an MMO I’m starting to take an interest in.
Crackdown 2 Trailer
The city is infected? Sounds like zombies. I have to let out a sigh here. In videogaming terms, I think zombies are the new WWII. Shoot, we’ve got WWII games with zombies now.
Oh, and the video is lightly spoilerly (I made that up). If you’ve not played the first game. It makes for an interesting premise knowing how the first game ends.
I don’t know if we’ll go crazy here with E3 stuff. (That’s Tony’s call). However we all love Crackdown. So there.
King of Kong – The Rematch
King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters is a documentary about video game records. It’s an amazing documentary. Period. Maybe one of the best I’ve seen.
In it, the challenger Steve Wiebe squares off against Billy Mitchell for the Donkey Kong world record. Actually, Steve does a lot of playing and Mitchell does a lot of – talking?
What’s the big deal now? Steve is going to try and break the record at E3 on June 2nd. A bigger deal? Twin Galaxies (how far can you throw them?) will be there to verify it as well as G4TV. I think G4 will be there to verify Twin Galaxies.
Anyway, if you’ve not seen the documentary, you should. I felt for Steve. Teared up with him as well.
Here’s hoping Steve and Billy get their dues. My guess is Billy won’t even be there, but he’ll make a statement.
Mac is Back!
Love it!
“You gonna do something, or just stand there and bleed?”
In our continuing assault of media and informing the masses of what may be considered good game play this year, I’d like to present to you the trailer for Call Of Juarez: Bound In Blood.
It’s been too long since I’ve played a stupendous, memorably cliched western, and this game may be the answer to it. It’s a prequel of sorts as you play the protagonist’s of the first game step-father and step-uncle.
Look for it in late June, early July. RSS feed readers, come on home to see the goodness.
It’s A Power Trip
We finally get a trailer for inFAMOUS that rises above mediocrity. I want to play this game today. May 26 cannot come soon enough. Amazon has it available for pre-order and I’m a Prime member. I may get it from them just so I’ll have it release day, and I won’t have to go to any stores. I’ll still play the demo, but this video instills some more faith.
It will probably be the only $60 game I’ll buy all year. Well, ok, there’s Dead Rising 2 as well.
Tony, It Just Gets Better (Dead Rising 2)
There’s a new trailer out today for Dead Rising 2. Hilarity ensues.
Kotaku also has some impressions up (with screenies) and an interview with Capcom and Blue Castle Games.
Stalin VS. Martians…on Steam
My favorite PC gaming service is serving up a platter of Stalin vs. Martians on April 29 for a discounted price of $15.99 (pre-order only I think). This is good news for me because: 1) I don’t want anymore digital distribution “services” besides Steam and Impulse, 2) It’s a game with what appears to be quirk, 3) It’s on the sweet spot for trying without a demo.
I’ll probably get what I pay for—hey! Is that a dancing Stalin?!?!
It’s Not Just An Awesome Hat You Wear
Judging by this trailer, this is a title to look out for.
I’m really starting to fall for these type of innovative, pixellated games. If we would have never come out of the 8-bit era, would we have seen games like this on the NES?
