Leave a comment

For those of you who missed the epic platformer flash game MEAT BOY you should click one of those links and check it out right now.

For everyone who knows what I’m talking about, you should be super excited because SUPER MEAT BOY is coming out in less than two days! Featured as downloadable game for WiiWare, XBox Live, and PC that has already recieved rave reviews. I’ll let a little copy paste action explain:
Super Meat Boy is a game where you play as a boy without skin whos girlfriend who is made of bandages gets kidnapped by a fetus in a tuxedo wearing a top hat and a monocle.

Super Meat Boy features platforming madness spanning over 300 levels of saws, disease, fire, lasers, missiles, and various other traps that Meat Boy must avoid to rescue is lady love.

Right? who couldn’t love that? The flash version is super fun and deliciously meaty, so I’m super stoked to heave my credit card at my TV to get SUPER MEAT BOY when it’s out!

I particularly enjoy the F.A.Q. posted on their website:

PROTO ATTACK! A Website About Playing Games

I recently heard from Mike E., author of the website ProtoAttack.com, who’s headline instantly caught my attention “A Website About Playing Games, Not Reviewing Them”

In a Internet saturated by 70% Porn, 25% Nerds reviewing videogames and 5% people crying on YouTube, this was a welcome breath of fresh air. Their top post today, How Nintendo’s Harsh Rules Saved The Industry is very interesting, and worth a read. Nice to see some people breaking the mold in the supersatured blog-o-sphere.

A Gritty, Live Action Pokemon Movie ?!

1 Comment

I was browsing the puketastic new layout of SickDamage.com when I ran across this video. Leaked to ShogunGamer.com, this appears to be a screener of a trailer for an upcoming Pokemon movie. Colorful CG creatures aside, the film looks well shot and a darker tone is set by this video. This might just be the thing that gets me back into the franchise. If you’re not familiar with Pokemon, this post probably won’t help, but seriously who’s not familiar with the series that created Mankind’s Cutest Creation? Just watch the video.
