I finished Portal this morning, I am all set for Portal 2. The game was even shorter than I remember it. They better not be lying when they say Portal 2 is much larger. The co-op campaign will help in the content department as well. I assume everyone is buying (or will play eventually) the game, how many for PS3?
I just realized that this year its Zelda's 25th Anniversary, Sonic's 20th Anniversary, Resident Evil's 15th Anniversary, and Halo's 10th Anniversary
Odds are its many NES game's 25th Anniversary as well. Maybe Mega Man? Castlevania? Metroid? Contra? Double Dragon? Ice Climber?
Xbox muthafucka! Hopefully with THIS:
Lots of classic fucking metal albums too. Makes me all nostalgic and sentimental and shit.
PS3 version here.
It comes with a free Steam version, which is what i'll be playing.
This year is the 20th anniversary of these:
Also the 20th anniversary of Metallica going from awesome to complete MTV whore suckage.

Fuuuuuu.
I've never even heard of this game. Looks cool though.
I'm bangin' my fuckin' head!!!
Bulletstorm is a pretty awesome experience with cool weapons and even cooler deaths. It has it's flaws, but is still very good. The weapons have a nice variety to them and are a blast to use. The character controls are odd. He moves kind of like in shaky cam mode, where movements seem over exaggerated. Of course, everything is more than a little over exaggerated. The environments are nice, well detailed and....colorful. This is kind of shocking considering every other futuristic FPS has a pallette of greys and browns.
The environments are also very linear, which leaves no room for exploration. It makes looking for collectibles and robots hilarious because they are usually right there in front of you. There's no worry about searching or even getting lost. I found it odd that I couldn't destroy more of the environment. I would've thought Epic would have made it where furniture could have been used to your advantage. I have all these cool weapons and moves and all I want to do is to kick, break and smash stuff. It's usually not meant to be, though. Instead I found myself behind a chair or table and the only thing I could do is just simply walk away from it.
I also saw a couple of missed opportunities when it comes to skill kills. For example, when you kick someone, they fly through the air in slo-mo. So I kicked an enemy, ran to the other side and kicked him again like I was kicking a soccer ball. I got no score for the repeated kicking. I also tried the same with shooting someone, where I moved from front to back to shoot him again and again. No go.
Ditto.
Hmm. I just downloaded and tried out the PC demo. I wasn't overly impressed. maybe I have to give it a second try.
Famitsu information translated by andriasang.
Famitsu reveals the game's main character to be named "Ende," and the heroine "Ceres." Voice actor information is not provided.
As suggested by the trailer, the game is heavy on action. Its genre is action RPG. Your primary "weapon" is a chain, which you use to capture enemies and swing to grab items and trigger various gimmicks. The game makes use of a simple control scheme.
The story centers on a curse that's been placed on Ceres. The only way to clear that curse is with the flesh of beasts. Ende must gather beast flesh and take it back to Ceres.
Developed by Ganbarion (Jump Super Stars, One Piece Unlimited Cruise), Pandora's Tower is due for release on May 26, priced at ¥6,800. We'll likely get an official online look at the game later this week.
And some more.
The setting of the game is the Graecia continent, where in the kingdom of Elysium the harvest festival has begun. Ceres has been chosen to sing at the event, but as she takes the podium, beasts appear in the area.
In the ensuing confusion, Ende manages to find Ceres, but she's unconscious. She's about to be taken into custody by the army as a witness to the beast appearance. With the help of a merchant named Graiai, the two manage to escape to an isolated tower.
Ceres ends up being cursed following the beast attack. Ende learns that to clear the curse he must gather the flesh of beasts that live within the tower. He decides to try his hand at the tower.
The three principle characters introduced in the magazine are:
Ceres
15 years old. She was selected from a large number of girls to sing at the harvest festival. She's a devout believer of the Eos religion.
Ende
The game's 22-year-old main character. He was a former soldier of Athens during a war with Elysium. He's a man of few words.
Graiai
The merchant who helps Ceres and Ende. He appears to be of the dwarf race. He gives you the Orichalcum Chain, which lets its possessor know Ceres' state.
The Orichalcum Chain that Graiai gives you is the central gameplay element in the game. As mentioned above, it allows you to know Ceres' state. As you play, you'll see a timer in the lower left of the screen. This timer is an indication of how far Ceres' curse has progressed. When it reaches zero, the game ends.
You'll also use the chain to restrain the servant beasts you encounter in the towers and tear their flesh off for delivery to Ceres, and also to clear the various gimmicks that you encounter in the tower.
The tower is actually not just one tower -- there are twelve, of varying size. Each tower has a different theme. For example, there's the Red Flame Tower, which blocks your progress with fire.
If you reach the deepest point in each tower, Ende will encounter a boss. The flesh of the bosses of all the towers is required to completely clear Ceres of her curse. The flesh of the servant beasts can only temporarily halt the curse's progress.

Thats right, that is awesome of them. Anyway I will be on PS3 of course, co-op whenever you want.
Wow really. I was just thinking of this game actually, totally forgot the name though. I was thinking of 360 games I would like to get and I remembered that 2D DMC XBLA game and wondered why I never heard any impressions of it outside a demo.
