How about, Three Whinos or Game Whinos. Get it, whining and wino? Scumcast is pretty good though. Very catchy. It makes me think you're going to talk about the SCUM engine from 90s PC gaming, but I'm probably the only one who would think that. Scumcast suggests some attitude, like "we're going to be edgy and say whatever we want." I like that.
Cool review man. Liked it.
You can apparently play many sports games like RPGs. The new NBA game among them. Kat Bailey on the Axe of the Blood God podcast (formerly of Active Time Babble and 1UP) talks about that all the time.
Elements of traditional RPGs have been taken for other genres of games now. Stuff like extensive stat management, level progression and equipment buffs. It tends to blur the lines drawn between genres. But I think genres are largely created by marketers to help them describe their product and identify their buyers. How much it matters to the rest of us becomes a social issue I suppose. RPG = nerd. Sports = cool. Whoever wants to seem more important chooses their side and then makes up a line of reasoning to prove they are better. It's stupid.
Yea, it's not hard to control at all. It looks sweet on my HD TV playing from Virtual Console too.
ooo, I so want a Wii-U right now. I may do it this holiday.
You're right, it's sumi-e for the art style. I guess the game's title is some kind of play on the sound of the word sumi-e.
Mercs is great.
Yes, it is the one with the grafitti art. It was fine. Only Tempest seemed to not play right. I couldn't get the thing all the way around the edge like you're supposed to. I tried both buttons and touch screen controls.
They are both really playable. Some others like them don't play as well and seem hideously unfair and frustrating. I had to use some continues playing KoD and KotR, but not many.
Check this out. I scanned this two page ad from a magazine when the game was coming out.
There was also a tie-in comic. I only got the first issue though and scanned the cover.
I guess it would be the trailers for Demon's Souls. I still get goosbumps watching them.
Hearing that Haloesque music in an early trailer for Destiny really got me going too.
I've always wanted to play this. I have a copy now, just need to find the time.
It probably doesn't matter, but I just read The Divine Comedy again. Not sure how much of the game is really from the book, but it should be interesting to see anyway.
When it was compared to GOW, I thought, great! I could play a good GOW clone. GOW is like the best. Glad to hear it's a bit different though.
