I've already been there,Cary. Ninja stealth! 
I think you'd like Fyuria too. She's the strong independent warrior type. She also seems to be an adult despite her lithe physique. Ellis is sweet and really kindhearted but she seems "childish". I've grown to care about her but not in that "OMG hawtness,I wanna bang you!" kind of way.
Yeah, "Troma" by itself implies low budget. lol. There was no need for me to be "long winded" with that one,Joe.
If you can find it watch "Wolf Children" ,Cary. It's not by Miyazaki but I think the people who made it were very inspired by Ghilbi's films.
I think Bioshock infinite had the potential to tell a good story. It addresses an era in history when a lot was wrong with America. (And those undercurrents can be felt even today) Yet it still limits itself to being a 1st person shooter. As you and your friends brought up earlier, the gameplay does not "fit" all the situations that are presented. I think I'd be more intrigued by the game if it had a Mass Effect-esque conversation wheel. That and if your choices would gradually change the world around you. Multiple endings (true multiple endings) could have added more re-play value too. I also prefer the darker and more tense atmosphere of the past Shock games so we're 100% in agreeance on that as well,Blake.
I used to consider Super Metroid my favorite Metroid game but "Zero mission" was pretty amazing too. I know it's just a flashier remake of its' original nes counterpart but it's really well done! Also, without Metroid there never would have been SOTN and THAT would be a tragedy!
I agree,Kev. Honestly When it comes to being "risque" it would be more disturbing to put someone in the shoes of a murderer or rapist. At least to me games like Manhunt and Rapelay are more "edgy" than what I offer in my game. Essentially what people are getting offended by is a portion of a character's "thoughts" as he witnesses a psychic manifestation of his friend's memory who was raped. A friend who he gives his life to save.
Yes a part of him deep down was aroused but he's ashamed and repulsed by that aspect of himself. It's not as if he revels in it.
If these kids want to know what real "shock" is they should watch Clockwork Orange,The Piano,or Schindler's list. There are many films and television shows that have went further than what I have done. (And are more graphic with doing it considering words and old school sprires cannot convey the realistic body language and facial expressions of real actors.)
As of now I completed the "school area" and I'm going through it again just to grind. The only dark purveyor I've killed so far is Zed. lol.
Sorry about the injury,James. I've read from a few people the class of heroes games aren't too shabby! I also plan on going back to Lollipop chainsaw soon.
I like fighting games so I'd try to contribute! My only problen with BaD is everyone tries to post everyday so sometimes that makes it more difficult to find specific blogs that get lost in the bustling shuffle so to speak. lol.
This suggestion may be "left field" but "Godeater Burst" is a game akin to Monster Hunter with a great story,many missions, and lots of customization. It was originally on the psp but I imagine it has a digital version for the vita too.
Additionally there's Star Ocean 2nd evolution,Jean D'Arc, and even Final Fantasy Duodecom if you want an epic fighting game with FF characters that also packs in a lot of rpg mechanics.
