Or: The Great GTA Debate
It's a shorter episode of Nerds Without Pants this week. That's either a blessing or a curse depending on your feelings on the Pantsless Ones. Life got in the way of our normal show format, but that's probably a good thing since you're all playing Grand Theft Auto V right now anyway.
Remember when games were simply fun?
Games have become pretty advanced over the last couple decades. They used to focus on simply being fun to play, but nowadays developers look to create breathtaking visuals, cinematic experiences, deep player choices, and seemingly endless hours of content. The more of these checkboxes a game covers, the more seemingly eligible it is for a high review score.
We've got your Top 40 right here!
It's an all-vocal episode of Digital Mystery Tour this week! Julian brings you seven songs composed and performed exclusively for video games. From the burning spirit of some special rangers to the sour grapes of an evil AI and an opera that will take your breath away, this collection of music really shows the incredible range that can be found in video games. Enjoy, and come back next week when we kick off Battle Themes month. You won't want to miss it!
Micro-gaming coming to Nintendo's next system.
Project P-100 wasn’t the only Wii U title that Nintendo chose not to reveal at their E3 conference. A new WarioWare game is on the way to the new console in the form of Game & Wario, a Wii U launch title.
When I die, I want to go to Rhythm Heaven.
If asked to describe Rhythm Heaven Fever in one short phrase, I'd say it's “a horse of a different color!” Like Rhythm Heaven and the WarioWare games before, Rhythm Heaven Fever does an excellent job of painting itself as a game different from virtually any other. It's more unique, more quirky, and more inspired than a lot of what I've seen in the past. For a title budgeted for release at $30, there's certainly plenty of content to keep the original feeling going for some time.
