Well, the title isn’t quite the tongue-twister I was hoping to make it, but I tried.
Sonic Unleashed has a new trailer up, and if there’s one thing you can say about this game even in its early stages, it’s fast.
Yeah, Sonic is kind of known for the speed thing, but…no, seriously. It’s fast.

You know what sucks? Having to type shit up after being bit on the hand by a dog. That sucks. The wound’s swelled up nicely and thanks to an appropriately-located red mark, it looks like I have a boob growing on the back of my hand.
Maybe it’s Providence that’s led Playstation 3 news to be as thin as orphanage gruel today (now that I’ve said that, some major story is going to bust waaay open). Developers are gathering their strength for one big E3 Spirit-Bomb. That’s when we’ll find out that Sony and Nintendo are working on a system together, omg guys I have a cousin who cleans toilets at Microsoft, he totally knows these things.

If you make the journey to Tibet and check the history archives for Video Games and Other Slacker Sports, you’ll notice something most gamers tend to forget: The push for realistic graphics is not a new fad.
When in-game artists were restricted to eight and sixteen bits, their pixel art was often forced to take on a more cartoony tint. In fact, that’s how some popular characters acquired their entire phenotypes: Mega Man is blue because it was the widest colour palette on the Nintendo.
Common complaints about modern games would have you believe that today’s developers left their imaginations at home, but game developers have always strived for realism. If that weren’t the case, Mario wouldn’t even have his trademark mustache.

Have you ever dreamed of rubbing your body up against some aspect of master game designer Hideo Kojima? If you can settle for his signature, you might be in luck.

Happy Metal Gear Solid 4 Day! Or, uh, Happy Snake Solstice, if you prefer? I just made that one up.
Do you get the day off in honour of our hero’s last hurrah? I sure as hell don’t. So here’s a Metal Gear Solid 4 blowout for you word vultures.

I don’t even know what to make of this one.
Destructoid has posted a rumour about the possibility of the long-awaited Mega Man 9 being made available by Capcom on Playstation Network and Xbox Live. The article is transcribed by “Ron NSFWorkman,” but he refuses to take credit for the rumour itself. Instead, all honour is upon “Spacecat.”

Far be it for me to pay attention to a list put together by Screw Attack (especially a list lacking Handsome Tom’s opinion), but it’s an interesting walk through game history. It also makes me realise how badly the Playstation 3 needs some new FPS blood, so to speak. Good thing Bioshock is a-comin’.

When a game system’s dynasty passes, we quickly become nostalgic for the titles that shone. Sometimes, though, the brave among us seek out the stinky titles that are festering at the bottom of EB’s bargain bin for the purpose of chronicling their adventures in Stinkytown.
Are you a bad enough dude to part with ten bucks worth of beer money for the sake of giving the world a much-needed laugh? You know you’re not. Luckily there are a few people on creation who are able to man up and give us what we crave.

I know the Internet needs more gaming webcomics like a centipede needs more legs, but I will admit I lack the frothing hate that some critics spew unto the genre. It’s over-saturated and formulaic, but there’s a certain predictability that I find comforting about the whole thing.
I’ve never been a fan of Tim Buckley’s Ctrl+Alt+Del, but I’ve never hated it, either. Regardless, Buckley’s much-publicised attempt to inject real-life drama into his middle-of-the-road comic about gamers who sit on the couch and natter about Playstation leaves me weary and a little dizzy.
(Or maybe I just ate some bad tomatoes.)
