RANDOM GAME NONSENSE

Posted by JohnnyUtah Nov. 21, 2007 @ 4:52 PM EST

I've been playing the ol' PS3 more and more lately. I downloaded the Devil's Weekend add-on races for Motorstorm - a game I still dig - and some of those races are god damn sadistic but I eventually scored all golds and as my prize some mad max looking vehicle I can LOSE with online. Hurray!

Uncharted: Drakes Fortune is a great game in my humble opinion. Scratch that - IT IS A GREAT NI*****FIC GAME PERIOD. I'm about half way though thus far. If you're into Gears of War gameplay mechanics you'll be into this. Not to mention it's one of the best looking games I've seen. The videos and demo don't do it justice. Also, it's got it's own 1000 point achievement system with lots of unlockable rewards. This is the kind of system I can get behind - you actually get stuff - not just queer bragging rights that you cheated your way though your halo achievements. (you know who you are)

I'm also really impressed with Mario Galaxy that I've been playing though on the office Wii. The storyline and characters are borderline terrible with sensibilities aimed at 3 year olds and the co-op mode is a sick joke for second players actually looking for some fun. I mean my god, waving a cursor around is only fun for said 3 year olds, no self-esteem/dummy girlfriends hoping to connect with their selfish videogame obsessed boyfriends, and high-as-a-kite teenagers trying to write out their name on the screen with a glowy star. ANYWAYS, every level is completely different in gameplay and visuals and it holds my fickle interests.

And I'm still working though God of War: You're Only Bored Enough To Play When You're On The Bowl Cell Phone Edition. Almost there though.

When does your next TANKMAN or anything else come out?

Nov. 22, 2007 | 9:16 AM JohnnyUtah responds:

SOON


Nov. 22, 2007 | 1:00 PM Splurda says:

i see...

i'm glad at least SOMEONE else has a PS3 becides me.

Nov. 25, 2007 | 9:42 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

it's sad, i know.


Nov. 22, 2007 | 10:07 PM Goat-Man says:

leave the man alone with his movie! he will mention them when they are closer to release, or when he feels like it. right now we are taking about said games.

i for on only have a wii. i would love to play super mario galaxy. one thing im finding sucks about the wii, is that game are either multiplayer or not.

if the game is made for two or more players, it is extremely addicting to play with friends, but lacks a quality single player mode. but if the game was made for single player mode, and just has those little extra multiplayer things, they suck.

i persoanlly love fire emblem. i play the gba version on my emulator all the time, and can;t wait to get radiant dawn. i've heard its hard. but thats why it will be fun, because if they die, they die forever. HA!

back on topic though, nice cartoon. i like the facial features, and the animation style on the TV


Nov. 23, 2007 | 1:43 AM RaNcIdPsYcHoJoSh says:

Ahaha

A fucking collectathon Mario game is "borderline" terrible


Nov. 23, 2007 | 9:58 AM LOLZILLA says:

Motorstorm is indeed a very good racing game.


Nov. 23, 2007 | 1:02 PM nuhvok01 says:

Your Mario Galaxy review was harsh. You should consider working for GameInformer. Im pretty sure you would get paid more working for them. Do you even get paid by NG?

Nov. 25, 2007 | 9:34 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

I SAID I LIKED THE GAME

P.S. GAME INFORMER IS A MEDIOCRE MAGAZINE


Nov. 23, 2007 | 2:10 PM RupeeClock says:

As if anyone plays a mario game for the story, unless it happens to be a RPG spinoff.
You have to admit, at least the co-op is better than watching someone play the game, but I'd hardly call it the solution to Mario's 2 player troubles.


Nov. 23, 2007 | 3:33 PM Goonie says:

Call of Duty 4 is pretty tight. You should do a parody of that if not Mario Galaxy. I wish I had the time to play some video games. :(


Nov. 23, 2007 | 10:18 PM privcaboose says:

your picture saddens me johnnyutah, because that chump *sniff* is me. : (

rofl.

Nov. 25, 2007 | 9:39 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

admitting it is the first step to recovery my young lad


Nov. 23, 2007 | 11:55 PM Nuke15 says:

In regards to your image there, I think it would benefit if you made it an open composition. You have no sense of depth and the figure ground relationship is awful.

...I'm in art school right now and I hate it :P.

Nov. 25, 2007 | 9:35 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

i know you're joshing around, but do yourself a favor and don't listen to your art teachers.


Nov. 24, 2007 | 11:16 AM Splurda says:

that guy above me must have never seen your site :o

Nov. 25, 2007 | 9:36 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

he's an alright fella


Nov. 24, 2007 | 12:48 PM ConAir says:

Uncharted's a sick game, I've played the demo about 10 times already and I'm debating whether or not to pick it up this weekend or wait til I finish Ratchet and Clank.

Nov. 25, 2007 | 9:37 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

i just got "doughnut drake" - the best unlockable in the entire game

Nov. 24, 2007 | 6:58 PM Wiiporter says:

Super Mario Galaxy: I swear to god, if it isn't available in the shops here come Christmas, someone will have to die.

...Is everything well in the office?


Nov. 25, 2007 | 3:19 AM X-Naut says:

I've seriously did nothing for ten minutes when I played SMG, solely for the music. Also, long jumping off of the edges of platforms is still a blast.


Nov. 25, 2007 | 3:22 AM X-Naut says:

Oh, and because you can shoot star bits at various crap, I consider Galaxy a third-person shooter.


Nov. 25, 2007 | 10:47 AM DasUberCow says:

nice summary of all game consoles and i praise you for the tankmen series. When are you going to make a tankmen game? like a flash game with some shooting but also like kl and stuff! :D

Nov. 25, 2007 | 9:38 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

you know if i ever did I'd want it to be 3d.


Nov. 26, 2007 | 2:25 PM Drink-squash says:

Nov. 27, 2007 | 3:55 PM test-object says:

"God of War: YOBETPWYOTBCPE"?
Well, that title sucks.

EEEEW. PS TRIPLE.


Nov. 28, 2007 | 3:37 PM TehreTard says:

You should get the PS3 version of Unreal Tournament III, then I can wipe my ass with you :D.

Nov. 28, 2007 | 3:38 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

not a fan of those games


Nov. 28, 2007 | 7:25 PM fearbefore23 says:

questions:
what ever happened to that one animation you did about the office? and the one that was about the pastor?
you're my favorite flash artist on here but i can't get over the fact that you never come out with anything.

yadda,yadda,yadda..

Nov. 28, 2007 | 7:40 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

are they not in rotation anymore?

anyways im working on it, i do have other responsibilites

Updated: Nov. 28, 2007, 7:40 PM

Nov. 28, 2007 | 7:26 PM fearbefore23 says:

and also.. do a halo flash plzplz

Nov. 28, 2007 | 7:41 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

i snapped my halo 3 disk in half

read between the lines


Nov. 28, 2007 | 7:55 PM fearbefore23 says:

you snapped it in half in a good way or a bad way?

and i don't see how that wouldn't allow you to make a flash.
unless like.. you broke it so it like splintered into your monitor and totally owned your computer. if so, then i'm sorry. so sorry.


Nov. 28, 2007 | 9:31 PM KupaMan says:

I have and have beaten both games you mentioned (and with Galaxy, by beaten I mean defeated Bowser and have 75 stars, working toward 120). Uncharted is a really fun game, but Chapter 21 almost ruined the game for me. I really didn't enjoy the change. The unlockables rule, though.

Nov. 29, 2007 | 8:05 AM JohnnyUtah responds:

do you mean the "twist" in the story? yeah...understandable


Nov. 28, 2007 | 11:34 PM peterf1 says:

Wait.."Office Wii"? Your job may not pay well, but it does have it's perks.


Nov. 29, 2007 | 12:50 AM FrozenFire says:

I have never heard of Drakes Fortune. I liked Gears of War so Perhaps I'll look into it. :)

Also, that picture of mario is fantastic. Thank you.


Nov. 29, 2007 | 4:03 AM Trinidex says:

I'm yet to play Mario Galaxy, because I'm buying it my brother for Christmas.

The two player option does seem a little crap, but we usually take alternating lives / levels anyway, at least now theres *something* to do rather than just watch. I always thought having an extra character controlled by player 2 would be interesting (i.e. Luigi), but it's too much of a change for Nintendo I guess. In any case I'm content with the idea, but I'm yet to try it out.


Nov. 29, 2007 | 7:27 AM HellishShadow666 says:

I got a ps3 and it's collecting dust :(


Nov. 29, 2007 | 4:18 PM KupaMan says:

Yeah, the twist. I said Chapter 21, but I went back and checked and I think it was actually Chapter 17-21. My bad.


Nov. 29, 2007 | 6:17 PM Smartdog says:

Overall, what next gen console is your mighty god? I've been trying to figure out what I find to play and look better, but what do you think?


Nov. 29, 2007 | 8:54 PM The-Yokai says:

PS3....I like the sound of that.
But I'm more of a fan of RTS games, and the RTS genre is HELL WITH PIMP BOOSTERS to play on a console, from my experience. So I'll stick with my PC for now.
...what I wouldn't give for a PS3 and a high-def tv, though....


Nov. 30, 2007 | 5:33 PM LtMcMuffin says:

A) Got a Wii. Only for Super Smash Brothers Brawl.
B) Wish I had a 360 or PS3, where all the amazing games are.
C) Computer gaming is the best. No other country is dedicated to a console or game like South Korea is to Starcraft.
D) Game Informer does suck, but saved me from Dementium.

That new sims game, what was it, Castaway?? Only it doesnt come out for windows till next yr, sux being a girl and not having any real gaming platforms...


Dec. 2, 2007 | 7:33 PM neoman5 says:

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks Uncharted is da shiznit. Everyone I know has never heard of it. Lovin' the humor!


Dec. 4, 2007 | 12:13 PM RabiesIsMe says:

Mario galaxy pwns. And I completely agree with your pic about it. Being a cursor is just friggin' lame. It's pretty handy to help the guy who's REALLY playing, though.


Dec. 4, 2007 | 7:35 PM Aeonstars says:

Beautiful layout, Mr.Utah :)


Dec. 12, 2007 | 7:53 PM jordan10la says:

Man, it was my cousins birthday this weekend. He got Galaxy (I need to wait for Christmas) and he was playing it, he wouldn't even let me be the pointless star. He said I made Mario jump too much. But I was bored. The game looks sweet though.


Jan. 4, 2008 | 5:00 PM ilandman11 says:

ps3 should go @#$# it self wooo for xbox360 plus ps3 is more expensive and has less good games


Jan. 23, 2008 | 3:22 AM Hyrus says:

I hate Mario Galaxy... ugh. I grew up watching the Mario cartoons and playing the first three games... Ever since Mario World the graphical style has been growing Mario's head and shrinking his body. Today, just about everything "Nintendo" is riddled with Anime culture, which (throws up hands in defense), is utter crap.

Mario Galaxy could have been Jimmy's Space Exploration Saga with the exact same gameplay with non-Mario characters and no one would be the wiser. Then the game would have gotten the 7.2 out of 10 it deserves. Tossing a mustache and red hat on the main character, just to pump up your ratings through fanboys, should be widely considered downright unethical when someone is getting a bonus to their salary over the ordeal.

Apparently its the best Mario game ever, even though it has nothing to do with what made the first game of the franchise such a tremendous success in the first place.

I tend to forget that there are generations of kids out there who didn't get to experience Classic Super Mario Bros. when it was THE top of the line in gaming entertainment. But such is being an old man, right?
