Today’s Game One-liners

A line a piece about game news today from e3:

  • DJ Hero: Note to Activision – don’t reuse the Guitar Hero crowd cheer sound / crowd animations… people don’t cheer at clubs.
  • APB: White Dodge Rams, piercings and tattoos oh MY.  Seriously, yes pls
  • Shadow Complex: Interesting perspective – here’s hoping Card’s second foray into games is better received
  • SWTOR: Those voice overs better be subtitled and skippable
  • Splinter Cell Conviction: Realism is getting impressive.  Dark Grey is the new Bright Brown
  • Natal: oizys – basically microsoft is claiming to have solved mocap and voice recognition perfectly,  zug – yeah they just threw enough money at it so now it works perfectly
  • Natal: dickscanning device (bet you didn’t think about THAT yet)
  • Bayonetta: Really pretty accompaniment to pressing X, X, X, Triangle, X, X, Triangle
  • Tatsunoko vs Capcom: This will get me back into Capcom fighters… but I will probably only ever play Casshern
  • Mini Ninjas: Exploration ftw
  • Tales of Monkey Island: Yes!
  • Front Mission Evolved: Moar, and gameplay please.
  • Many many other games: Oh look it’s another multiplayer first person shooter shooter / racing game sequel
  • Everything else: I’m really impressed at how good the game industry has become at making non-interactive movies – now get back to work
  • Video Sites: Remember/cookie my goddamn age!!
