Today's gaming setup belongs to the one and only atheistium. She has quite the collection of games, toys, and stickers all over her room. It's kind of funny seeing all of her consoles so cramped up on her desk. You need more room, atheistium! Check out her blog for more pictures of her setup. Hit the jump for the Community Highlights, as always. Some of the more interesting community stuff from this past week includes evil chad still being alive, the next Educate Yourself is going down, Dtoid Cincinnati is going to have an epic party, plans for an Australian NARP are underway and much more all after the jump.

I can see why Nex enjoyed posting the Games of the Week feature when he was in charge of it, because it's essentially a tiny little soapbox upon which you can peddle any kind of crap you like. Since nobody even spends time reading it, eager as they are to post a reply telling us what they've been playing this week, I can essentially get away with cheap and tactless plugs for other Web sites. Which is what I am going to do. Morphine Nation is the Web site I used to own before I was hired by Destructoid. Essentially a social satire site, I'd write general commentary and comedy articles, and post comics about what an arsehole Skeletor is. Anyway, the site relaunched in blog format this year after I retired (since Destructoid took up all my time). They post some pretty nutty stuff, and I occasionally contribute -- check out my "Uncle Cheeky" series if you never want to sleep again. A friend of mine called Brad Rychard has launched a Web site for his comic series Cane/Hat Man, which is all about a man with a hat and a cane who likes to stab people. The premise is rather silly, as are the comics, but there is some inspired stuff in there. Not for everyone, but worth a look. Hit the jump to see what we've playing (clue: there's a lot of theft in our games, some of it grand and involving automobiles).

Ashley Davis: Lots of online Mario Kart Wii matches. Popped in Tetris Attack so I could restrain myself from purchasing Pokemon Puzzle League.
Oh, and that one thing everyone else is playing, that too. more

[Editor's note: ZombiePlatypus gets May's Monthly Musing finally kicked off. For this "If you love it, change it", ZombiePlatypus takes a look at the Rampage series. -- CTZ] I’ve always liked the Rampage series. Be it in the arcades or staying up all night with the NES version back in the day, Rampage has been an addiction of mine. I have a good time wrecking identical buildings over and over again for hours, so sue me. I bought the first two Midway Arcade Treasure collections pretty much just for the Rampage games. I still get a kick out of the mindless fun out of the older games. The thing is the series hasn’t evolved at all. No matter how many sequels come out, it’s still pretty much the same game that it was a couple decades ago, just with more monsters. That being the case, I haven’t felt the need to buy any of the recent Rampages, not when the classics are readily available. I have some ideas that could fix that though. Hit the jump for my thoughts.

Droll: At some point, though, isn't the best Rampage sequel ever made Radical Entertainment's 2005 Hulk: Ultimate Destruction?
That was a game where you could destory buildings, fight humans, and cause ... more

I think the real story here is that we haven't posted the tantalizing new screenshots of Rare's Banjo-Threeie sooner. Still, better late than never, and if you're one of the ... one ... gamers that haven't seen these two lovely images yet, this post is for you! My sources in Rare are very excited about Banjo-Threeie and are pretty much saying that this is going to put the British studio back on the map. While Rare's pedigree has fallen in the eyes of gamers over the years, it is believed that this one is going to remove all doubts that the developer is a duke of platforming fun. I've also heard it sh*ts all over Mario 64. As with Mirror's Edge, it's truly exhilarating to see bright colors and some original art direction in a game. Threeie looks like it's bursting at the seams with character, and that's something we could stand to enjoy a lot more of in this current generation. Of course, looks aren't everything, and we'll have to see if the gameplay can match the visuals. I've heard wonderful things though, and have a good feeling about it. Time, like an Austrian daughter, will tell in the end. |
