Gaming Gold Classics

Killer Instinct: SNES

http://youtube.com/watch?v=C_hM0kimMp0

Since I'm tired of God telling me I suck, I decided I'd start my own little column called Gaming
Gold Classics. The first game I decided to write about is one of my classic cult favorites Killer
Instinct. As far as I can remember, this was the first fighting game to utilize a quick hitting
massive combo system which can arguably be the sole reason behind games such as Devil
May Cry, the newer system in Mortal Kombat and God of War. Rare's bloody little fighter had
potential to be one of the main front runners against then fighting game power houses Street
Fighter and Mortal Kombat, but followed up by a lack luster sequels on the N64 (KI:2 or
KI:Gold) which failed to live up to the hype of the first game IMO.

There are rumors of KI:3 surfacing which had drawn my interests.. in 2006. But with no word
on the horizon of the 3rd installment, I'm kind of at peace with the face that TJ Combo's look
can't get any worse than the unholy hybrid of Mike Tyson and a one-eyed pirate

Why can't video game/movies be good?
BMaN32x | 12:09 PM on 02.28.2008 12 comments


Seriously Hollywood, step your game up and stop giving crappy directors the rights to make
crappy movies. Out of this list on Jim Sterling's blog of movies including but not limited to....

Alice, Alone in the Dark II, Area 51, Bloodrayne III, Castlevania, City of Heroes, Driver,
Everquest, Gears of War, Getting Up, God of War, Joust, Kane & Lynch, Max Payne, Metal
Gear Solid, Mortal Kombat Devastation, Onimusha, Postal, Prince of Persia, The Sims, Spy
Hunter, Street Fighter: Legend of Chun Li and World of Warcraft....

... are all set for a release by 2010. Really, SOME of these have potential to be good. I've
been waiting for a Metal Gear Solid movie for the longest time (Shadow Moses, no other
Raiden or Col "no homo" Volgin BS). God of War I actually heard is casting Djimon Hounsou
to play Kratos (see Blood Diamond, GREAT movie). Castlevania, Gears of War, Kane &
Lynch, Max Payne, MK, Onimusha (for goodness sake they used actors for the characters
already) and Prince of Persia I already figured were inevitable to why not spend a little
extra for good casting and an above average screen play? These movies have potential,
and personally, I think these do too:

Beyond Good & Evil, Metroid, Assassin's Creed SPOILER (WITH A FREAKING COMPLETE
ENDING!), Call of Duty or Socom: US Navy Seals (war movie, not that hard durr), Bioshock,
GTA: San Andreas (Samuel L. Jackson = Tenpenny) & Legend of Zelda (maybe, not as
strong as my others).

Why not, I know most game to movie adapts suck, but do they have to?
