After over a year of no site updates, Genetos finally gets a full release. I honestly don't even know how I got lucky finding this, I decided to check to see if the game was still up at around 1:30, and got luckier than I thought.

For those who don't know, Genetos is a freeware shmup, with the primary game element being the evolution of your ship and the enviorment through the various 'generations' of SHMUPS, starting with Space Invaders, going up to even Ikaruga-esque looks. It's really worth playing through, if only at least once. Plus, the game has an amazing soundtrack.

The game's english site, along with download, can be found here.

Also, before I forget, merry christmas to all of you. Hope you guys enjoy having to choose what to use tommorow's money on in March, I know I will.

Quick note: Sorry if this is already been posted on the C-Blogs, I just found it and didn't see it anywhere in the newest blogs at least.

Intro link is here:

From the '2 part' intro, to the cheeky fanservice scenes, this is really looking up to be a fun game, as well as funny.
First two videos are Part 1 SD and HD, second two are Part 2 SD and HD.

Thanks to FZeroRacer over at http://www.vidyavidya.net for the link. Really great community over there.

...but probably wont.

If this has been blogged already, just tell me, I'll hide this then.

Finally, there's a chance we may have an idea when this Mother 3 translation will be released.

As of their latest blog post, they are finishing up all of the testing, and putting the final polish onto the translation.

This is great news for those who not only want to play Mother 3 without having to refer to a GameFAQs guide, but to those who want another reason to play Mother 3.

Note: Rhythm game, Touhou and/or IOSYS haters beware.



I would say it seems like it could be a real freeware game, but it seems too good to be true.

After looking at some Samba De Amigo videos (and eventually jumping from rhythm game to rhythm game), I found this. It looks like a simple freeware video, but the reason I doubt it to be real, is because so far, it's the only video of it I've seen. Plus, something this different would have spread around the internet eventually.

So, after finally saving some money from work, I've decided to invest into a HDTV. Sad part is, I haven't researched very much. All I mostly know is that either a 32 or 37 will work in my room, and front cable ports are something I'd perfer. Besides that, I don't really know any good brands (besides the obvious Bravias and Samsungs all around). So, I come for help. Do any of you guys have any tips of what I should look for in a HDTV, primarily for gaming? Any good brands I should look into, stuff I should avoid, and any other good tidbits would be great.

P.S: I'm also looking for a easy way to record gameplay also. I've found something called the Dazzle, but I'm looking around a bit more before I pay 50 or 70+ dollars for one. From what I've seen though, it works.
