Are Video Game Characters Getting Fat?
Neo Gio | 8:02 PM on 11.22.2009 5 comments




We look at the before and after, and find out that

our favorite characters are getting fat by the game!

Everybody loves Mario, but does Mario love himself? Is he watching his cholesterol? Why do you think we don’t see Yoshi has much? It’s because he doesn’t want to carry Mario’s fat ass anymore. Hey hey hey it’s fat Mario! Now give me that mushroom!

This is one of many examples of our favorite characters getting fat by the game. Here are some other characters who have ended in a similar fate.

Ryu:
In the 10 years that took Capcom to finally release a sequel to Third Strike, what do you think Ryu was doing in that period? Certainly not training, look at the before and after, and honestly tell me if he did not put a good 50 pounds on him. Out of all classic characters that came from the original Street Fighter 2, and Alpha series, Ryu definitely took the cake (literally) on the weight-gaining contest. In addition, do not let him fool you when he says that he prefers walking barefoot, he just cannot afford shoes anymore. And do not even get me started on Rufus.

Donkey Kong
Ever since Microsoft acquired Rare, we have not seen Donkey Kong has much; his not even a playable character in Mario Party anymore. So in order to recover from his state of depression, DK has been stuffing himself with his banana hoard back in DKC, now we know how we get so many banana peels in Mario Kart. Hell even on the picture DK looks like ”Hehe I really left myself go I’m so embarrassed” We can only hope that Nintendo does the right thing and put him down…on a good game.

Any other characters you think should be added on the list? Let me know, post a comment saying what you think.

Through the chaos that was the midnight launch of Modern Warfare 2. I was able to snag a God of War 3 DEMO. Since I already played the demo, I figure mind has well give it to someone who didn't yet. So how can you win a free demo?

Simple, head over to http://www.rewindreplay.com and simply post a comment why you should win the demo (You don't even have to register), just don't make it to long, make it clever or funny.

Winner will be announced November 22. And even if you don't win the demo you can still win a second best prize which is a picture package of Modern Warfare 2 for the PS3. So what you waiting for? Do it! It will please Kratos.

New Mario Bros Wii vs. Modern Warfare 2
Neo Gio | 3:21 AM on 11.08.2009 11 comments



At first when I heard this, I thought that my brains would explode from laughter. However, after I recovered some oxygen, I thought that he could be right.

Now you are probably thinking that I am crazy right. Well if you look at the numbers, there is still much more Nintendo Wii out there than any other console. Of course I don't expect everyone that have Wii to buy this game, but if you think about it, what’s the upcoming "good" titles for the Wii this holiday season? There is Lego Indiana Jones (If you like that kind of crap), Tony Hawk Ride (If you got a wallet full cash, and medical insurance), Resident Evil Dark Side Chronicles (If you like games where you can't move) and finally there's Modern Warfare Reflex (which I have no idea what it looks like).

Chances are that most people are going to be buying New Mario Bros for two reasons, first one being lack of good titles to spend money on, second being everybody fucking loves Mario (and Yoshi, but not you Luigi).

Therefore, if you think about it it is not impossible for NSMB to outsell MW2 on the PS3. However, it is not something I would put my money on. What do you think? Is it going to outsell? Is Reggie on drugs? Am I on drugs (Yes BTW).

If you missed GameTrailers TV, you can still watch it over at Gametrailers.
