Hey I'm back+Viva la Leipzig!
Tyrian3 | 1:42 PM on 08.22.2008 0 comments


Hi all, I just wanted to tell you that I'm back and I'll be writing new posts very soon. Sorry for the absence, which was due to personal stuff that took my time 100%, plus in the middle of August it's just normal to be more lazy than usual he he!
Luckily we got some very interesting stuff when it comes down to gaming, with lots of goodness from the Leipzig Game Convention: first of all I'm very happy that the German convention is growing and is becoming a more and more important spot on the gamers'radar, especially now that E3 is basically less than the shadow of the awesomeness festival it was just some years ago. It's great to see a European event growing this much, plus I really like Germany, the people is hard-working and nice and if there's someone able to pull off a great gaming event it's them and they're showing it to everyone.

About the stuff that got announced or detailed, it's nice to see that the Wii still has some "hardcore" stuff coming, despite we all feared hardcore to be doomed on Nintendo platforms after their poor (to say the least) E3. Oh, by the way, Nintendo itself told us they were disappointed by their own show...it's a bit odd because they are the ones who chose what to talk about on stage and everything but hey, at least they seem to have realized what's going on. It would've been terrible if they had declared to be satisfied with their past E3.
Anyway this whole "hardkorez are teh d00med on Nint3nd0!1!ELEVEN!!" thing reminds me of the other "Nint3nd0 iz teh d00med" thing back in the Gamecube era and I think it'll end pretty much the same way.

As for the games, Madworld looks better and better. I'm usually not a fan of violence, at least not of violence for its own sake, and the gore in Madworld is so over the top and detached from the real world perspective that not only are ok with me but look incredibly funny, with that black and white, comic-like style.
Sega and Headstrong (formerly named Kuju, the guys who developed the "meh" battallion wars) are giving us another reason to hate and kill zombies with House of the Dead: Overkill.
If you haven't seen the trailer, go watch it now! That b-movie athmosphere really made me smile and even if lightgun-like games aren't exactly my cup of tea it's definitely something to keep an eye on.
Finally I wanted to name a newly announced game named Cursed Mountain...despite being apparently not to far in development the concept looks amazing and if the developers put some good effort into this project we might get a creepy, deep and fun adventure game on our white little box named Wii.

Before I go I want to spend a quick word about the supposedly real and supposedly leaked "footage" of the supposedly not-vaporware Sadness by the Polish supposedly-developers Nibris: guys, the gaming world doesn't take you seriously and you can't blame them (me included I think). When someone needs to use so many time the word "supposedly" in a sentence referring to you it means you did something wrong. At this point show your cards, either demonstrate once and for all you are a real developer working on a real game or just tell us it was all a big joke and we'll laugh together and forget about the incindent.

I'm out now, see you tomorrow with the third part of the "games I'd like to see pull a megaman 9" articles. I'm really enjoying writing those and I'm glad to see you like reading them too.

Ciao!

 about me

Hi there, I'm Tyrian3 from Italy and I'll write whatever comes to my mind about gaming. I'm a 25 year old guy, gamer since I was 5: I'm mainly a Nintendo games lover but I always look to every game with the same passion, then just play what best suits my gaming needs. I hope to offer you a different point of view, since I consider myself an experienced gamer with unusual tastes: I love Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil as well as Pokemon and Nintendogs. Is this strange? I don't know, but I hope you'll find my posts interesting. Thanks for reading and please comment my posts! Constructive criticism is always welcome! Friends are even more welcome :) PS: If all goes well I'll make my blog less ugly...have patience :P

Consoles owned: NES,SNES,PS2,N64,GBA,NDS,PSP,NGC,X360,Wii.

Favourite games of all time: Super Mario World, Super Mario Bros 3, Zelda ALttP, Resident Evil 4, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Metal Gear Solid, Command&Conquer Red Alert-Tiberian Sun, Civilization 2-Civilization 3, Phoenix Wright AA: Trials and Tribulations,Winning Eleven 6 Final Evolution, Metroid Prime,Quake, Tyrian, Grand Theft Auto (yes, the very first one, before you could do hookers and then kill them).

What I don't like: Halo, Gears of War, Final Fantasy X-2 (list will be updated)
