Get your ass to PAX! No More Heroes 2 playable at PAX 2009 photo

I'm so frickin' jealous of all of you that will be at PAX 2009 this weekend. Unfortunately, one of my stupid friends decided to get stupid-married and I'll be at his stupid-wedding in NYC next Saturday, when instead I should be living out my dream of being one of the first to play No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle.

The original game is one of my all time favorites. It works as both a mindless beat 'em up, a deep analysis of the modern American gamer, and a laugh-out-loud comedy all at once. Still, the title had its flaws, though none that couldn't have been fixed with a little extra time and money. Looks like NMH:DS has benefited from more of both. The game looks a lot prettier, and promises to play a lot better than the original did... and I wont be playing it this weekend because two stupid people are in "love".

Well, at least I have you, Dtoid. Will you guys play it for me and Cblog about your time with the game? After my nearly two years of playing videogames on your behalf at events like E3 and Comic Con, it's the least you can do for me.

Thanks in advance.

Wait, you're not coming to PAX?
I wanted to give you a hug for being one of my favorite bloggers as well as recognizing the the strengths and weaknesses of the wii in an intelligent manner.

Funny, I'm playing the first one as I type this (Rank 2!!).

Now I understand the love for this game.

@ The CleaningGuy- Awwwww, you're awesome. If you come to PAX Boston, I'd be pleased as punch if you could make it to my post-PAX after party.

@ Danmartigan- YES IT IS ONE!

Man I wish I could go to PAX now. Its been too long since my last katana-wank. Desparate Struggle will probably be the first game I pick up next year. Come to think of it, I should buy the first one, my first playthrough was on a friends copy.
@Los255: Wait till you face the final boss; your mind will be blown.

Wow, I definitely didn't expect it to be playable so early. Guess what game I'm playing first at PAX.

I just finished it. Mind = Blown.

I couldn't help but smile when Silvia said "Too bad there won't be a sequel"

@Holmes:
PAX West is right in my backyard, so it's easy to attend, but I'll see what I can do about PAX Boston :)
