Noby Noby Boy, am I the only one that see’s past your lies?
It seems like everyone and their mothers are eating up Playstion 3’s latest DLC release Noby Noby Boy and rightfully so because it is a very unique game. However unique does not equal fun and I am not having fun with this title. Here is the video review and below the video is a quick paragraph review.
Noby Noby Boy Video Review from Stefan Stignei on Vimeo.
Now I like weird games with simple controls, artistic graphics, and a different concept but I also like having some sort of objective and Noby doesn’t have one. It’s a sandbox title where the player controls BOY who is able to stretch, jump around, fly in the air, eat things up , and just interact with everything else in the world without any sort of reward. I like to know that when I invest my time into something there is some sort of outcome be it getting a new item, moving on to the next more difficult ending, or just plain getting bigger. As a man, I need an pleasurable closure.
Top 3 DLC games that should go multiplatform
Everyone always looks at what exclusive AAA title their favorite consoles have and then go crazy when an exclusive game is announced as a cross platform. This doesn’t bother me at all and I wish more games went multi platform but some limitations such as disc storage, controller functinallity, and just plain old past contracts prevent this. What I don’t understand is why developers choose to release their DLC only games on just one console. Below are the top 3 DLC games, one from each console that should be cross platform.
Braid
XBOX360

One of the most beautiful looking platformer/puzzle games across all systems. This game is more about trying to figure out how to get past a level by using Tim’s (the protagonist) powers rather than timing a jump Read More

Pros:
Great looking visuals
Sixaxis controls are spot on
Unique gameplay and atmosphere
Soothing
Cons:
Only one speed for the wind and once you build up momentum it’s hard to control
Mega Man 9 too hard :(
So I’ve been playing Mega Man 9 for the past few weeks and just can’t seem to get a good handle on it. I’m not sure if it’s my old age but I just never remembered any of the Mega Man’s being so hard. The way that the levels are designed it’s almost like they know when you are going to jump and have an enemy come out of nowhere to knock you to your doom.
At first I accepted this challenge but now I’m just finding myself going to easier modern day games where you can’t lose. Maybe once I have kids I’ll have them beat Mega Man 9 for me so I can brag to everyone that I did it.
Chu Chu Rocket Please!
Chu Chu Rocket was one of the most intense and best multiplayer games that came out in the last 10 years. I don’t think I could hate anyone more than a chump who placed his arrow in order to steal my mice!
If you’ve never played this game your basically trying to get mice to go to your space ship while avoiding cats and pitfalls. This is done by placing arrows that either go up, down, left, or right and it may sound simple but once you have 3 other people who trying to do the same thing it gets very intense and competitive.
I’m just surprised that Sega hasn’t put this out on VC, PSN, Live, or my favorite Steam service. I’d easily drop 10 bucks for this game (especially if it was on steam and I could use a mouse). Hopefully a release comes out sooner rather than later but until then I’m leaving everyone with this:
My long hiatus is over
Well I’m back for good now and hlpe to be updating this page on a daily basis. If there is no dlc news for that day then you will just be forced to read my nonsensical sentances. Sure you can look away or go to back to your site of choice hopefully it has something to do with video games but I don’t judge.
Anyways my next big post will be comparing the different places you can get dlc from.
I want DLC for MGS4 Now!
I’m not talking about the multiplayer content, in fact don’t even get me started on the multiplayer dlc for MGS4 or even the multiplayer infrastructure. What I want is single player episodic content coming my way every 6 months, no scratch that I want it every 6 freaking weeks, heck I would love to play MGS1, 2, and 3 over again with the new engine :). Sadly I know this will never happen.
Top 5 Overpriced Downloadable Content
Every now and then publishers get greedy and find ways to nickel and dime customers with dlc. Below is my top 5 list for the content which should have been in a different price range.
5. Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness
Price: $19.99, should have been $9.99
I’m a huge fan of Penny Arcade’s comic strip and forum (I usually just lurk around hehehehe. . . WAHAHAHAHAHHAHA . . . sorry about that I got a bit carried away) but to launch their PA episodic Read More
LostWinds Review
Game: LostWinds
System: WiiWare
Publisher: Frontier
Players: 2
Cost: 1000 Wii Points
ESRB Rating: E
Similar Games: Metroid, Zelda, Mario, Okami, Kirby
You are Toku, a small, village boy, and Enril, spirit of the wind. Together you set off on a short, 4-hour adventure to free the idyllic Mistralis from the curse of Balazar. The gameplay is all puzzle-based, 2D platforming, with a world map that flows from deep caves to high waterfall, Metroid-style. A feeling of calm pervades LostWinds. Its spare soundtrack evokes a natural beauty that complements its clean, simple visuals of feudal Mistralis (Japan).
