New this week.

June 14th, 2007 by xamount

So I’m out here in San Francisco at Apple’s WWDC this week. And while I’ve finally realized my life’s goal of seeing a live Stevenote, I have to admit: this stupid time-zone crap is seriously affecting my ability to hook up some late-night Twinkle Star Sprites Challenge! action. And just as I became completely obsessively addicted! What a brilliant game this is. A shmup with two-player puzzle game conventions? YES PLEASE. I didn’t even know I wanted a puzzle game/shmup mashup (mashmup?) until Twinkle Star Sprites.

As for this week, the radar must have been down, ’cause Pyschonauts made its way in!

  2. Penquin Says:

    Already have Psychonauts on XBox and Metal Slug Anthology on Wii, and I don’t like fighting games(Except Super Gem Fighters Minimix

  3. Penquin Says:

    Quit cutting off my comments stupid blog thingy! Maybe it has a problem with signs. To continue:

    ), so it’s a pretty boring week for me. Oh well, Trackmania United at noon on Steam, so I’m set.

    Metal Slug 3 is the only game that interests me this week. Although I see Project: Snowblind (a game I enjoyed but never bought) and Rogue Trooper (a game I never got around to playing) are coming up, which is cool.

    I dig all the SNK love, but what about some Sega CD goodness. Eternal Champions: Darkside is a sweet fighting game, and Sonic CD - ’nuff said.

    Play Psychonauts now. Stop reading this. Go! Now!

  7. Penquin Says:

    No, you should have bought it when it came out. Or go buy it on Steam or through Gametap now. I want a sequel, I already beat it, but just playing it free on GameTap Gold won’t get us any closer to one.

  8. oldbushie Says:

    Gametap keeps forcing me to redownload Psychonauts every time I exit the game, I have no clue why. :/

  9. oldbushie Says:

    Never mind, I just checked the forums only to find out it’s a problem in general… gonna be a pain to redownload my games over and over, I hope the glitch is fixed soon… I checked my downloaded list and it seems almsot all of my games have been spontaneously deleted, I’m just thankful it doesn’t delete save games.

    “I for one welcome our new Zerg Overlords.”

    LOL!

    Guess I read too much Slashdot.

    Out of curiosity, did you guys do a piece on Starcraft 2 just for the heck of it, or is something in the works with Blizzard?

  11. buster42 Says:

    I’d assume it’s because Starcraft 2 is such a big announcement. :P

  12. Penquin Says:

    Yeah, it’s not every day South Korea’s national sport gets a sequel.

  13. Barry Says:

    No kidding. They have to wait a decade for their game, but we get a new Madden foisted on us every year. :p

  14. Slack3r78 Says:

    Wow, I *finally* got a copy of Psychonauts like 2 weeks ago. Figures. ;)

    Great game, go play it now if you haven’t already.

  15. Penquin Says:

    But Barry, I said sequel, not remake.

  16. Starcraft 2 Says:

    Gamers gamers gamers…..

    Starcraft 2 is going to blow everything out of the water! I’ve been gearing up and conditioning for its release.

    Until then though, psychonauts will hold me over.
