That thing in Kiwami 2 that puts the sidestories on the map is such a godsend. More than once (last night, for instance) I've started playing with every intention of continuing the main story...but I end up just running from one substory on the map to the next lol.
Stage Select: Leon's Theme (Castlevania: Lament of Innocence)
I first heard this song on the Castlevania series OST sampler that came as a preorder bonus with Portrait of Ruin. It is a great juxtaposition of classical stylings with modern beats, and since I would listen to that CD while driving, well, it definitely fits the bill for Stage Select.
Cage Match: My gut reaction is definitely to go with Gradius, since destroying malevolent creatures in space is what the Vic Viper is all about. But the sheer organization and relentless onslaught of the Space Invaders has me questioning my choice. I guess I'll go with my gut and keep my fingers crossed.
I want to get Gato Roboto. I love the cat theme.
I'm looking forward to Astral Chain next month.
Did you ever play TimeSplitters Future Perfect? Definitely the best in the series, especially when playing co-op. As for Bloodstained, it is perfectly playable. Graphics definitely took a noticeable hit though. Everything looks like it's not textured enough.
There is so much side content. I can't imagine trying to finish it all O_O
There's gonna be a Gears of War tactical game? That could be really cool.
I played all the way through this game. It is surprisingly good! Did you ever play Legend of Kage 2? That was another good ninja game on the DS but it was a more traditional 2D action game.
Yeah, both of those games are mysteries in the gameplay department but they're coming from solid developers, so I'm hopeful. Seeing that Keanu bit reminded me that he's a genuinely nice person. One of the things I've always liked about Deus Ex is that if you bugger the stealth, you can still generally get by with just blowing everything up lol. I've never managed to do one of those nonlethal playthroughs...
Bahaha! Just looking through the headlines is great!
