Ah, I think I know who you're talking about now.
We only got as far as the little complex where we have to kill the weird crab-spider-thingy on the big elevator platform.

Only in video games. . .

Actually, I've never had any LSD.
So is that how game programmers get their inspiration?

Actually, I heard that Atari game programmers would smoke dope.
That explains many of those games.

Those of you who have PS3s need to download Rag Doll Kung Fu. It's amazing. You can build your own kung fu fighter out of plastic doll parts and fight up to four people at a time. You can also throw fish into baskets and hurl magical blue balls at your enemies. It is rad.

I use the same name on PS3 as I do here if you want to add me to your friends list. The PS3 is awesome. ps3 games, ps2 games, DVD and Blu-Ray. Its wonderful.
My wife got the Wii for our anniversary. I've decided I hate it. The controls are awful. The graphics are primitive and seem to give me a headache. But shes excited to have Wii fit, so as long as shes happy I guess that's what counts. . . . . .

I'll add you soon. Watch for silencekit (an alternative to my name here).
I got the Wolverine game this weekend and it's pretty awesome. All you do is run around cutting badguys up with your claws. Unlike the movies, it's very bloody and gross with lots of decapitations and dismemberings and pummelings. Not for the kids unless the kids are awesome.
I'm also playing through Bioshock again. This time I'm playing the evil path (I played through the good pathway when I beat it on Xbox 360 a while ago). I still can't believe how amazing this game is. I'm eagerly anticipating the sequel.
I haven't posted an update on the video game thread lately. So here goes:
Xbox 360ers...If you haven't played Shadow Complex, the downloadable game from Xbox Live, you really need to. It's a side scrolling-action game with lots of secret rooms and cool weapon upgrades. I read that it's based on some Orson Scott Card mythology, but since I don't read his stuff, I know little about it. The game is really fun. It's refreshing to see these side-scrolling games on the market again (like Bionic Commando Rearmed).
If you like First Person Shooters and westerns, check out Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood. There's nothing better than shooting bandits with a Colt rifle while riding horseback through a canyon. The game follows the story of two brothers (both are playable characters on nearly every level) who desert from the Confederate army and end up mixed up in a search for lost Aztec gold. It's violent, decently acted, and really fun.
The most recent game I finished (last night, in fact) is Batman: Arkham Asylum. This is the best game I've played this year. The level of detail in the characters and the environment is amazing. You spend a lot of time exploring the island and its buildings (including the prison, mansion, medical facility, sewers, and caves). The game combines stealth elements (you have to sneak up on armed foes) and brawling and a bit of detective work. There are challenge rooms that help you develop your skills and attempt high scores that really add to the replay value of the game. If you haven't played this, I highly recommend it.
Is anyone else playing anything cool? Let's hear about it.
I've been back on the old 360 the last couple of days playing Halo 3: ODST. It's a prequel of some sort, I don't know, I don't follow the incomprehensible story of Master Chief, but you don't play as Master Chief, you play as a few different ODST soldiers and ODST stands for Orbital Drop Shock Trooper which is totally dumb. The controls and gameplay are very similar to the other Halo games except for one great addition: the X button activates your visor which allows you to see in the dark and puts outlines around important objects including friends (green) and enemies (red). The effect is similar to detective mode in Batman: Arkham Asylum. The reload button has been moved to the right bumper just like in Gears of War. I haven't played online yet, and probably won't for a while because I suck and I get killed a lot, which isn't very fun. I like fun.
I haven't been playing my PS3, but my kids have. I got them them Ultimate Alliance 2.
They loved the first one, and have been loving the second one. They only get it on weekends due to school.I pre-ordered the game, but the codes for the Juggernaught were all gone by the time I went online to get them. Really lame on the Gamestops part. You do get to play as the Hulk though.
