Retro City Rampage takes the formula of the original Grand Theft Auto (a top-down view of open-world mayhem) and adds a few cues and homages from older games like Contra and TMNT (spread guns and underwater levels), all in a sprite’d and chiptune’d package.

I wish it were coming on something other than the Wii.

UPDATE: This tweet by the developers pretty much opens the doors for it to come to the PS3 soon enough. Noice! :D

Along with Ibuki, Makoto, and the earlier character announcements – Adon, Cody, Dee Jay, Guy, Juri, T. Hawk – that makes for a total of nine new World Warriors. Well, ten if you include Hakan, who hasn’t been confirmed yet, but everyone knows he exists already anyway. Add to that the fact that SFIV had 25 characters already (and all of them usable in one way or another – even Dan), this is shaping up to be a real battle royale.

I’ll say it now so it’s clear: while I enjoyed maining Balrog in SFIV, I will main Dudley in SSFIV, no matter how difficult he will be to use.

Game is slated to come out April 27, 2010.

Nope, I’m not excited at all.

UPDATE: Hakan’s been confirmed, so that’s ten new World Warriors.

The Bene Gesserit Litany against Fear

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

So I just finished Modern Warfare 2 last night, and I was totally blown away by everything – the gameplay, the action, the story and the music.

Kudos to Infinity Ward. Man, they really know how to make an epic experience.

Modern Warfare 2 for action game of the year – believe the hype!

This is one of the coolest things I’ve seen. See more at skinnycoder’s Flickr set.

Oh it’s on.

On a side note, I love how punishingly difficult 9 is. Yes, I know it’s months old, but true to it’s old-school aesthetic, it’s the kind of game you can go back to again and again.
