  Playstation Allstars Battle Royale Vs. Super Smash Brothers Brawl

  I can honestly say that Playstation Allstars Battle Royale will be another poor mans version of brawl. Im sure anyone reading this will probably scroll down and say "A Nintendo fanboy that doesnt like a playstation game big surprise. Before you flame me Id like you to know that I have been watching the game closely and I was actually excited about this even thinking about buying a PS3 to play it. But over time I started to notice a problem that the developers hadnt noticed with the new combat system. Smash Brothers is a game about weakening the other players and diving in to the crowd to do a Smash move on the player with the most damage but Playstation Allstars is about earning AP by attacking the other players. This gives a huge advantage to characters such as Colonel Radec and Nathen Drake who can earn AP from almost anywhere in the arena because of long range attacks. Its also safe to say that when Radec or Drake have enough AP for a super theyll want to make that super count by getting as many kills as possible off one super by using it at a time when the other three are close to gather. So not only do Radec and Drake earn AP more easily but their ability to avoid being killed is better because they dont have to get in the crowd to earn AP unlike most of the melee characters that make up most of the roster. Ive only seen two matches with Radec and Drake were they were playing but didnt win. In one Radec never used his special. The other was because most of the players were too dumb not to get out of BigDaddys way allowing BigDaddy to earn all kinds of AP. To be fair Brawl is also very unbalanced but do you want to play a game like Allstars were the best strategy is to avoid charging into a crowd to get that kill.

  Resident Evil Revelations

  Ive been hooked on the Resident Evil Revelations Demo for the past few days and I have to ask who out their is encouraging these dumb easy to solve puzzles. After killing the first monster in the game my progress is stopped by one of the most easy puzzles Ive ever had to solve. A three by three sliding puzzle that involves putting for donut shaped thing over lights to open a door. It isnt challenging enough to feel rewording so it fails from a game play stands and any rational person should know that real electrical panels dont work that way so it fails from an atmosphere stands as well but these puzzles keep finding their way in to Resident Evil games. I remember watching someone playing Resident Evil 2 asking me for help solving a puzzle involving the value of Jack Queen and King in a deck of cards to solve a puzzle requiring him to light candle fixtures in a certain order and it was in a police station. In Resident Evil 4 I remember having to solve another 3x3 slide puzzle by moving eight plates to make a picture to open a door. Who is asking for these puzzles.

  Spike game responds to angry review

  Ever sense James Rolf created the Angry Nintendo Nerd the Internet has been hit with a flood of people trying to mimic the popularity of the Angry Nintendo Nerd. One of these people is Noah Antwiler of www.spoonyexperiment.comof recently reviewed the Deadliest Warriors game by Spike games. This is nothing unusually because parody reviewers make their money by reviewing bad games. What is unusually is Spike games themselves actually decided to wasts their time responding to him. Spike games responded with.

  Spike: Thanks folks, we know the game is not perfect and are working to fix things in the TU. These kinds of reviews from people that don't really give the game more than a glancing look are discouraging but the feedback on these forums helps us as developers see what real gamers think about the game.In other words they agree with Noah when he said the game is broken and to the point that they are trying to make an update to fix it.

  Spike: It was discouraging that nowhere in the review was mentioned the price point, the dodging, stamina or parry systems but oh well… you can't please everybody.

  The price of the game was ten dollars. So Spike games is saying that they made a bad game and decided to make up for it by charging ten dollars. Spoony also made a follow-up video in response saying thatthe dodging or parry system that he couldnt get to work had almost no impact on the out come of the fight.

  Spike: The fact that DW is even in the same sentence as Tekken, SF, MK is good enough for us.

  Spoony compared Deadliest Warriors to the more mainstream one on one fighting games or the alternatives to Deadliest Warriors as most reviewers do. Spike games is being smog whilesaying you consider our game to be the same genre as Tekken Street fighter and Mortel Kombat.

  Spike: Even if they are only comparing them to tear the game apart.

  Now Spike games is saying how dare you compare our bad game to much better games of the same genre.

  Spike: If we had 20 million dollars and two years to build a game I wonder what that would be like?

  HereSpike games is saying we dont have to money to compete with other games of the genre and again being smog about it.

  Spike: Oh we can dream… When you pay for milk and expect honey you're going to end up with milk and be pissed about it. It's not our fault that you are delusional.

  Again Spike games is admitting they made a bad game and decided to charge ten dollars for it but spin doctoring it to say how dear you compare our bad game tobetter games of the same genre.

  Spike: I'd love it if someone on this board made a comment on spoony that shed some light on what this game is all about.

  Now Spike games isopenly encouraging encouraging their fans to flame Noah on his own website.

  Spike: But thanks again for your support! cheers, Spike Games.

  Again Spike game is being smog.

  To be honest Im amazed I expect a game company wouldnt want to say their game is bad but they tracked down some who basically makes his money by insulting bad games and movies in a humorous way and left a comment saying "Yeah we made a bad game but we only charged ten dollars for it. We werent trying to compete with the other more expensive games of the same genre and how dare you compare it to them knowing it would make our game look bad." Theytook time from their work toadmite they made a bad game and are blaming someone who makes money by reviewing bad games for saying its bad.
