Pure White Lover Bizarre Jelly 5 makes me feel very, very awkward
Wow. I mean, I know Suda51 is out there and the first half-hour or so of No More Heroes 2 was crammed with plenty of tit shots, but this is just... wow. I'm dumbstruck. It seems like it's hentai for pedophiles. Seriously, what the funk?!
At least the Pure White Lover Bizarre Jelly 5 shmup is fun.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii review for Joystiq
My latest review for the best gaming blog around just went live. Here's an excerpt of my thoughts on New Super Mario Bros. Wii:
New Super Mario Bros. Wii isn't a game for you to play by yourself. Sure, you could, but it's just not going to be the best way to extract all of the fun the experience has to offer. Instead, you really should try to corral some friends together for multiplayer, which is guaranteed to do one of two things: strengthen the bonds you and your three partners in platforming have established, or take those friendships you've worked so hard on over an indeterminate amount of time and stomp them like a lost, lonely Goomba.
Head on over to Joystiq to read the full thing.
A Boy and His Blob review for Joystiq
My review for A Boy and His Blob (I always type "blog" first, then have to erase it) has gone live at Joystiq. Here's an excerpt:
A Boy and His Blob tells the story of an extra-terrestrial, amorphous lifeform and his young handler as they combat an evil emperor, hellbent on doing what all evil emperors want to do: kill most and rule over what's left. The only thing standing in this extreme evildoer's way is the boy's willingness to feed the Blob different jellybeans, which cause him -- it? -- to transform into different shapes, thereby overcoming the game's many obstacles.

Video walkthrough of the new Nintendo Channel on Wii
Today, the Nintendo Channel on the Wii updated, adding a bunch of new features. I did a little walkthrough video (nothing special) for Joystiq and figured I should probably dump it over here, too. So, that's what I'm doing. What, you wanna fight about it?
Punch-Out!! review for Joystiq
I wrote a review for the new Punch-Out!! on Wii, which you can read right here. It even includes a video I put together, showing me take on Piston Hondo (yeah, I know, the change is dumb), Aran Ryan, and Soda Popinski. In short: It's fun, but the same old Punch-Out!! you've been playing your whole life.
