My 5 best games of 2008
I've been thinking long and hard about what my 5 favorite games for 2008 are. I knew what my favorite game was immediately, and one other game guaranteed itself a spot on the list, but what about the other 3? It's tough to pick, considering just how many games released. But, I'm glad to say that I've finally narrowed my list down to 5 games. Here they are.
Too much Nintendo news to compute
Ugh. I'm pretty tired, having stayed up to around 4am last night for Japanese Nintendo news and getting up to blog the crap out of American Nintendo news today. If you want to know about the new DSi, as well as some of Nintendo's new games, then check out DS Fanboy and Wii Fanboy for the details.
When advertising goes right
I try as hard as I can to tune out advertising most of the time, but when it's shoved into your face 24/7 (especially more so in recent years, if you work on the internet, like me), it's hard to dodge it. Chris presented me with this most awesome bit of advertising this morning. How can you hate such an ad?
Dead Rising on Wii = LOL
Okay, first of all, there isn't any AI with the Hitman character models and they're repeated a HELL of a lot more than in Dead Rising (I love Hitman, played through them all and enjoyed the level here, so I know what the deal is), but this is still funny. When my colleague Chris brought it up in the work chat, I found it to be quite comical. Comical enough to post here, I guess.
