When most people think of the month of October, the first things that comes to their heads is most likely Halloween. That time near the end of the month where people dress up, have parties, get drunk or go on sweet raids (age dependant of course) but if you were to ask a gamer in London what the month of October meant to them, you would probably get a different answer.
The first No More Heroes was a Nintendo Wii game I fell in love with. The protagonist was funny, awkward and weirdly relatable in a tale to defeat the greatest assassins in Santa Destroy in the hopes of getting laid with his beam katana that could only be charged by shaking it in a manner reminiscent of a teenager’s favourite pastime.

There are only so many ways you can make a racing game. You have the arcade racers, like Mario kart and burnout; and then you have the more ‘realistic’ titles such as Gran Truismo. Blur seems to be taking a little from both. Well, more like half Mario kart half and half GT. You have a range of popular car models with their particular strengths and weaknesses battling it out on a track, but with power ups not dissimilar to [...]
Sin and Punishment 2 is an odd one for most. A sequel to a cult game for the hardcore N64 fans that never saw release in the UK (though was recently released for the Wii’s Virtual Console), it’s suprising that Nintendo were advertising and showing this off at the Expo.
The first Super Mario Galaxy game stands as my all time favourite Wii game, and my second favourite game of all time. The game was beautiful and nearly perfect in every way. It controlled amazingly. It showed amazing creativity. It looked beautiful. It played beautifully. The story, while minimal, gave way to a much bigger understanding of everything and a touching ending if you cared to explore it and become invested in what happened. It was a well-balanced difficulty, with [...]

First impressions Well its been three days since the MCM expo now and I think its due time for my first expo related post.

With a crowd over 40,000 strong it was surprising that we were able to battle through the crowds to get our hands on what the game section had to offer, however with true drive and dedication we fought on [...]
MarkBOSS was armed with his camera at this mays MCM Expo and this is what he filmed.
I have been a huge fan of beat ‘em up games. Ever since Streets Of Rage on the Sega Megadrive, I have always had a soft spot for games were you progress through the level by beating the seven shades of crazy out of your enemies with your bare fists, or whatever weapons you happen to find lying around. I am also a big fan of manga and anime. Weather it be a Death Note, Bleach, Cowboy Bebop, you name [...]
