Yeah, we’re all back at work. Yeah, it’s a bummer. But no worries, we’re making the transition back into real life as easy as possible for you. We’ve got a first look at the amazing, 8-Bit style sandbox game Retro City Rampage, and some great new free indie games to keep you ‘busy’ now that you’re back in the rat race.
RADAR: First Look – Retro City Rampage
Gamers and pop culture geeks have a brand of humor all their own. A catalog of information and references that goes back their whole lives. A lot of games try to trade on that to add entertainment value – but not many do it without feeling like they’re pandering. Still fewer can do it and be incredibly fun to play. Retro City Rampage, the upcoming WiiWare and XBLA title from Vblank is one of those games.
RCR is a parody of sandbox games, most notably Grand Theft Auto. You play as… well.. The Player, a henchman working his way up through the ranks of the video game world of Theftropolis in 1988.

[...] can find it in Episode 110. If you want to skip right to it (and don’t, because Retro City Rampage looks so freaking [...]
ok ok ok who else kinda got turned on when she said she whips guys? Damn that was hot. I also to record my reaction to that haha.
Well i got mostly home appliances, maybe like 4 games that i wanted.
I asked for Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, SW the force unleashed 2, Halo reach (Yay!), and DBZ tenkaichi tag team.
Halo is like….hard……
But what i’ve been playing is pokemon, well not really played it, i’m transferring all my pokemon into one game so i’m prepared for when White and Black come out.
They have these new shiny pokemon at Gamestop during janurary and february. So yesterday i went to gamestop and sat in the parking lot obtaining myself 3 shiny raikous for my diamond, heartgold, and soulsilver games of pokemon. Now i need to go back twice to get shiny entei and suicune. My mom is going to be wondering what the hell i am doing. But i am a damn pokemon collecter!!!!! I GOTTA CATCH THEM ALL!!!
Ok but on a side note. So far i really like the new golden sun. The gameplay reminds me a lot like Final fantasy 3/4 for the DS with the style of fighting. You collect djinn for your three characters. Which makes them stronger. At first it was confusing on how to use them but now i understand it more.
But guess what, the main characters name is MATTHEW!!! thats my name! ha, my name as the main character is like finding a gold piece of shit in your toilet.
Can I like this anthony better then the troll you act like? ;)
They are one and the same – they are but two of the many facets of the radiant gem that is my personality.
Just like the last episode of Twin Peaks: “One and the same.”

I forgot one game i did get. It was kingdom hearts birth by sleep.
As you can see, i didn’t open them yet except for golden sun and halo. I play one game at a time.
Having camera problems, darn it. I’m actually going to reformat my machine to fix them… well, that and it’s time for a reformat.
I already know what I’m going to vote for.suteF has me stuck and I really should give Ninja Senki more of a chance, but Cat Astro Phi blew me away and as soon as I get my camera working I’ll tell you more about why. And I’ll go over my Christmas loot.

In which I express my total and absolute devotion to Minecraft:

And I thought it looked lame at first. Psh. This is my feedback response by the way.
So good hearing you go off on Minecraft. Such a good game. And, yeah, I’m playing a ton of it myself. Started playing multiplayer and I don’t know if I can go back.
Oh, wait, there’s no nether in multi yet. I guess I can go back to see if he hid the new useful blocks in the nether. Probably not. more like pumpkins.
So the new update is out and I can’t WAIT to go home and play it. I’m dieing, but I know that by tonight the new features will be documented, so I can actually try them out. Oh, and pictures work in multiplayer. Gonna deck out my place.
Yeah! The update is so sweet!! I’m loving the dispensers, but I need more redstone. And is it me or are mincarts really wonky in multiplayer? I’m trying to make a monster/animal trapping kit that uses the minecart to hit pressure plates and set off dispensers filled with arrows. as it goes in circles, but I can’t get the track to go where I want it too. The track just lays perpendicular to the track next to it.
Baby Punchers are screwed.

And yay on your mention of Song of Fire and Ice series. Waiting on the next one for years.

Don’t see an edit button for my last post and can’t record with yalls cam so there’s my video link. Thanks.
“Fetus rewind”… yeah that works.
I need to watch a play through of that game I guess. I’m stuck on C level F. haven’t played it since.

That guy did a Lets Play, divided by chapters. I had to watch a level in C too, one of those parts that you smack yoursel for not seeing but is hard as hell till ya do.

First time using the new video comment system, took me a minute to figure out how to stop recording and publish.
My holiday games were Infinity Blade, Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit (iOS) and Nelson Tethers: Puzzle Agent. Currently playing chapter 13 of Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective and it is siiiiiiiiiiiiick!
Synopsis:
o FIRF – Cat Astro Phi. I go off on that for, then my reasons why suteF and Ninja Senki are not my vote.
o Been playing Minecraft Multiplayer and some new levels for ASCIIpOrtal.
The volume control on the video playback is a little broken.

Okay, my turn, hope this works.

I missed a v, oops.

Glad to see a lot of comments this week.
I also didn’t mention this but Castlevania Harmony of Despair came out with a Chapter 8 which is a underground water level with Legion as the boss.
Chapter 9, 10, and 11 will come out this year sometime at the end of January
Chapter 9 is a SOTN level with the boss called beezelbub or something idk what the fuck it is.
This is the interesting one, chapter 10 is a 8 – bit level of Castlevania. The boss being 8 – bit dracula. This is going to be very interesting, i’ll see if i can post some videos of it on here to show you all what it looks like.
Right now they have shit load of new items to grab. Simon’s cloak for all my whip wielders, Jonathan, Richter, and Julius. Legion soul for soma. only have 3 right now and need to collect 9. And Globus spell for shanoa which just fucks shit up.
Can’t wait for chapter 10 though.
