Jason and Kathrine talk a bit about their experiences with Monster Hunter 3.
Kathrine: I'm actually kind of nervous about this, I'm not too good at thinking on my feet...
Real combat, plastic men.
Now this game brings me back. A childhood friend of mine bought this game when it was available in stores, and he loved it. I wasn't really into it myself, but I still played the multiplayer with him and his brother, because they refused to play anything else if I didn't.
The little plastic toys take to the skies... er, more like ten inches off the ground.
This is one I got for I think $3 when GameStop was liquidating their stock of older games. It's a helicopter shooting game with a top-down perspective involving toy soldiers, and it takes place in real-world environments that are larger than life for the little guys. You take control of a helicopter from the Green Army and are at war with the supposedly evil Tan and Blue forces; there doesn't seem to be much of an explanation as to why these toys can't just get along, which almost makes it seem like the game has some sort of subtle social commentary. Almost. Let's not go there.
No, not the cookie, those are called 'Macaroons.'
Armorines is a first-person shooter that runs on a modified game engine that was originally used for Turok: Dinosaur Hunter. It isn't as polished or interesting as the game from which it borrows its engine, but it is more focused on action than exploration. I didn't really catch the details of the story as I couldn't be bothered, but it has to do with a lone soldier taking on an army of alien bugs because everyone else is either too incompetent or too lazy to take action. Whichever one sounds more realistic.
You wouldn't like Mailbag when he's angry...
The last time the Mailbag was this angry, I'm pretty sure he killed an entire species. Ever wonder what actually happened to the dodo bird?
Ubisoft serves up a double fault.
Hooray for dirt cheap sports games I found in the depths of a bargain bin! I've not played this before now, as I'm not big on Tennis and so Mario Tennis is plenty for me.
Hey now, you're an All-Star, get your game on, go play!
Cheap sports games I got for a buck each at a game store, I own these for collection purposes since I'm not a fan of baseball. Obviously I haven't played these before, and I don't see much point in spending much time with all three. I popped in '99 and 2000 to see what they looked like and what kind of options they had, and then I played a quick game in the 2001 edition.
Even though the game releases today, Luke can't wait for the game to be delivered to his house.
Ever since it's reveal, I've been impatiently waiting for the Wii release of Monster Hunter Tri. I've always adored the Monster Hunter series due to the co-operative nature of the game. There's nothing greater that taking down the biggest foes in the game with your friends. This allowed you to develop various strategies, as aimlessly mashing the attack button to annihilate everything was not a valid strategy. You have to know how to exploit enemies weaknesses, when to dodge, and when to retreat and recover when you're badly hurt. Finally, I've enjoyed the scavenger aspects where you have to hunt monsters in order to harvest components to make a variety of things, from simple potions and food, to more complex things such as armor and weapons.
