Wow. It’s been awhile since I blogged. Bet you thought I forgot about this site. Well, I haven’t. So, let’s get to it.
I’ve been playing a lot of Worms on my Playstation 3. Believe it or not, I only became aware of this series last year. I downloaded it from the Playstation Store and now I’m addicted. My buddy Andy and I have spent several late nights holy hand grenading the crap out of each other. I highly recommend it to those who aren’t familiar with it. You can read IGN’s review on the game here.- Another game getting a lot of play on the PS3 is Super Rub a Dub, even despite IGN’s horrible review of it. But what can I say? The ladies absolutely love moving those ducks around in the tub (a past time I’ll try transferring over to real life..). So, I think I’ll keep it. After all, gotta keep the ladies happy.
- One more video game-related bit and I’ll move on. I just became aware of the upcoming Legend of Zelda-inspired game, 3D Dot Game Heroes for Playstation 3. Holy crap. I want this game. The LoZ series are my favorite games of all time. And IGN really liked 3DGH, so I think it’s safe to say I’ll dig it too. Check out the trailer:
- ORIGINAL STAR WARS CHARACTERS TO RETURN POST-RETURN OF THE JEDI. Is this the new “comedy” series set in the Star Wars universe? (I seriously hope not) Or is it, as some have speculated, a new Clone Wars-style animated series following the adventures of our favorite characters? What about Sansweet referring to “not everyone who dies in sci-fi remains dead?” Could it be that a prequel-era character comes back to plague the original trilogy characters? Darth Maul? A Dooku clone? Asajj Ventress? Grievous? I’ve often thought something like that could happen in a post-ROTJ animated series, but who knows? There’s so much to speculate on and next to nothing has been revealed. Lucasfilm is going to have a lot of explaining to do at CV.
- Call me crazy, but I liked the Vin Diesel starring Riddick film series. Pitch Black and the animated Dark Fury were both great and The Chronicles of Riddick was decent (in a “stupid action flick” kind of way). So, of course the idea of another Riddick film (as has been rumored for years), is kind of exciting for me. Well, one was announced a few months back and now a script review has popped up for it (WARNING: there are spoilers there). Definitely sounds intriguing, and I look forward to hearing more on the project in the future.
Worms PS3 isn’t much of a game compared to Worms Armageddon. I spent one summer playing it pretty hardcore online, and it’s still a great party/LAN game, since it runs on every computer under the sun. It’s pretty cheap to buy, and though the game is now 13 years old, it’s still supported by Team17.
