Just saw a review for a new PS3 game on Gamespot. It's called Conan! And boy 'o boy it is just like the comics we got when we were kids. Blood spewing all over the place!
Yeah, I was just looking at that yesterday too... 'cept a different site from Gamespot. Made me think of Gary Kwapisz's art. Also made me want to break out an issue of the old Savage Sword and read some.
Here's a longer video of the "LittleBigPlanet" that was briefly shown in the above video... looks cool too, especially since it sounds like it has a construction set that you can build levels and share them.
No, Sony Home isn't a Sims take-off, because you don't have to get your avatar up at 1am to get dressed in the morning, eat breakfast, clean up, poop, and shower, in time to catch your ride to work at 9am. It's just a virtual representation of you to interact with other virtual people and invite them to lose badly to you at some game.
I never really got the whole thing with Sims.. if I wanted to live life and not be a video-game playing loser, why would I play a video game about living life? I poop on my own and work on my own... there is no need for me to play a gme where I'm doing the same thing.. its like in Grand Theft Auto San Andreas.. I DO work out in my REAL life but why oh why would I want to do it in a video game? I do it so I ACTUALLY am healthy in this life, or healthier than my fat a** gets if I don't, but by no means do I want to do it.. so why would I want to workout in a stupid video game? I want to have the guy who can run around and beat the mess outta 50 people without flinching or losing his breathe.. thats part of the fntasy of playing the game, isn't it?
Heh heh.. yah definately not the type of game for me.. but go check out the new thread I started "Fun (or lame) online games".. nothing great like WoW but sometimes you come across a game you feel is worth sharing...
