Season's Beatings Redemption: Photos

Season's Beatings 2010: Team USA vs. The World

The event just ended. Literally minutes ago and I've been hard at work uploading photos. Expect a more formal wrap up tomorrow of the event [sorry, I'm incredibly exhausted]. What you should know is that Team USA beat Team 'The World' in an incredibly close match 13 to 12. Yipes beat Chris Schmidt in a Marvel vs. Capcom 2 exhibition as well as the official Marvel vs. Capcom 2 tournament. Daigo was eliminated earlier than expected in the Super Street Fighter IV by Andre. Gamerbee ended up winning in the grand finals against Momochi, so the Super Street Fighter IV character tier is kinda wide open. Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, Super Street Fighter II, Guilty Gear XX Accent Core, Blaz Blue: TS and more -- were all played, I'll try to gather as many results as possible.

In the mean time. Be sure to check out the photos here! Season's Beatings Photos!

Batman Is Awesome, But Until Recently His Games Sucked.

Apologies for the over-saturation of Joystiq clips [I promise they don't own stock in me or anything like that], but they do good work.  Props to Xav for posting this up. 

Batman games have always sucked. Yes, even that catastrophe most of you guys hold dear to your childhood soles thanks to the NES.  Batman Arkham Asylum was released this week and word is...it's kinda nice.  I haven't played it, but I am a huge "Animated Series" fan so its money that's already gone from my account [I just gotta find time to play the damn thing].

Check out this clip of the storied history of the awesomeness of the caped crusader and the troubling woes of the awful games that were released only to besmirch his game in the video game realm.

For more on the sucky Batman video games...check out Xav's "Batman Retrospective" [it really is quite good].

Shadow Of The Colossus 25 Years Ago...

From Kotaku:

"...it probably wouldn't have been that good. One of the other entries from The Independent Gaming Source's Demakes contest is this Shadow of the Colossus throwback. One can make the argument that graphics don't matter, but unless you're moved emotionally by parallax scrolling, some of the "oomph" when Team ICO's game gets ported to the TRS-80 Model III. Like the Portal demake Super 3D Portals 6, this one's freely playable."

Currently Playing: Beyond Good & Evil PS2

This Is A Slide From The 'Current Gen' BGE...I'm Psyched!

Seeing as I just purchased a PS2 last year I'm throughly playing through all the games I missed.  At times its a chore [especially with Deus Ex], but with this game I have to say its been such a breeze.  After I get off of work I pop in the disc do a mission or two, or sometimes I'll race or play a quick sidequest.  I'm about halfway through and I really don't want it to end. Considering I've been very busy with my various jobs it has taken me about a month to make it this far. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

After the jump yet another cosplayer...
