The City of Metronome

How is everyone? Good, I hope.

There's been a lot of hype for this PC game called "The City of Metronome." First unveiled at E3 2005, the game combines a beautiful art style similar to American McGee's Alice (an awesome game, but extremely trippy) with innovative gameplay where sound is your guide.

From the website: "In the game, you take on the role of a young train conductor. You get to venture into the city of Metronome, a sprawling mass of haphazardly built houses and huge steam engines where the outlandish inhabitants are carrying out their chores day and night. A city where the life of every citizen is dictated by the Corporation, a single bureaucratic entity that owns all the land, the entire infrastructure and all the industries.

It looks extremely fresh and creative. I'm loving the visuals. I can't wait until its release. Just giving you a heads-up on it.

In other news, I have yet to give you my impression on the Wii and the games I have gotten my paws on. It's coming soon. I'm so sorry! I've been swamped with homework. ;_; It's horrible. But I'm graduating this year so I can't complain.

Voting for Miss Video Game 2007

...is something no one should do. What a waste of time.

DABR! Back from Temporary Hiatus

Hello, all! I apologize for the reprieve in entries. I've been gone most of the holiday season, visiting family and shopping. Now that my Christmas break's drawing to a close, I have much to share with you all.

In the coming weeks I will cover my impression of the Nintendo Wii and the newest games I have obtained.

Also I will give an overview of the newest releases I am most looking forward to in 2007. As always, thank you for coming and thank you for the wonderful comments and encouragement! It warms my heart to see that people actually read what I have to say. I know it's been a little while. But don't worry. There's new stuff coming soon.

Thanks for reading and have a safe and happy New Year. 2006 has been a hell of a party.

New Brute Video

It's a rumor, it's coming from a totally unknown source, so yes, of course I'm going to print it.

Supposedly, on December 20 a new Halo 3 video will be hitting the Xbox 360's Live Marketplace.

The 7-minute video will, according to the story, dig more into the Brutes, showing their skills, origins and some behind the scenes stuff about how they are being made for the game. The video will also include about 2 1/2 minutes of gameplay footage. The story also says that the video will "unveil" that Brutes are playable. Something we already knew. Maybe he means they will be playable in single player as well.

I'd take this rumbling as just that, at least until we can squeeze some more information out of Microsoft.

SPANISH VIDYA GAEMZ

I decided that I might want to start posting in English and Spanish to brush up on my Spanish. Please comment if you think this would be a good idea. =D Sra. Weinrich is nodding her head. I'm only posting this because she asked me to.

(I really couldn't give a damn.)

And as always, thanks for visiting my fledgling blog.

Newest Miss Video Game Atrocities

Because I am a firm believer in the fair and just, I want a REAL gamer to win the Miss Video Game contest, er...pageant. So here I will be showcasing the bimbos who seem to be whoring themselves for a trip to the beach. It embarrasses me and appalls me but...hope it entertains you.

"Raychul"

"Anya"

"Federica"

If you take the time to read these girls' profiles, it becomes painfully obvious that MVG is sadly just a beauty pageant. Too bad there's no way to contact these ignorant masses and spread the gospel that is INTELLIGENCE. Ne?

Twilight Princess, FFVXIII, etc.

Yesterday this fabled entry to the Zelda series was FINALLY released after the longest wait for the GameCube. I'm going to pick up a copy as soon as I possibly can. When I get it, I'll give you my first impression, seeing as I am without a Wii. Damn the people who have one. Damn them.

In other news, it has come to my attention that there is a new trailer for Final Fantasy Versus XIII. It looks...shall we say, interesting? Oh, Square Enix...I wish I had the pockets that you guys do.



And finally, I just wanted to add in as a side note that the "Final Sin" chapter of Trauma Center: Under The Knife is a real bitch. I finished the entire game before but I tried to finish it again today. The result? Sweaty, sore palms and trembling hands. Yeah. If you don't believe me try it yourself, buddy.
It may be a DS game but it's a damn challenging one at that. I had to give it back to my buddy Kevin. =/ I miss it...but I DID have it for over a year.

Cheers!
