Shit, that looks awesome

I followed the link on there to a comparison of Okami on the PS2 versus the Wii. Couldn’t see a TON of difference between the two, other than the PS2 version looking more washed-out. (Which wasn’t graphical, but a deliberate choice on the part of the gamemakers.) Towards the end, running what I guess was one of the final cutscenes in side-by-side comparison, I couldn’t even see the line between the two sides, there was effectively no difference.

(Thought it was funny how all the tards were buying the Gamecube’s “hardware superiority” over the PS2. Yes, if you look at the sets of numbers side-by-side, some of those numbers on the Gamecube are higher than the ones on the PS2, but that doesn’t equal a more powerful machine.)

As to the Iron Man game… looks a little too twitch-gaming for my tastes, not usually into that. But I might try and dig up some time to download the demo from Playstation Online (AT NO MONTHLY CHARGE MUAHAHAHAAhem) and give it a try, because it does indeed look pretty neat.

Just as long as one of the missions isn’t “You’ve gotten an exaggerated sense of your own superiority! Mission objective: Crush freedom, set a ton of supervillains on the superheroes that are supposed to be your friends, and get the man you’ve called ‘best friend’ for decades killed!”

I don’t need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin’ soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain’t that fresh
And I don’t need your civil war

It’s hard to rectify the Stark I grew up reading with the one in Civil War.  I think I need to go back before that and read a few years of IM to see if it was as out-of-character as it felt.

Great mega-story though, even with all the problems a 200-issue crossover brings.

Yeah, you never get to criticize CSI: Miami again, dude.

OK.  Not “great” but maybe “praise worthy in scope and ambition?”

And some of the writing was good.  Just not most of the long-winded speechifying that Cap and IM expositioned all over the place like so much masturbatory emission…

New Spider-man game coming out in the fall too.  Based on the comic books and not the movies.

Looks a bit interesting and ambitious. Can’t be worse than spider-man 3 for the wii though. 

Definitely enjoying the non-linearity games though.  Just finished Assassin’s Creed on PC.  And while it does get a bit repetitive, I couldn’t imagine it on console for the fact that the pc added 4 more information gathering sub-missions.  There is something incredibly cool about lunging at the executioner and stabbing him right as he is in mid swing.
