N+ Devs Get a D- in Logic 101

March 27th, 2008 Adam "TheBooya" Boyes

I was reading the recent blog post from the N+ developers Metanet regarding how on XBLA ‘Now there’s like a hundred games, and they’re all $&*%.’ and it got me a bit pissed. No, not because they hate Rocketmen (others do too), but more because I think they’re wrong - not about their opinion, but more about their solution.

From independent music to independent movies to independent games, the same theme runs through them all – Only a very small percentage of them are any good. Most of them (to use the Metanet dev team’s phrase) “are utter $&*%.” The Metanet guys even mentioned in their interview that when you go to GameHippo, only one out of every thousand games is good. So their solution to the ‘problem’ of XBLA is to open up and allow thousands of $&*%%y games to be put on XBLA without any oversight from anyone? Huh? How does that solve anything?

killer7 still making top 10 lists in 2007!

December 4th, 2007 Seth Killian

Well, okay, it’s Detroit prosecutor Kym Worthy’s list of the Top 10 violent video games for 2007.

According to our sales figures, it seems… “unlikely” that anyone at her offices has actually *played* killer7, but it’s true that the name does suggest a lot of mind-warping killification. And as any top scientician will tell you, once the kids get a taste of playing as a geriatric, wheelchair-bound assassin, they’ll all be out there trying to assassinate their friends in cheap homemade wheelchairs and fake old guy beards.

If you’re feeling rebellious, you can pick up killer7 HERE, directly from us, your friendly local purveyors of eeeeeevil. Muhahaha.

Thanks to Kotaku.
