The Left 4 Dead Commercial

Definitely next up for me after I beat the Banjo games. Won't get it next week however in which I'll wait for next month. Since the major game sites now have the game so far enjoying it, looks like it might be another contender for GOTY.

Here's the perfect game for kids...

Okay, Star Wars: The Clone Wars Lightsaber Duels is out for Wii for now and here's the long version of the commercial that fits the demographic of kids and Star Wars fans. If there was a Wii game I would buy this holiday season (not Wii Music or Animal Crossing: City Folk, out on Sunday), it might be this one just for the laughs and see little cousins, nephews, and nieces have fun with it. Of course, I don't think it is a good game at all, but it will sell for a Wii game this holiday. Plus, people that buy this game might as well also buy the third-party lightsaber attachment, which I saw at GameStop when I was getting Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts today (which I'm currently enjoying - Rare's humor and references to their previous days and other games is top notch). Sure, that thing might be silly, but might as well make the lightsaber experience a little more accurate.

Off-topic stuff...

• The XBLA version of Banjo-Kazooie is pretty good so far despite some slowdown. I can't believe I still remember this game 10 years ago especially the first two worlds.
• The intro for Nuts & Bolts is pretty awesome - my favorite moment so far.
• Gears 2 review maybe tomorrow.
• I'm currently watching Ninja Warrior 21 on G4 now (Yes, this show is awesome and it is a set of new episodes).

Quick Impressions of the Mirror's Edge Remixes

I still want to get Mirror's Edge (likely next month with Left 4 Dead) as I'm still on the fence. I loved the demo and the fact the core gameplay concept worked, but I might as well rent it since it is a short game.

Anyway, I downloaded the soundtrack of remixes for the theme song "Still Alive" and I enjoyed listening to them. Of course, you have to like the original song and that is good enough, but some of the remixes are pretty good too. My personal favorite is the Junkie XL Remix and I'm also a fan of that artist too, but the Armand Van Helden Remix (featured in the launch trailer above, Teddybears Mix featured in the IGN montage below) is a close second right now.

One More Console Exclusive Character in SF IV

I guess Capcom has one more console exclusive character to reveal (as if Dan, Cammy, Fei Long, and Gen are enough) according to the Shoryuken forums. Another Alpha character will join the roster of 25 which is Rose. So now we're at five ladies, which is good enough, but of course fans still want 3rd Strike characters and I can't blame them. With so many console exclusive characters, I think they need to be added in the arcade versions eventually via a code update (like Akuma and Gouken). Of course, this is not really official yet by Capcom themselves, but it seems likely now.

Oooooo... I Can't Believe It - A Remix

So the biggest hit song of the season has a remix that features Justin Timberlake and it is not that bad. Of course, it depends whether or not you dig the original song even though you probably heard it a lot too.

SSFIIT HD Remix Hype Thickens...

A new combo video surfaced yesterday for SSFIIT HD Remix and it looks done hopefully out on Wednesday or next Wednesday. I will definitely play more characters in this one considered how improved they are in the tier list. For those wishing this will be 10 bucks or cheaper, keep wishing because it will be 15 bucks or maybe even 20 bucks with all that content in (even the original ST is still in).

So How Can You Be So Heartless??

By not watching Kanye West's new video for "Heartless" off his 808's & Heartbreak album. He has done it again delivering another awesome video with its unique style.
