I have a rabid love for all things Platinum Games. Their latest outing, Bayonetta, is one of my favorite games this gen. So it’s no surprise when a game by the name of Vanquish hit the scene, I was as happy as a little school girl.

Until now, we’ve only been treated to still screen shots. Gametrailers just released the world premiere trailer of Vanquish in action. And wow, just wow. It looks to give the 3rd person shooter a good kick in the pants. Jetpacks, sliding on the ground into back flip kicks, shooting in slow-mo, thousands of missiles, and action galore make for a tasty mix. Just as Platinum Games perfected the 3rd person action game, I’m betting they’ll perfect the 3rd person shooter game. We’ll see when it’s released for the PS3 and 360 later this year. Until then, enjoy the mayhem.

…but this remake of her song “Telephone” by a little duo called Pomplamoose does not.

Again proving the rule that Ninjas + anything = ultimate combination.

P.S. PatrickBoivin has some amazing stop motion videos and has been a favorite video creator of mine for some time now. Check out his YouTube page for more goodness.

I couldn’t have said it better myself. So I won’t. As always, you rock GoodieBag.

This was a fact I was not aware of until just recently. I never really thought about it, but after seeing this compelling evidence, it’s hard to deny it. Maybe it’s an East Coast vs. West Coast thing. Maybe a culture clash. Possibly the fact that L.A. doesn’t have as many dead bodies floating in the water. Who knows. Watch and see for yourself.

Thanks to Goodie Bag for the video

As you may have heard, Hideo Kojima’s Policenauts received a English fan translation in April of this year. Although I am a part of RetroWare TV, it in no way colors my judgement towards their newest video series covering this coveted and highly regarded game. This three part series covers many aspects of the game’s creation, storyline, and much more. Part one has just been released exclusively on RetroWare TV’s website. As an avid fan of Kojima’s work, I am excited to see this game not only being translated, but also the proper attention and coverage it deserves. Even in part one, you can see a lot of care and detail went into this retrospective. I would highly recommend you check it out.

I personally have not had the chance to play the game, but rest assured, as soon as I’m able to, I’ll be right in the middle of it all. For now, this will wet my appetite until I can fully savor the awesomesauce that is Policenauts.
