Normally I don’t link to Penny Arcade. Most people who care about video games at least check them occasionally. But today, I’m in a blogging mood and am in such agreement, I figured I’d say something.
Now, let me preface this by saying, I play a lot of video games. I’ve played a lot of video games. Given this, it’s not very often that a game grabs me in such a way that I literally want to be playing it all of the time.Darksiders is one such game. I bought this game along with Bayonetta, figuring that I’d alternate between the two. I’d been following the game, but the reviews made it seem like it would only be ok, and that I’d just be consumed by the need to play Bayonetta.
Gabe, Tycho, I’m right there with you. The game’s awesome.
I have stopped playing video games, not by a long shot. I just haven’t updated my gaming news in a while.

Now, I am highly conflicted. On one hand, I only kind of like Samurai Showdown, and I’m not sure I like the SF4 treatment this one has been given. On the other hand, I know my best friend, Pat, can’t resist Samurai Showdown and this will probably convince him to save up the cash to buy a 360. Which means I can finally play other games online with him.
Well, I clearly like fighting games as this would be #4 for the year.
I was originally not all that psyched about DJ Hero. After watching a few videos of the various mixes in the game, I was like, “ok, I’ll probably get it.” Then I saw the following:
This game has officially been upgraded to “Pre-ordered on Amazon”
Some of the tracks…a little weird, but some of them are just amazing. Personal favorites are “Icarus! the Angels Sing”, “Kraid, Rest Ye Merry Mother Brain”, and “Carol of the Belmonds.” It’s probably good I found this now as I will file it under Christmas music and not drive my friends nuts listening to this till next year.
