mr stompy wants to play


What cool game related merchandise do you own? i picked this little chap up at Game(tm) yesterday while trying to blow a gift voucher i had, i suspect they're trying to shift all the pre-order stuff they had laying around.

micro review: X-Blades
That shop is still to goddamn expensive, i mean, inFAMOUS for £42.95?? they're having a laugh i say! The title i did find (on clearance £20) after much wandering was 'X-Blades' i know, i know, but you can't always trust reviewers now can you? "Ayumi is a dumbed down airhead heroine, in a title that's simple and easy to play; it's hack-and-slash all the way. From that view point, X-Blades wholly fulfils its raison d'etre." It reminds me very much of Heavenly Sword, in fact they're pretty much a like except X-B is done in a manga style and HS is all cgi cut scenes, if you're not to bothered about a deep plot and just want to run about jiggling your girl bits at the enemy before hacking them down it'll suit. You get your basic hack hack hack attack and gun blade ranged attack but you can also buy skills with souls and assign them to one of four slots, there seems to be much you can do in this respect. If you're the sort of person who considered buying Bikini Zombie Slayers, you'll like Ayumis' antics. It also runs at 1080p!
