Three Sixty Five

A year ago I began this adventure with you. A week in the spotlight and a nomination for Gamespotter of the Year has us looking at Bayonetta. The leader of the pack of games helping me keep warm this winter. Next shot is for the month of January.

Bayonetta

Developed by the makers of Devil May Cry and published by SEGA. When I saw the side by side picture of Sarah Palin & Bayonetta in one of the last issues of EGM, I was turned off. I thought the game was already released at the time so I figured I wasn't missing anything. Turns out it was coming this month. It's out now with positive reviews but I just can't do it.

Finding out this game is the next step for the creators of Devil May Cry also turned me off. I tried to get into the get in the series with Devil May Cry 3. Too late. The game starts with a boss fight that expects you to know what your doing. Next. Devil May Cry is about as interesting as Demon's Souls to watch someone else play. I'm not knocking the series. I know it's deeper than button mashing. It's just not my cup of tea.

If I played the first Devil May Cry, Bayonetta might be in my 360, but that ship sailed years ago (Unless PS2 classics show up on the PSP.) Bayonetta's also published by Sega which was the final straw in my decision to leave this game alone. Sega is notorious for releasing mediocre video games. Just look at Madworld and any Sonic game since 2001. Like I said earlier Bayonetta is getting positive reviews, and I'm probably missing out. I just can't do it. I might rent it whenever the next drought shows up.

Dark Void

This game is going to be wack. Capcom knew it when they postponed Super Street Fighter IV, Lost Planet 2, and Monster Hunter Tri from January to March. That way they could distance themselves from this disaster coming on Friday. What games get released on Friday's? Bad ones. Dark Void was supposed to be released last year, but the competition was too stiff. Capcom's only real competition is against the people who created Devil May Cry. A successful series published by Capcom. I couldn't think of a better way to make people forget about a bad game. Release it in the winter then drop hits in the Spring.

Mass Effect 2

This game makes me curious. I've decided to rent it. I bought the first one in 2007. I wasn't the biggest fan of RPG's. Pokemon will always have a soft spot in my heart. I hooked to Mario Galaxy and Assassin's Creed at the time so Mass Effect got neglected. It happens. My friend Branden at (Shout out to) The Gamer Report posted an article about how convincing the trailers were to Mass Effect 2. I was feeling the same way. Fight for the Lost Ladies & Gentlemen. Last January, I was introduced to an action RPG by the name of Fallout 3. That ish changed my life. I never realized how many hours you can put into a game before you realize you stink. If we don't last, at least it'll be pretty to look at.

No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle

The countdown begins. I can't wait to go back to Santa Destroy. Travis Touchdown is the most underrated characters for now. Just wait until he gets his hands on Paradise. That's right. My most anticipated game this month is a Wii game. I haven't played my Wii since Cursed Mountain back in August. That's the thing about my Wii I might not play it all the time, but when I do I put a good 20 - 30 hours into it. I love my Wii.

Happy Birthday Baby
