Snowboard Riot
– Craig threw a controller while playing (out of frustration)
– Has worst rubberband AI he has ever experienced in a racing game

LONPOS

– Deadly Creatures (later this week, probably Friday), Tenchu (tomorrow), House of the Dead: Overkill (Weds/Thurs) reviews coming – all surprisingly good games
– Tenchu looks really nice on Wii
– Final version of Deadly Creatures is very polished – sounds like they fixed many of the bugs

SOUTHPEAK UNVEILS X-BLADES, VELVET ASSASSIN, AND ROOGOO TITLES AT NEW YORK COMIC CON
Exclusive Demos, Trailers, Tournaments and More Planned
MIDLOTHIAN, VA – February 2, 2009 – SouthPeak Games today announced its plans for the New York Comic Con show on February 6-8, 2009. Located at Booth 1349, SouthPeak will display some of their upcoming 2009 titles with both hands-on demos and producer-led demonstrations, along with special trailers featuring never before seen game footage.
Several members from the anime-inspired X-Blades development team will be present, along with Melinda Cohen, the model and in-game voice talent for Violette Summer in Velvet Assassin. Ninjatown creator Shawn Smith will have a signing session on Saturday from 2-3pm. In addition to an early look at the sci-fi FPS Section 8, Comic Con will also mark the first time that the new Roogoo titles – Roogoo Twisted Towers for Wii™ and Roogoo Attack! for Nintendo DS™ – will be on public display. SouthPeak is also coordinating an X-Blades tournament at the show where players will compete to win a rare figurine of Ayumi, the heroine from the game.
Bob’s Game campaign taken to Nintendo World Store
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 2 Comments
The actions of Robert Pelloni, the creator of Bob’s Game, have been well-documented for the last few months. Sure, his behavior has been questionable, but he has not pulled a stunt like he did at the Nintendo World Store most recently. Robert and a few cohorts posted signs on the edifice and inside of the building, placed fake cases on shelves, and threw some business cards on the floor.
Robert was asked to leave a few times, but he claimed he simply wanted to purchase a DS and play his game. All of this comes on the 50th day of his apparently 100-day protest. This is, of course, not a smart way to persuade Nintendo to give in and supply Robert with a development kit. If anything, Bob’s Game has taken quite a few steps back in regards to arriving on the DS.
