For those that missed it, this game rocked the socks off of the gaming community. A big hit for anyone waiting for a kick-ass Batman game. The good news is Warner Brothers planned ahead… a sequel will be out sooner than we could have hoped for.

City Weekly‘s own Gavin Sheehan got an opportunity to sit down and talk to Brandon Dayton, the creator behind one of the most talked about Utah comic book series of 2009, Green Monk. The two go in-depth about the book as well as Dayton’s careers and his thoughts on comics.

Green Monk on Gavin’s Underground

Gavin: How did the idea for Green Monk come to mind?

Brandon: Like most ideas, it started with bits and pieces of cool images that started to form together over the years. I liked the idea of blade of grass as a sword. I remember reading a Native American folk tale when I was kid about a hero that uses a leaf as blade to cut a villain’s throat. That might have planted the seed. The thing that tied it all together though, was seeing Tarkovsky’s “Andrei Rublyev”. It’s one of the greatest films ever made, and its vision of Medieval Russia just totally electrified me. I knew that’s where I wanted to Green Monk to take place. Visually, Green Monk is all Andrei Rublyev, with the exception of some of the fantastical elements.

Gavin: More national, what are your thoughts on the comics industry today?

Brandon: I think there is a lot of growth to be had. Just look at the demographics. It’s adult males. Young males aren’t targeted like they could be comics aren’t even close to touching female audiences in a significant way. There’s so much potential, and it just require someone who figures out the right way to do it. There have been some attempts. Marvel published comic versions of Pride & Prejudice, but my wife and I were unanimous that is was pretty crummy. I’d like to see some of the stigma of comics to change, for more people to see that’s its just a medium. It would be great if there were more people willing to venture out and open new markets with comics. I think it probably has to happen with the younger generation.

Nintendo announced all the video games they will be releasing at the beginning of  next year. It’s a pretty intense list, notable entrees Mega Man 10,and scene it: Twilight!

After the long wait, (even longer because I went to a store that doesn’t sell it until a day after it came out.) I popped my brand new Legend of Zelda cartridge in, and watched the opening sequence. Fiddled with the controls a bit, and my first impression is the writing in the game is wonderful, and it has very similar game play to The Phantom Hourglass. (If that comes as a surprise to you, you’re a putz.) Why fix something that isn’t broken?

Although I must say, I am a bigger fan of the classic controlled Zelda games, especially the first one. There’s just something about killing a room full of blue knights that makes me feel the game actually requires skill. Which I think lacks in most video games today. Even when something is ridiculously hard it is usually a matter of luck more than ability now. (That’s all I have to say about new video games, I promise.)

I do wish that Spirit Tracks did have options for controls without the stylus, as I’m a lazy gamer, and sometimes the stylus feels like work. But I must admit the controls aren’t nearly as awkward as you would think for almost total control with a pen. And at times controlling two characters.

The intro is really good, but at the same time a bit long. You’re looking at over an hour until you get the sword on your first play through. The reasoning for this is understandable in a way, they were just teaching you how to do everything you haven’t done before. So you learn how to ride the train, and how to control secondary people with your stylus etc. before you get the sword. And as stated, the story line, while taking a lot of time, is really fun.

Some of the new features are amazing, for example the spirit flute in this game responds to blowing in the mic, making you feel like you are actually playing the instrument, and it is done really well. And while I liked Phantom Hourglass, I wish that the spirit tower in this game tried to vary from its formula in a more direct way. Because it makes it feel at times as if you are playing the same game, (Even while controlling a phantom of your own.) I must say though having spirit Zelda with you improves the game immensely, just because her and Link’s chemistry is so entertaining.

My number one worry about the game was that the train wasn’t going to be entertaining. As the ship in Wind Waker, was fun, but over used. The train is fun, and it can be tense at moments with some close calls, which is good. The problem is how frustrating it is when you fall on the wrong side of a close call and have to take a 5 minute train ride from the beginning again. All in all, since they give you the cannon really early, it has at least as many pros as it does cons. For all intents and purposes it might as well be a boat.

The save system is the same as any other modern Zelda title in the series, meaning you can save at just about any time, and it might kick you to the first room in a dungeon now and again. Which I think works well for a hand held system.

I can’t speak for everyone else, but my favorite part of Zelda games are the dungeons, and the puzzles in them. Basically in this game there are two types of dungeons, similar to Phantom Hourglass. In this one there are temple dungeons, and then the Spirit tower dungeons. Which I think offers a good contrast, at times I think there is too much running around between dungeons, but the track system actually keeps you pretty focused.

They have some new puzzles in the game that will keep you on your toes, especially with how easy it is to forget that sometimes you have to blow into the microphone (keeping in mind you had to blow in the microphone in Phantom Hourglass as well). They took away some of the hallmarks from the Zelda games that I generally like to see, but they kept the important ones, and I’m happy to admit it felt like a Zelda game.

The final thing I have to say about this title at this point, (As I am only half way through.) Is that I am proud to announce some good bosses. The last few Zelda games apparently forgot they give you fairies and potions, and therefore compensated so you never had to use one. I can only hope for the rest of the game, but I have had to use a few of them so far.

I plan on either updating this post in a few days after I’ve finished, or else write a new Review. In either case, look for it!

Buy your copy on Amazon, it’s worth it!

Update: Mild Spoilers ahead!

Well, I’ve now been through the game, and I thought I would share a little bit more, because now I know the game in and out like a woman.

First I’ll start by saying, by the end of the game I was a little sick of the train. I don’t think I would be sick of it if I stuck just to going to where I was supposed to, but when you add in a ton of side quests, it gets pretty redundant. Although they do compensate by making the tracks a little easier for you after you’ve past them, but then why not just let you skip them all together? (The teleport system they implemented wasn’t very useful.)

Next I would like to say, that I liked the dungeons, but some of them were a little short and there weren’t enough of them. This sums up what I feel about the weapons in the game as well. The whip is awesome, the sand wand is awesome, the boomerang is awesome. But…That’s about all the items you get.

The greatest disappointment I had with the dungeon aspect, was when you are riding the tracks into the final showdown, you are taken into a teleporter, in front of a massive establishment. But instead of it being a dungeon it is a few train mini-games that lead straight into the main boss.

The main boss was tougher than some, but once I figured him out, I still never needed to use a potion. Although I will say, other than his middle phase (Which I thought was boring, although it was the most deadly.) the last sequence really sent you through the gauntlet making you use the abilities you’ve accrued. (Maybe not as much as a Mega Man game, but swell for a Zelda game.)

I was saying earlier in the post that they took out some of the hall marks, the biggest one I missed was the acquisition of heart pieces. Although it wasn’t apart of the very first Zelda game, I feel it was missed. The also reverted to the same potion system as the first game, instead of bottles. Which I thought was awesome because it made the game that much tougher.

On a small side tangent, I didn’t like the way that you got the master sword in this game, (or Lokomo sword in this one.) As it was just given to you by someone that was holding onto it the entire game, weird.

The best part of this game, are the dungeons that feel different than other Zelda games with some new trails to keep you stumped. And the other thing that I think makes this game a solid investment is, the story and the characters. The scenes are really good, and I’ll just echo myself from earlier when I say that, Link and Zelda’s chemistry is great.

To wrap everything up in a tight package, this game is good, just not as epic as Ocarina of Time, or as fun as Link to the Past. I would think if you’re a Zelda fan it is a must have, even though it isn’t as long as some of the console releases, it is a great length for a portable game, with tons of extra mini-games and side quests. The train is better than I make it sound, because it aggravates me at times, and so our relationship is bitter sweet.

Overall on a normal DS game rating I would give this game 7.5 out of 10.

Although if I were rating it against The other Zelda games, Link to the Past being a 10, and Majora’s Mask being a 1, than I would give it a 6.

Have any questions? Feel free to comment.

Yamazaki’s Halo Legends episode, “The Duel,” goes back to ancient
times, at the dawn of the Covenant. A shamed Elite defies his role as
an “Arbiter” – an honored but suicidal role that would regain him a
shred of honor—to take a path of revenge against those that stole the
only thing that matters to such an amazing warrior: His true love.
This ancient Arbiter must fight his way through ever-growing groups of
his former allies (grunts, elites, hunters, etc.) until he finally
stands face-to-face with the elite who betrayed his trust.

The episode showcases the richness and depth of the Halo universe, and
gives fans a glimpse of one of their favorite protagonists, The
Samurai-style mythos of the Elites is framed in an animation style
that branches away from many of Halo Legends’ CG and traditional
animation approaches to present the anime via a unique filter – giving
the episode the look of a moving watercolor painting. Yamazaki and the
artists at Production I.G were responsible for this singular artistic
vision. So stunning and different are the tones and forms that
multiple viewings offer new insights on each pass.

A rising star in the anime community, Yamazaki has developed a loyal
following as he has grown his career from sound direction and
storyboarding to a celebrated run as an episodic director of
innovatively-blended visual action on the critically acclaimed hit CG
anime series KARAS. Similarly, Production I.G has been responsible for
numerous acclaimed feature films, television series and video games,
including the cyberpunk classic Ghost in the Shell, Jin-Roh, The Wolf
Brigade and parts of Batman Gotham Knight.

Warner Home Video will distribute Halo Legends on February 16, 2010 as
a Special Edition 2-disc version on DVD and Blu-Ray™, as well as
single disc DVD and available On Demand and Digital Download. The DVD
anthology of episodic films based within the mythology of the popular
game Halo is produced by 343 Industries, a unit within Microsoft Game
Studios.

Yamazaki answered a few questions in regard to his participation in
bringing Halo Legends to animated life. Here’s that Q&A …

QUESTION:
What made you think Halo would lend itself to anime/animation?

HIROSHI YAMAZAKI:
I believe that the suitability (of a property for animation) depends
upon each story. This story definitely worked well in animation, and
in this style.

QUESTION:
What was the inspiration for your artistic vision in your episode of
Halo Legends?

HIROSHI YAMAZAKI:
I have been a lover of viewing the Halo art /illustration collection
books and such for some time and the entire collection of Halo
properties inspired me.

QUESTION:
Were there any particular images within the Halo realm that helped
shape or drive your creative vision?

HIROSHI YAMAZAKI:
When I was contacted by I.G about the project, I imagined that the
project would be very Sci-Fi in taste. However, when I met Mr. Frank
O’Connor (of 343 Indutries, Microsoft Games Studios) for the first
time, his requirement was to create a Samurai episode featuring an
Arbiter, and I was considerably and happily surprised.

QUESTION:
What did you set out to accomplish in this episode, and why do you
think you achieved or exceeded your goals?

HIROSHI YAMAZAKI:
What I was aiming for in this project was to make audiences understand
there should be other styles of animation beyond the existing two
primary kinds of animation presented – precisely cel-drawing 2D style
and CG 3D style. I wanted to show that creators are not limited, that
they have many options for different (animation) styles to create
stories.

QUESTION:
Did you feel you had the proper Halo experience to to bring the world
to life in anime?

HIROSHI YAMAZAKI:
I have played Halo 1 and 2 all the way through to the end. As I was so
busy in this project, I could not play Halo 3 but instead I watched
the gaming movie many times from the beginning to end.

QUESTION:
Did you include any “Easter eggs” for the devout Halo fans in your episode?

HIROSHI YAMAZAKI:
I employed the phrase “Akuma-da!” (“He is a devil” in English) as part
of the dialogue of a grunt soldier for fun for game lovers. I’m not
certain whether everyone will get to enjoy that treat, though, as I
understand the English version and Japanese version differ
considerably and I am not sure how this dialogue by the grunt is
treated in the English version.

(P.S. They released a whole bunch of these character images, I didn’t want to take the time to upload them though, if lots of people are interested in seeing them, leave a comment below.)

Konami has finally released a trailer for the new Metal Gear game, and here it is!

This looks like a great game for the PSP, as it looks even smoother than the first Metal Gear Solid, and that game still holds up. So far I have yet to be disappointed with any game in this franchise, even the VR missions were really fun.

Pre-order it on Amazon Here!

Also, if you haven’t seen it yet, here’s the Metal Gear Solid: Rising Teaser trailer from this years E3!

I hear that some people didn’t appreciate Raiden as much as I did, but I though Metal Gear Solid 2 was pretty radical, and so I am excited for this game as much as any other Metal Gear title.
You can pre-order it on Amazon Here! (But only for X-box, although I am sure it is coming out for PS3 as well. (I wonder if Xbox cut a deal with Konami?))

It’s also fair to bring light to the fact. Finally a Metal Gear game for you Xbox players out there.

An old homeless man.

Since our topic today is buying cheap, I thought, what better way to start the article than a picture of a homeless man only moments after rummaging through a garbage can for a scrap to eat.

I hope I didn’t depress you too much, because we’re going to go right into the list. I did all the research so you didn’t have to. Everyone you know is going to want one of these as their Christmas gift, and at prices such as these, you might just consider getting them all. And obviously you shouldn’t feel limited from buying them for yourself. I mean, you’ve earned it, life is ruff. Sit back and enjoy a video game. Or don’t, and feel sorry for homeless people, it won’t kill you.

In no particular order, here we go!

1. Chrono Trigger (DS)

Unfortunately this is my only DS pick, (dem sh*ts be expensive.) But it’s one of the best games ever made. It is an RPG, with a unique battle system (That has been aped many times since.) It is good for hundreds of playtime hours, as it has multiple endings. And has a high re-play value. Buy it on Amazon Here!

2. Dragon Quest Swords (Wii)

Honestly, I think this game has the best use of the Wii remote to date. Of course this is an objective opinion, and since I’ve only played about 25 Wii games, it could be seriously flawed. I still think this is worth the investment if you haven’t tried it yet. The story is okay, but it is quite simple, and really fun to play through. Buy it on Amazon Here!

3. Final Fantasy X (PS2)

Theirs a slew of Final Fantasy games for under 20 bucks. (Especially if you don’t mind playing PS1) But I’m going for newer game systems, so Final Fantasy X is my top FF pick, although Final Fantasy XII is under 20 bucks as well, and is entertaining for a much longer time. I think that the story and basic game system of FFX is much better. Buy it on Amazon Here!

4. Dragon Quest VIII (PS2)

Somehow being sold for only $11.99? This may be a mistake, get it while the gettin’s good! Seriously, I am a huge fan of the Dragon Quest series, and this is my favorite one so far, (Although V is shaping up pretty good.), but that’s irrelevant, buy this game! Buy it on Amazon Here!

5. God of War 2 (PS2)

I hadn’t got my hands on this game until recently myself, and I have to admit, I was missing out. This game is plain funny . I can’t say for certain if the developers are in on the joke but it makes me laugh constantly. The brutality is so over the top, and your main character doesn’t have a mode besides loud, and screaming. Buy it on Amazon Here!

6. Metal Gear Solid The Essential Collection (PS2)

This is a “Solid” game. No pun intended. (I’m contractually obligated to write “No pun intended.”, even though I meant every word of the pun!) These games are all worth playing, it’s one of the best video game series out there. They are filled with so much vision, and a type of story telling that rarely is done well in video games. Best of all, this game is a delightful challenge, and all three of them for under 20 bucks! Buy it on Amazon Here!

(A notable mention for Metal Gear Solid 4, coming in at only $27.98 For a newer PS3 game that is an unbeatable price.)

7. Resident Evil 4 (Wii)

Although you might hear me complain about not actually killing zombies. This game is motha f*ck*ng awesome. I hate to throw out words like, “My favorite in the series.”, and so I’m not gonna. But this is one of my favorites in the series, coming in right behind number 2. There’s a good reason that this series moved to third person shooter perspective. Because it’s awesome, and adding the Wiimote to the twist doesn’t hurt. Buy it on Amazon Here!

8. Bio Shock (PS3 & Xbox360)

The only game on the list that I actually haven’t played. But I’ve heard such great things I couldn’t leave it off the list, because I’m feeling pretty certain I’m going to be making the purchase myself. Buy it for PS3 Here! or you can, Buy it on Xbox360 Here!

9. Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)

Well at least this title should be on this list, but instead Nintendo is still charging almost 50 F*uck*ing dollars for it. What’s the deal? Well at least it’s a good game. I thought it was highly enjoyable, and with the second one coming out next year, definitely worth a test run. Buy it on Amazon Here!

10. Diablo 2 (PC)

That’s right motha F*cka’s this B*tch made the list. Sadly, this game has provided me more hours of entertainment than you can fit in an entire year. (That doesn’t include falling asleep on the keyboard while the game ran.) Every time I stop playing this I tell myself I’ll never go back. But I always do. And it’s always worth it. Although it takes a year out of your life, it gives it right back to you once you get level 99, I promise. Buy it on Amazon Here!

And to add a bit of personal advice, from one robot to another. If you don’t mind buying used games, there’s a slurry of awesome games you can get for under $5 dollars. Anyway get to the F*uck*ng store, and buy your B*tch*ing C**t some Motha F***** Video ***** So ***** Nuts ***** ***** Fuck!

Castlevania has been a brand name I’ve been able to trust since the NES, and so I’m always excited to hear about a new release in the series. (Besides Castlevania: Judgement, and the movie that Paul W.S. Anderson is attached to.) This one looks a bit different than some of the others, but it looks well developed if nothing else.

It looks most similar to the PS2 release, Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, but it doesn’t even really resemble it that much. In this robots honest opinion, the game looks more like God of War, but I’m sure with its own unique spin of course. With Patrick Stewart on the cast, I’m sure it’s more story oriented than some of the previous titles, but I only say that because who would want to waste Patrick Stewart? Not because Castlevania hasn’t had good stories in the past, I’m just saying I think they are going to one up their game.

As always they have some cool artwork. (Click the pictures to make them grow.)

The game play looks good, phenomenal from a horror aspect, but also not the best actual graphics I’ve ever seen. (Click the pictures to make them grow.)

I think this is going to be a good investment, Don’t make the mistake of not buying this one early. Castlevania games have a tendency of having low print numbers, and raising in price rather than getting cheaper. You can get it for PS3, although it doesn’t seem as if you can pre-order for PS3 at the moment.
It’s also being released on Xbox 360. And Amazon has that version for pre-order,  you can get it through this link.

This title is being shipped December 31st. And be sure to check out the trailer below!

Square just put out a brand new trailer for Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Crystal Bearers.

This was a better trailer than the older ones I’d seen, and it makes the game look a lot funner. Although it easily looks like a lesser title than Final Fantasy XIII, I think it looks like the best in the Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles line to date. And also you have to give them credit for making a fun looking Final Fantasy game, that doesn’t look like the story and game play are going to be too over bearing, In a way appealing to not so hardcore gamers. Plus with the addition of some sort of multi-player, and Wii controls. I think this is an exciting title.

Watch the Trailer, and then Pre-order it on Amazon here! It is being released Dec.26th, (I have a feeling they are hoping to get people to trade there gifts in to buy this item.) (Also, who cares if you give them a Christmas present a day late, get it for em anyway!)

I know I said no more Zelda stuff for a while, but this has got to be the last time because the game is coming out in only a few days time.

Anyway, I think this video out of all the others, shows really what this game is going to be all about. So if you are still curious to take a look before you buy it, Here it is in all its glory. Check it out!

I have to say, I was more excited for the train after watching this trailer. A friend of mine said to me the other day, “I don’t know about a train, I mean, it’s on tracks how fun can it be.”
All I have to say to him now is, “Remember how in the trailer, the motha f’in tracks disappear? Eat it!”
This trailer shows, that and much more! Including, spirit Zelda, some whip action, and of course some awesome golem touch screen stuff. But since it is “link”ed right above, don’t take my word for it, watch it!

Then remember to pre-order your copy today, it could be your last chance. Do it now!
