Look at what I came across the other day.  It’s a very cool metroidvania for your iPhone/Touch.  It’s called Dark Incursion and it’s put together pretty good I must say.  The game is a little short but I’ve heard whispers on the net that there’s more planned content.  It’s good a nice solid Castlevania style to it but there’s a twist with the items you get.  They only last so long so you have to manage how you use them, which is something I kind of like.

The other things that I can get behind is the pixel art is bang on!  I might be a bit biased though since is harkens back to my gaming youth.  Oh, and the portrait art of the main chick is nice too.  She’s got some nice assets there which makes me think the artist knows what he’s doing in that depatment… wink, wink.

The game also has a neat little 3D mode where you can put on your red/blue glasses and play in THHREEE  DEEE!!!  It might sound a bit odd, but it totally works.  Anyway, just thought I’d pass this along because I think that it’s totally sweet and I haven’t posted any game news in a while. ^_^

Sometimes I wish I had a PSP.  Oh, I’m happy with my 3DS, but when you see something like this, it defiantly turns my head.  So what this is exactly is an adult PC game called Shirogane no Cal to Suokuu no Jyoou and it’s making a pretty sexy leap to the portable screen. Continue reading

So it’s been a while since I’ve made a post here.  I feel like I’ve missed out on a good deal of sexy video game news as of late.  And I totally want people to feel they can come here to find out sexy titbits about the video game industry.

So right now I have a little concepts arts from Bayonetta.  It’s no shock that Bayonetta was designed to be sexy.  Over the top sexy… with guns… and crazy long legs.  But what’s always interesting is to see where these ideas came from or what they might have been.  So here are six sexy alt designs of Bayonetta with more of a “Western” flair.

So it’s now day 3 with the 3DS.  Lots of people at work come over to ask if they can see it and try it out.  I am, of course, more then happy to do so when they do.  I let them try out Street Fighter IV, to which everyone says looks and plays awesome.  Then, as they’re leaving, I bring out the AR cards that come with the system.  I then show them the little mini games you can play with them… and they’re hooked.  So many have now decided that they should pick one up after trying it out.  It seems to be one of those things that once you play it and see it for yourself you’ll lean more on the “gotta have it” side of things.  So be careful when you play one… it’s infectious. ^_^

So what did I do with my new 3DS on the second day?  Why I checked out some 3d pinup photos.  Japanese photographer Julie Watai has made available some sexy 3d type pictures so I ran over to the site and downloaded them.  It was pretty fun checking out sexy 3d pics on my new little system.  You can find the sexy photo’s here.

I also played swapped a Mii with a friend at work and checked out what the Mii Plaza had to offer.  It’s pretty cool since the new Mii’s come with a picture piece that you use to put together some Nintendo themed 3d pics.  You can also to this Find Mii adventure game with the new Mii’s  Think of it as longer drawn out RPG where you have to find more Mii’s to swap to play.

I also watched OK GO’s new video White Knuckles that came with a system update.  Pretty damn cool if you ask me. ^_^

I picked mine up this morning.  I was up at 6 am (thanks to my dog) so I figured, heck, I’m up, I might as well go and get one.  I was going to wait a bit until funds where better, but my wife said that I should go and get it.  I’m rocking a red DS Phat that can hold a charge for about a day… I guess I’m due.

I picked up the blue one and some Street Fighter 4.  I haven’t played it much to be honest.  I’ve been too busy trying out the AR games which are tons of fun.  I hope they put out more of these cards as they’re lots of fun to play and cool to show friends.  My daughter was totally amazed. ^_^
Lots of people have been saying that their eyes feel tired and such after playing, but I seem to be okay.  I didn’t feel tired… well… no more than usual.

Anyone else pick one up or are going to pick one up?  If so, which games?
