No More Heroes Preview

No More Heroes is the new game from Suda51 the director of the cult classic Killer7. I have to admit I have yet to finish Killer7, I’m about haft way through but it’s a special game with a lot of style and originality not only in the visuals but in the story and characters. I think it’s a good game that tried something different and if you are a serious video game enthusiast you should play it at least once. No More Heroes is already out in Japan, the release date for North America is February 5th. Don’t miss this one, it’s going to be crazy.

Everybody Votes Channel: 150 votes

every body votes channel

I’ve been regularly voting on the Everybody Votes Channel on the Wii since the release of the channel. I don’t think I’ve missed any vote yet. My total of votes (with results) is now 150, which gives me a prediction accuracy ratio of 70.6% with 106 wins and 44 losses. The rest of the stats are a bit confusing since you can’t know for sure what is taken in consideration to produce them, but it seems I am not in tune with my surroundings and my experience. It also seem that I am 88 meters away from popular opinion, I guess I have often voted for the loosing options. I’ll report again when the count reaches 200. Oh and did you know Japan believes in ghosts and Australia doesn’t?

Mario Galaxy 120 Stars Get

120 Stars Proof

This morning I woke up with the firm intention of getting the few remaining stars I had left in Super Mario Galaxy to reach the 120 stars goal. Some of them posed a challenge but it never turned into frustration. I had done the purple coins and comet stars as they gradually appeared throughout the game instead of leaving them all for the end. It was the right thing to do. I never felt like they were a chore but more like a test of skill.

Mario Galaxy: 33 Stars

Buoy Base Galaxy

I don’t like drifting away too much off Team Fortress 2, I’m afraid my skill is going to start to diminish and I won’t be able to be competitive when I’ll get back to it. But Super Mario Galaxy is just so great, right now it is getting all of my gaming time. Mass Effect is just around the corner too, oh boy this is a great time to be a gamer, I just wish there was a little bit more spacing between these great releases.

Wii Remote Jacket

Wii Remote Jacket The Wii Remote jackets arrived and I have to admit they’re better than I expected. I asked for two since I have two Wii Remotes and they arrived rather fast and best of all, it is all free.

It won’t turn you into a better player, but it makes the remote a bit bigger and adds extra grip that feels better than the smooth surface. Is it a must? Not really, but if you’re afraid of dropping the remote or launching it towards the TV screen by accident, it could come in very handy.

Super Mario Galaxy Get

Mario Galaxy Cover

There’s always a little bit of confusion on the release dates of games here in Canada especially in the province of Quebec. We usually get games one or two days after the official North American launch date, nothing very problematic there but the weird thing is the date is never consistent between retailers. For example Futureshop had it on the 14th, Bestbuy today the 13th and Amazon.ca yesterday. I wanted to get my hands on this game as soon as possible so I tried my luck this morning and got rewarded with a Get!
