One of my professors showed this at the beginning of class today. I am not quite sure what he was trying to accomplish, but it was better than listening to him lecture. This is a video by SarcasticGamer.com. It is the same commercial that Nintendo put out, SarcasticGamer.com just dubbed over the sound and added their own. I think it is pretty funny.

I just watched this trailer for Devil May Cry 4. It is on of the best trailers I have watched in a long time. It got me really excited for this game. One of the biggest reasons is that it seems to have a real storyline and not just a go to this castle, and fight this dark lord. Also the voice acting does not seem tacked on. You need to take the time to let the whole HD trailer load because it is totally worth it.

I am excited about this game. I have been a big fan of the DS version for a long time. The best part of this will be the Co-op play. I think it will be fun and really help out on those difficult surgeries to have your friend giving you a hand.

No More Heroes is the kind of game that makes me happy that I own a Wii. Check out this preview video and you will understand. More games like this need to be made.

If you were lucky enough to own or play Dragon Quest IV, (I know it is “Dragon Warrior” in the US, but it is really Dragon Quest,) on the NES, then you know what an awesome game it is. I am happy that Square-Enix is giving it the remake treatment. I am also happy that they are putting it on the DS, because I am running out of games to play on that system. The video shows a lot of the gameplay. It looks like they have done a lot to stay true to the original game. The graphics are tons better and even the turn based fighting seems like it has been improved a lot. It is scheduled for release this year in Japan, and hopefully soon after in the US.

If you like Final Fantasy then you need to go check out these videos. The good folks of Gametrailers.com have put together a great history of Final Fantasy from the beginning to today. It is going to be a 13 part series and today they have reached the 8th part in the series, so if this is the first you have heard of it you have a lot of catching up to do. Each video is about 10-20 min of pure Final Fantasy goodness. These videos are some of the best “history” videos I have ever watched for a video game series. That is due in part to the fact that I am a HUGE Final Fantasy fan. I own almost every version of every Final Fantasy that has been released in the States.

I have not played a Dragon Quest (or Dragon Warrior for those of us in the U.S.A.) sense playing Dragon Warrior IV for the good old NES. I still feel like that is one of the best RPG’s out for the console, and I wish that it would receive an update like other Square-Enix games have. But the fact that Square-Enix is bringing this huge franchise to the little Nintendo DS says a lot. The other thing about this game that makes it sweet is the huge amount of character customization. It is dropping on 11/20/2007.

I don’t know if you are excited about this one or not. It is going to be something else when it is released. I love to see game developers that are going out there to create new and exciting ways to play games, and this is something new and exciting. Look for it to hit the shelves this June.
