MegaMan 9, Too Old School?
August 19, 2008
With the upcoming release of MegaMan 9 on the “Big 3″ consoles, will the 2D style graphics hold up?
MegaMan 9 will be THE first game to join Nintendo’s Wiiware, Xbox’s Live Arcade and PlayStation 3’s PSN. With the processor, memory and video cards these consoles posses why did Capcom select to go with their 2D graphics? My guess is that retro gaming STILL sells. As much as developers are trying to create the next Mario or Sonic gamers love where there roots began… back in the day.
MegaMan has always been an 8-bit classic, so I bet their release of MegaMan 9 will have those “old-timers” cracking their knuckles and ready to show the new bloods how to game. Nintendo first showed up MegaMan on the NES, but where will MegaMan succeed? Will it be the underdeveloped Wii? The pay for service XBLA? Or the supercomputer PS3?
While you ponder on these questions, check out Capcom’s latest screens. I’m sure they’ll get you to reminisce the 90’s.
‘Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts’ Out On Nov. 18 for the Friendly Price of $39.99
August 19, 2008
Regardless of what people might say, Banjo-Kazooie has been a good series that, while definitely inferior to the Mario franchise (but which isn’t?), showed off what a great developer Rare was. They’ve had their fair share of duds (i.e. Perfect Dark Zero and Kameo), but this year might be good for the British team.
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts is due November 18 to the tune of a surprisingly cheap $39.99. As an incentive for pre-ordering the game, buyers will get a code to download the original N64 Banjo-Kazooie two weeks prior to the release of the XBLA re-release…for free.
We kind of like the idea of getting free stuff when we pre-order games around here, especially when the full game is $20 cheaper than the bloated regular price of other titles.
You guys plan on taking Rare up on their pre-order offer? Here’s a video of what you can look forward to if you do:
The Good, The Bad, and the Unrated…August 18
August 18, 2008
We were once excited about Too Human but since we’ve heard so many “so-so” impressions of the game lately, we’ll be spending those sixty dollars elsewhere.
A good substitute would be Quest for Booty, which aims to give Ratchet & Clank fans a much-needed fix continuing the story immediately after last year’s furry-animal outing on PS3. Galaga Legions should be good, too, as it throws in the now familiar neon-techno coat of paint to the classic arcade game.
(The following scores were “aggregated-tive-ized” as of August 18, 2008 via Metacritic)

Master Chief gets Lucky with Nude Hot Chick!
August 18, 2008
Let me warn you and say the link is NSFW. But this chick really knows how to get with the hottest character in Halo. The Master Chief! Owen Good over at Kotaku, linked this story back to GamerFetish.com. But be warned the site is very (Not safe for work)
I’ve never been a big fan of Halo 3, I know I’m nuts, but if anyone would get me to play, Ann Angel could help charge my Xbox controller. Kezins would like to ask you gamers, do sexy women featured with video games help sell the game?
Again, listen to Tony Clifton, this link is very NSFW! Gamerfetish.com
Love the smurfs shirt, I wonder if she’s an 80’s chick?
The First ‘Tomb Raider: Underworld’ Gameplay Video
August 18, 2008
My interest in the Tomb Raider series has dwindled over the past few games, but Underworld might be enough to suck me back into the franchise. The following clip is the first official gameplay video. After watching the following video, I’m sure your interest will be peaked as well. Underworld promises to bring many new aspects to the franchise and that’s exactly what we needed.

‘Prison Break’ Video Game Confirmed
August 18, 2008
It looks like Brash Entertainment will release a video game adaptation of Prison Break on PS3 and Xbox 360 in in February, 2009. Brash confirmed that a small screen adaptation will follow up its Hollywood tie-ins for movies such as Jumper, Alvin and the Chipmunks and Space Chimps.
Fans of Prison Break probably noticed a quick advertisement for the game inside the Season 3 boxset of the show. We really don’t have any information on the game other than what was confirmed to Gamespot.
GTA IV Coming to Japan in October
August 18, 2008
It looks like Japan will FINALLY get their release date for Grand Theft Auto 4. On October 30, expect to pick up your very own copy of GTA IV for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation3. I’m sure there will be another “burst” in sales for the game of course and consoles. GTA IV IS a console seller!

Half of Kezins’ Staff Afflicted by the “Red Ring of Death”
August 16, 2008
It happened. The fatal “red ring of death” came in and swooped this writer’s Xbox 360 away. The system might have sensed the excitement over beating people online in Soulcalibur IV with Maxi-inspired “Carissa-foo” and shut down.
We gathered up a bit of info from around Kezins HQ and found out that half the staff has suffered from the dreaded “red ring.”
Will’s Xbox 360 crapped out after eleven (11!) months in use, Jesper’s is still up and running (or it should be, last we heard of him), and this writer’s took a dirt nap after a year and ten months of service. Juan? His can’t “red ring” because he doesn’t have one, but we’ll give his phantom system the benefit of the doubt and say it’d be living the good, gaming life.
What about you guys? Is your system still up and running? Or have you stayed away from the problematic Xbox 360?
