Bioshock for the Gameboy?

Syke! Not really. Just a cool mock jpeg of a de-make version of Bioshock I found in my daily feeds today. Very well done. Almost looks like a game I would have actually played back in the days of yore, when my Gameboy was king.

Check out these forums for some other great de-makes such as S.T.A.L.K.E.R, Ico and Guitar Hero, all in GLORIOUS 2D!

Nostalgia Get!

Anyone remember this game? I remember REALLY enjoying it when I first got my Gamecube. Recently I've had a MAD hankering to replay it lately, so I tracked myself down a copy. It wasn't as easy as you think either. I deliberately took the photo of the game with the package so you can see that I didn't just head down to my local EB and leisurely scoop up a copy.

I did the hard yards. I spent the big dollars. I jumped on Google and found Gametraders.

Enter the Rant Theory Podcast review segment titled: "I REMEMBER THIS BEING FUN!" where we take an old game previously played and loved (or hated) by ourselves, in this case Smugglers Run: Warzones, and re-review it in today's standards. This will be the first game that we will tackle so keep an ear out for the podcast real soon. Hell, even I'M keen to know what i think of it now!

Thanks again to the crew at Gametraders Woodcroft for being awesome to deal with and not laughing at me for buying this game. They even sent me a little swag of purple Gametraders goodies. WOOT! Very happy, and i'll shop with them again. Hit 'em up at gametraders.com.au (Sorry in advance to my local EB peeps. I still have yo' back)

Now, if they could only track me down a copy of Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes......

Man makes All-In-One Retro handheld console, Is not very good at Arkanoid.

It wont win any beauty pageants, but still a pretty good effort.



What I would like to see is someone make a current generation All-in-One console. You know, so I can play games on it that I actually give a shit about.

Prepare to be owned by a parakeet

Oh great, just when I had come to grips with the fact that I'm doomed to being murdered at Call Of Duty 4 by 8 year olds, Now i have to deal with THIS SHIT.



If someone teaches their pet chimp to beat me at UNO, I'm fuckin OUT.

Rock Band 2. Heavy Metal indeed.

The new Rock Band 2 opening cinematic.

That's right. That's a spiked ball and chain attached to the microphone. Metal as fuck! Apart from that, its pretty similar to the last one, which is fine by me as the last one was awesome also.

I wonder if that will come out as a 3rd party add on................ if the game ever fucking gets here.

Mr Metal

PS: Shitty video, I know. Its the best I could do. I'll pop up a better one when its made available.

Nathan gets a PS3: Initial impressions

That's it! I caught every console pokemon of generation now.

The latest and last edition, the big-black-George Foreman grill-tanning bed PS3. Why now? Uhhhhh.....I don't really now. With the release of the new 80 gigger w/dual shock and the fact I just busted open my piggy bank (no, really) sent me over the edge. But my first few hours gave me that old familar twang of buyers remorse.

Buying no games really didn't help this. I had no Metal Gears to get all swept away with.

So I decide to set the thing up, download a bunch of demos and just get a feel for it. But of course it needs to update. No problem. It takes 45 slow minutes. Ok ok....no problem. Once I'm logged in, it's on to the Playstation Store to grab some of the PS3 goods I have missed.

A little while ago, I remember people being happy that the PS store had been redesigned. WHAT THE FUCK WAS IT LIKE BEFORE, because the one they have now is a fucking DOG to navigate. It's easy enough to move around in, but finding stuff is a real pain in the arse.

It segmented into really specific categories like 'platformers or 'racing games that include, but are not limited to, a red car'. When you find something you actually want you must do the following: Select the thing you want, then in a new page hit Download, then in a new list form hit download again, THEN ask the playstation if would be ok to dowload it in the background. ...WHY THE FUCK WOULDN'T I WANT TO DOWNLOAD IT IN THE BACKGROUND?? No, no, let me stare at the bar for a while! WOO! What an epic bar!! WEEE!! 3 percent! IT'S A PARTY!

Just when it seemed extemely grim....I saw a beakon in the form of an icon with a stupid button eyed grin...

LittleBigPlanet.

I literally said out loud "Oh yeah!....I can play LittleBig on this thing! Sweet!"

And all my anger was gone.

October 30 please.

How can you say no to a flying tank?

Both myself and Brother N have been pretty excited about this game, and with each news article and gameplay video it has failed to disappoint. This is a "day one" title so we will give our impressions as soon as it hits store shelves here in OZ, which is real soon.

Heres the latest offering, displaying the VERY fun looking CO-OP mode.

Flying Tank anyone?
