You know, it’s a good thing we’re not surgeons in real life; patients would be dying left and right due to our gross negligence. Case in point with these videos for Atlus’ upcoming Trauma Team for Wii.
In this newest iteration on the Trauma Center series of “anime drama-meets-hospital drama”, rather than playing a single surgeon, you actually take control of an entire team of medical specialists: from the emergency first responders to diagnosticians to medical forensics experts.
Atlus has been trickling out these walkthrough videos for each branch of the team for a few weeks now, but we’ve been lagging behind in getting them up. See what we mean? If you were relying on us for emergency medical care, you’d have bled out by now!
So we’re going to start off with the most recent video, focusing on Orthopedics and then write you a referral to head under the jump, where you can find the Endoscopy and Surgery videos, respectively. Just promise not to sue – our malpractice insurance isn’t paid up.
I got shivers all over my body reading this announcement. My plastic instrument pile has been collecting a bit of dust since The Beatles: Rock Band left my 360’s drive and I keep meaning to go back to it, but I always make some manner of lame excuse. Looks like my time for excuses may have run out.
Harmonix announced that this week’s big addition to the Rock Band store will be the full album of Megadeth’s 1990 masterwork, “Rust In Peace“. I think I may need to go change my underwear now.
Oh, hello there! Haven’t seen you guys in a while now!
Yeah, so we fell behind a bit in posting the weekly new release lists – in fact, this is our first one for 2010. Shame on us, I know. Trust me, we feel bad enough as it is.
Still, this isn’t a bad week to hop back in on, as it sees the return of another face we haven’t seen in a while; BioShock, to be specific. Indeed, this time BioShock 2 brings us back to the underwater dystopia of Rapture in the boots of a Big Daddy. And if ramming a power-drill through the body of a mutated splicer isn’t to your liking, how about slicing up the souls of the damned in Dante’s Inferno? Nothing like a little soul-slicing to welcome back an old friend, right?
If none of those are to your liking, just hit the jump and browse the offerings. Also, keep note that we’re adding a few more options in the Amazon sidebar this week to feature titles we forgot to promote for the last few weeks, so it’ll be extra-super big. Do us a solid and pick a few up via our banner, huh? Thanks!
Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Anger, Heresy, Violence, Fraud and Treachery – for Dante, these sins represent steps on a literal trip through Hell and back to try and save the soul of his beloved. For me? It sounds like an average weekend. And I’m sure that the average Indianapolis Colts fan is dealing with at least five or so of these today, if not all seven.
Oh ho ho! But I do kid about, don’t I? Look at me, being topical with a Super Bowl reference.*
*Ahem*
Anyway, with Dante’s Inferno about to release this Tuesday, it’s about time to enjoy what is probably the final new trailer before the game launches. No ’70s soul in this one, sadly. Oh well. We can’t win them all, can we?
It’s a sad day for those few faithful out there who were still hanging on to their old Xboxes, or playing the few backward compatible games that still had active online communities on their 360s. Microsoft announced on Friday that it was pulling the plug on the original incarnation of Xbox Live after seven years.
The announcement came via Major Nelson, with a follow-up from XBL General Manager Marc Whitten on the Gamerscore blog. Hit the jump for more details.
It’s been a couple of years since our last visit to Rapture – a trip that I was infamously reluctant to make until I played the demo for the first BioShock. That being said, I don’t think I’ll be as apprehensive this time around, even though I originally balked at the idea of a sequel.
BioShock 2 comes out next week on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and along with the release comes the inevitable launch trailer. Are you ready to step into the heavy, clunking boots of a Big Daddy?
If you’re like me – and I know I am – you could care less about the Super Bowl. All it means to me is that for a couple of hours, the streets will have marginally less traffic and the salty snack isle at the grocery store will be a little more sparsely stocked in the days prior.
However, I know I’m the anomaly and not the norm in this situation and that millions of people will be watching it. EA knows this too – that’s why they’ve purchased a block of super-expensive ad time to hype Dante’s Inferno, mere days before it releases in stores. Also noteworthy is the fact that CBS forced them to remove their customary “Go To Hell” tagline from the end of the commercial, replacing it with the presumably less offensive “Hell Awaits.”
So, if you, like me, indulge in the blasphemy that is not giving a crap about football, why not indulge in a bit more and enjoy this (surprisingly soulful, thanks to the Bill Withers soundtrack) Dante’s Inferno commercial? Just don’t ask me where the tortilla chips are – the store was sold out… *grumble*
Assassin’s Creed was 2007’s “love it or hate it” game. Personally, I was negative on the title. It was plagued by a predictable story, repetitive and bland side-missions, and a bizarre (and boring) decision to center the game’s focus on Desmond Miles, a modern-era bartender who happened to be related to historical assassins. A mysterious doctor named Vidic and his assistant, Lucy, forced Desmond into using a machine called the Animus to retrieve memories encoded within his DNA. These Animus sequences occurred in interactive cutscenes that popped up after you completed an assassination, but required little more of you than to put Desmond to bed.
That said, Assassin’s Creed II completely blindsided me. I had no interest in this game outside of the new, interesting setting in the Italian city-states of the Renaissance period. What I found, however, is one of the deepest and most creative open-world video games in recent memory. +View Full Story
In the latest update to Team Fortress 2, Valve sneaked in a little surprise for all the players of the beloved first-person massacre: a new game mode entitled Highlander.
In the new mode, there is a limit of 9 players to each team, and a limit of one of each class per team. So, there can only be one (Heavy, Medic, Engineer, Spy, etc.). Get it? This is definitely an interesting spin on the usual chaos that is team class balance, and as Luke Plunkett of Kotaku pointed out, “… it’ll force people to not only work as a true team, but also hone their skills on unfamiliar classes.”
The new mode is available for play, so tell us what you think! And, if you’re at all curious, click the jump to see the full patch notes for the update.
So it seems the folks over at Atlus have been watching a bit too much late night TV. At least, that’s what we have to assume after seeing this latest spot for 3D Dot Game Heroes.
After all, why else would they be offering “natural sword enhancement”? Unless they know something about gamers that none of us are willing to admit, that is?
…anyway, moving on!
Regardless of blade size (length or girth), I think it’s a pretty foregone conclusion that my first Dotnian hero will be named “Smilin’ Bob”.
Also, since we forgot to post these before, enjoy the first batch of localized 3D Dot Game Heroes screens under the jump. The game is due on May 11th for PlayStation 3.
