So I spent the last week in Kansas City, Missouri being a groomsman in the wedding of some friends of mine. This is pretty much irrelevant information although I did get the groom a PS3 because I know how to buy people’s friendship. Anyways, on the eight-hour car ride home I got into an argument with the bride’s brother about whether or not Too Human was going to be a worthwhile game. I think we are going to be left dissatisfied and he thinks the game might actually be worth the ten-year wait. If you have read my column a few weeks back you know how I feel about Dennis Dyack, the director of the game, but an outspoken developer is not enough to deter me from spending my ill-gotten cash on a game and so I may pick this up. I cautiously suggest you do the same, but do not blame me if it bites. I will give you the number of the kid you can harass.
In other news I now present you with a new feature of the Buy Pile called “What is currently in Dan’s multiple consoles that he may or may not be currently playing”. I need to work on the name.
What Is Currently In My Consoles?
PS3: Resistance: Fall of Man
360: Lost Odyssey
Wii: Boom Blox
DS: The World Ends with You
PSP: X-Men Legends II
PS2: Caroline in the City Season 1 (SHUT UP! You don’t know me!)
Too Human (360) - Pick of the Week
Norse mythology fuses with cyber punk sensibility is this first entry into a planned hack and slash trilogy. Anyone want to place bets on if we see Too Human Two?
Super Pick Ups (Wii)
You get to race pick-up trucks. Really, I ain’t kidding on this one. I bet if you hit a coyote, there is a mini-game where you pick it up to use in stew back at the trailer. Oh and these views do not reflect those of CrucialTaunt.com or its subsidiaries, except for Mark, as he is a bad person who thinks hateful things about people.
Anibus (Wii)
Either this is about dyslexic Egyptians, or an animated bus driving simulation. Then again, it could possibly be a complete collection of animals. I shall investigate this mystery further… okay, I gave up.
Commando: Steel Disaster (DS)
Seems to be quite reminiscent of Metal Slug, so if you like those then give this little war simulator a whirl.
Smash Court Tennis 3 (360)
I saw tennis courts on my trip to Kansas City this past week. That is all I’ve got folks.
