8/17 WWE Smackdown review: Rivers’s debut report - Khali vs. Kane, The VIP Lounge

Friday, August 17th, 2007

In the ring, MVP welcomes everyone to the first ever edition of The VIP Lounge. Isn’t WWE overdoing the “talk show” segment idea? Sure, it allows them to keep talent on television while injured, but it no longer seems special the way it used to just a few months ago. MVP mentions that Evander Holyfield will take his place in his boxing match against Matt Hardy at Saturday Night’s Main Event due to his heart condition. He introduces Matt Hardy as the first guest on The VIP Lounge. After arguing back and forth about who’s a liar and who has more heart…

This Sunday… Will You Be A Witness To History? Because I will! THE KING OF KONG and Steve Weibe working to break the record

Friday, August 17th, 2007

Hey folks, Harry here… back in Austin. God it’s great to watch DVDs, HD DVDs, sleep in your own bed, not have anywhere to go each morning and live life as a good geek does. One day at a time.

Today - I got a call from Seth Gordon, director of THE KING OF KONG: FISTFUL OF QUARTERS. Now - as you probably know… THE KING OF KONG opened today in theaters across this mighty big country of ours. It’s being heralded by some idiot critics as a COMEDY.

It isn’t.

It can be seen as funny, but THE KING OF KONG is a story about fair play, being the best at something, anything… it’s about DONKEY KONG. Now - the established critics of this country are all a generation removed from DONKEY KONG. They had no unifying PINBALL machine… they’re the children of the Hula Hoop… we’re the bastard children of Mario. We understand how hard it was to play DONKEY KONG - and never dreamt the road was as long as it was. We never knew about kill screens.

In2Games bringing motion sensing to the PS2

Friday, August 17th, 2007

Filed under:

Although the battle for next-gen supremacy is in full swing, the best-selling console in the land remains the venerable PS2, so it was only a matter of time before developers tried to cash in on the buzz surrounding Wii by cranking out some motion-sensing titles for Sony’s older machine. First up to the plate is In2Games, which will add to its existing motion sensing catalog with the announcement of Realplay Golf, Tennis, Pool, Racing, Bowling, and Puzzlesphere at the Leipzig Games Convention later this month. The $60 games each come with a custom motion sensing controller, enabling players to fill their homes with as many crazy peripherals as possible. We’re all for more motion controlled games — especially if the controllers are as hackable as the SIXAXIS and Wiimote — but if In2Games really wanted to bring the next-gen experience to the PS2, they’d take out the rumble, no?
