Mellow Gaming With Ant & Paul: This Time We Play Sin & Punishment

So this is a thing I do now. Last week I posted a few videos of me and my mate Luke playing a session of Wet on the PS3. Decided to share this commentary fun out with another buddy of mine named Paul and together we played some Sin & Punishment: Successor to the Skies (Star Successor in the US) on the Wii. It’s a into the screen shooter, kind of a modern take on Space Harrier, by Shmup legends Treasure. The game is actually a sequel to a Sin & Punishment game that appeared on the N64, although not here in the UK. At least not until it was published on the Wii’s Virtual Console a short while back. Anyway, Paul and I were pretty unfamiliar with this here game so we recorded our first ever experience playing it. Click the link to marvel at how much we suck.

Games Review No.4: WWE 13

Fun fact: I like wrestling. Been a fan since the mid to late 80s, grew up watching Bret Hart, Hogan, The Ultimate Warrior and so forth punching each other in the rough vicinity of the head. I enjoyed the showmanship, the action and the fun of watching a clown wrestle a voodoo priest. When I was a lad wrestling games were a big pile of turd that failed entirely to reflect what the show was about.. I used to play games like Super Wrestlemania (which I have just realised is in my SNES right now) WWF Raw and other such messy wrestling games. Kids today love to complain about how crappy modern wrestling games are but believe me, they’re light years ahead of what we had back then. THQ (God rest their soul… maybe) have been making WWE’s wrestling games for about 12 years now. What they brought to the table was more of the storylines and presentation of the TV shows themselves. So after all this time making these games how have they progressed with their latest WWE game? Click the link to read my review!

Retro-Perspectives No2: Super Mario Bros – The Lost Levels

Hey look at this! I eventually got around to making a second video. I did plan to do a Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon video but had memory card issues that have now been sorted. Instead I covered a game that has always been the bane of my gaming life, Super Mario Bros – The Lost Levels. This game is hard. like really, really hard. Every object and enemy in the game is placed solely to cause pain and misery. Because of this I suck balls at the game and only got as far as world 2-4 after about 90 minutes of play. That’s pretty bad for a Mario game. Anyway, this is my Retro-Perspective video which is where I look at an old game and assess whether it’s still worth playing today. Click the link to see the video!
