So I DLed and played X-Men on my Evo today, it was free since it was Amazon's free app of the day...

umm...All I could think while i was manuevering with this non existant d-pad was...how in the world do ppl play games like MVC2 and AC ports on their phones!?!

I mean I know Handheld gaming is dying; vita and 3ds sales are proving that much; but a large majority of ppl really enjoy gaming on their phones like this? Really?

I honestly don't understand it. I'm as big a gamer as they come and I haven't seen a single phone game that I gave a fuck about. Even the "great ones" only seem to hold my attention for ten minutes, tops. Every time I listening to a gaming podcast and hear them talk about how mich they enjoy Game X on their iPhone I fucking cringe.

whoa...Im not saying that, Im tlking ported console/PC games like MVC2,X-men arcade, n Dead Space, and how ill fitted they feel, theyre games that will require you to spend a lil time with them, u have a makeshift d-pad and and at least 2 buttons on your screen along with the game visuals themselves...it's illfitting on a smartphone

Now a game that i can pickup n play for a lil bit? I can whip out Tetris,draw something, or blackjack and enjoy playing them for a lil bit...

Im saying, take a game like Mortal Kombat or a game like Need for Speed...you cant really compare the experience on a vita/3ds to the experience on a phone...theyre 2 different animals, worlds apart, yet constantly compared bc theyre in that Mobile arena...

Finished my first playthrough of Fez. I now understand why Vinny Caravella on the Giant Bombcast said that he felt like he was being "activated". What a bunch of trippy ass shit.

Oh, I am saying that. I'm also saying that game like Angry Birds, Cut the Rope, Fruit Ninja, etc are complete shit.

Sex Sells: Inflatable Doll a Pack-in for Agarest War 2

There have been a lot of weird and wonderful things packed in with limited editions and promised with pre-orders, but Akysy has just upped the ante with the limited edition of Record of Agarest War 2. Along with a hand towel and an art book, you, too, could be a proud owner of a Felenne Doll. An inflatable one at that. I have to wonder what came first, the doll or the hand towel? The official company spiel is as follows:

• Inflatable Felenne Doll: An adorable inflatable doll that will make a nice addition to any location that you can feasibly place it.
• Compressed 8 x 12” Hand Towel: Conveniently compressed into a heart shape, this towel is the ideal object of your desire for when you need a small object that expands into a full hand towel.
• Collectible Artbook: Titled “Heroic Trials from the Lands of Agarest”, this artbook is a humdrum addition to the many boring books you’ve read recently. Or so we would like others to think…

Oh, Aksys, you coy devils. Interesting that we get the measurements for the towel, while Felenne’s feminine mystique is upheld. Any location you can feasibly place it, you say? They definitely know what they’re doing. The blurred image above is by their own design. And yes, there’s nothing inherently wrong with a cute little extra like this, but the internet has been around the block, and even some of our parents have seen Lars and the Real Girl.

As for the game itself, well there’s some raunchy tiding there as well. The additional bullet points talk of revamped combat, HD graphics, a new world to explore, and some fun mini-games. Mini-games with Move support. Mini-games called Bathtub, Shiatsu and Massage. All that, and it’s only packing a T rating from the ESRB.

Record of Agarest War 2 is due out at the end of June, and the limited edition is retailing for only $59.99.
