WEBmikey: Star Fox Command / Nintendo DS : 3 of 5

Fri, 08 Aug 2008 11:48:00 GMT

I got this game a long time ago since I read so many good reviews, plus I couldn't resist the nostalgia factor since I remember playing Star Fox back when I had a Nintendo 64. The game actually works really well for the DS - even though this is a first-person flying game, you can control the ship pretty easily using only the stylus (and buttons for firing, of course), which is pretty cool. The graphics are really reminiscent of the original game with lots of solid polygon shapes and not too much detail, but I thought it was just enough to look nice. Other graphics like all the animal characters and maps are beautiful, though. Unfortunately, this is another kind of game that I'm just not very good at, and I don't really have the patience to keep practicing very long! The training missions were lots of fun, learning to fly and target enemies, and then the first actual battle was cool, but after that the game suddenly really ramps up the skill level (especially when there's the added strategy twist of managing a certain number of moves to engage the enemy). I'm sure it would be fun to progress to meet the other characters and so on, but I think I need to accept my chosen gaming genres and stop straying into territory that I know will drive me nuts!

WEBmikey: Godzilla vs Hedorah : 2 of 5

Thu, 07 Aug 2008 11:45:00 GMT

My Godzilla watching habit has brought me to the 11th movie of the series made in 1971, Godzilla vs Hedorah (which I always knew as Godzilla vs the Smog Monster). This Godzilla movie is pretty unique for several reasons, including the huge anti-pollution message, spaced-out hippie teenage characters, off the wall animated segments, a groovy go-go nightclub music number, and an appalling lack of any character development! At least it has some great monster battles with Hedorah, probably the most disgusting Godzilla enemy of them all. Hedorah starts as a weird tadpole spawned by polluted waters, then evolves to a walking form. After he comes on land, he sucks on factory smokestacks like giant cigarettes, which gives him the power to transform into a flying manta ray, and eventually an even larger walking version, who can dissolve people down to their bones with his poisonous smog! By this point in the series Godzilla has become a full-time hero, and even appears for the first time with a new fanfare against a setting sun background. When the scientists discover that Hedorah can be "dried out" by a huge electric shock, Godzilla helps lure Hedorah into the right spot, then even powers the electrical device with his atomic breath! Unfortunately, he then uses his breath to levitate himself and fly, which has to be the dumbest Godzilla move ever. Thankfully, this DVD is another Sony release with the original Japanese soundtrack and good quality widescreen presentation, but of course there are no bonus features on the disc. It's hard to describe just how weird this movie is, since it doesn't feel anything like the previous Godzilla movies, but I enjoyed it anyway, and of course I'm ready to take on the next feature!

WEBmikey: Texas Rollergirls championship

Wed, 06 Aug 2008 12:25:00 GMT

Since my first flat-track roller derby experience was so much fun, last Sunday I went to see the Texas Rollergirls championship with my pals Matt & Kumiko! The place was completely packed (so much that they actually ran out of Lone Star beer!), but we still had a great view by standing on the ledges around the walls. The first bout was for third place, which was easily won by the Honky Tonk Heartbreakers - the score was so huge that it was embarrassing. But the big match for first place was a real nail-biter! The Hotrod Honeys (my favorite team) have made it to second place for the past four years, so they had to beat the Hell Marys this time to finally take the championship! The score was really close in the first half, and in the second half things started getting crazy with spills and wipe-outs all over the place (no medics required, thankfully!). In the end, the Honeys pulled ahead and won the bout and the first place title! We all had a great time screaming and enjoying the action, and it's always cool to see your team win. It was even more fun this time since I completely understood the game, and I was able to appreciate the strategy and the awesome moves by players like Lucille Brawl and Rice Rocket, who is by far the ultimate jammer (I think she must be a superhero!). I'm definitely looking forward to going back for more next season!
