It’s just a quick filler blog today, folks. As you might remember, I just got a PS3 recently. A few days ago, I finished playing through the PS3 exclusive Katamari Forever, and it put me in the mood for a tribute blog on one of my favorite series.

Travis Touchdown’s 8-bit Side Jobs
Posted on July 12th, 2010 by
Travis Touchdown, the protagonist in No More Heroes, likes perverted anime, wrestling, and video games. He bought a real working light saber-like sword so he could go out and kill all the assassins around so he could be number one. Why? To earn more money to buy video games, of course. Not exactly a role model. Because of all the classic 8-bit game allusions in No More Heroes, it kind of caught my interest and I bought it when it went down in price. The violence didn’t bother me at first, as victims just looked liked piñatas with red streamers coming out of them (the game has a stylized feel and look to it). But the ultra-violent finishing moves you perform on the boss assassins bothered me a bit (I know, I’m a big baby), so I stopped playing. However, I still bought the sequel when it went on sale because I wanted to play the 8-bit NES styled side jobs to help Travis earn money. So here’s a blog about Travis Touchdown’s 8-bit side jobs in No More Heroes 2!

Cary’s Best Video Games of the Year SO FAR Awards Show!
Posted on July 3rd, 2010 by
Welcome, one and all, to the Cary’s Best Video Games of the Year SO FAR Awards Show! Around this time of the year, when it’s halfway over, I like to take a look at the games that were released at the first half of the year and pick out the best ones. Why? Well, when people do their Game of the Year awards at the end of the year, some of the games released at the beginning are sometimes forgotten. And all the exciting news of upcoming games at the recent E3 doesn’t help matters either. I know that most of the best games come out at the end of the year for the holiday season, but I wanted to give recognition to the early gems of 2010 as well.
