E3 2010! - Bytejacker

This week we go to E3 to check out... oh, who are we kidding? We messed up again.

RADAR: Aqua

XBLA
Twin-Stick Shooter
Games Distillery
$10.00

Sometimes something just doesn't wind up being equal to the sum of its parts. For instance, when you make a Sci-Fi Western, you could end up with Firefly or you could end up with Wild Wild West. The new XBLA release Aqua attempts to mash up pirates, steampunk, and twin stick shooting. Are we talking Mal Reynolds or Jim West?

Feedback: Best Beat-Em-Ups

Who'd ever have thought that mash, run, repeat would've made for such a lost-lasting formula? Today we pay homage to the king of 90s arcades: the beat-em-up.

Adding the vuvuzuela horns as a sound effect just uped this video's awesomeness. And it also made me half-deaf.

[bytejacker]

@davidtang12314 I'm going to download a Vuvuzela ringtone.

i loved the arcade x-men game when i was a kid and now i downloaded it on the ps3 and i loved VIEWTIFUL JOE i pretty much modled my life after that dude he is like one of my insperations of anime, games, and heroes

[grimlock047]

hahaha!

Was that a Sean Connery?

That's why I like my 10 bucks cell phone, because battery lasts more than 1 week instead of the 8 hours of a BB or an iPhwn (that and the fact that I can't afford a monthly plan)

[mreatyogrits]

I was addicted to Power Stone!

i spent to many hours days weeks n months kicking my friends asses in that game

nuthin like smackin a power stone outta ur friend

[w3tcarrot]

Baby commando.

For the Fail.

This episode made me smile with the E3 concept. Thanks!

Spiderman for the Play station and PC.

DAMN! Not only was it a badass game, it had sh*tloads of cheats and secrets. I had the PC (mac, actually) version of it, and I still remember the cheat 'glands' for unlimited web (never knew why it was limited in the first place) and 'noitusees' for essentially the WTF version of the game.

[JeweledAce]

Dude... First, Transformice was posted by a well known TF2 video maker. Later that day, Kotaku made a news post on it. Site was down for hours upon hours.

And now, Bytejacker.

Dude you guys you totally just killed France's internet right here.
