The Gamescrap Blog - where the worst come to whine...

Welcome to the Gamescrap blog; a collection of random goings on, thoughts, some reviews, and small articles that just can't find a place in the Heap. It's like one big landfill for the soul...just like the rest of the internets.



Gee, thanks Sony!

Has Tokyo Metro gone mad with their new "Do it at home" campaign? We all know not to yell on cell phones or play loud music on the bus or the subway...but now video games are getting a bad rap as well?

Touchdown TravestyMaking its way around the internet for the past couple of weeks is DuLuDuBi Star, a platformer for the PC from Chinese developer FANGTE. You may notice from the gameplay vid that FANGTE doesn't seem to realize the difference between an homage and outright thievery, in this case, the victim is Super Mario Galaxy. You'll notice about twenty things wrong about ten seconds into this video from 1-up (after the stupid sponsor ad...sigh).

Gamescrap

First off, welcome to the new site! If you may have noticed from the lack of updates over the last couple weeks it's because I've been working to relaunch the site...something I set out to accomplish all the way back in May and just recently really started cracking down.

 

P.S. - Stop Ripping Us Off!

As a borderline obsessive classic gamer, I was excited to hear that Microsoft had announced the Game Room, which lets your avatar pimp out their own arcade and fill it up with arcade cabs. I miss the days of the arcade, and to be able to relive it in some form would be the epitome of nostalgia. At my day job, my co-workers and I went back and forth about how much we think the games would be. Seeing as the announcement inclued Intellivision and Atari games, I wouldn't have minded paying 99 cents per game. It wasn't until I saw the pricing of said games that I realized how much of a scam this had become.
