I like to think of Fallout: New Vegas as the PG-13/R-rated version of the movie Wall-E.
Video Blips:
• I appreciate the metaphorical use of weapons as musical instruments (albeit musical instruments of destruction) to spice up this jazzy Fallout: New Vegas commercial. Sniper rifle solo, anyone?
Continue after the break for a Michael Jordan-themed trip down memory lane in NBA 2K11, the demo trailer for Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, some variations of a story from The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings (NSFW), and a preview of Blood Drive.
• The guys at 2K Sports are marketing NBA 2K11 as some kind of Michael Jordan biographical video game. Apparently you can play out all of his famous basketball games -- including one where Jordan had the flu. As silly as that sounds, it's true.
• Enslaved: Odyssey to the West is the perfect title to indulge in your fantasies of being a muscular, shirtless man who fights back against oppressive giant robots. I feel like not enough games explore those themes these days.
• NSFW. A young witch tells the story of the Witcher's daring escape from prison. The drunkard she's telling it to, however, insists on inserting a topless woman in the narrative. I'm curious, now, to see if the rest of the The Witcher 2 will be like this.
• I'm a bit disappointed that Blood Drive is not an educational game about the importance of donating blood to the Red Cross. Instead it's a car-combat game set in a zombie apocalypse. Actually, I can see how those two can easily go together.
