More Games of 2008

So here are some more intriguing games coming to the plate in 2008: if you know of anymore that look mildly interesting then by all means, tell us about them:

1. Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days for the DS coming out Summer of 2008 in Japan, I'll let the video tell it:



2. Metal Slug 7 for the DS probably in 2008. Looks the same, but the same is good, so be on the lookout.

3. King of Fighters: Collection: Orochi Saga for the Wii



4. Advance Wars: Days of Ruin for the DS in January of the new year:

2008, video game's bees knees'

2008 is shaping up to be one of the best years in gaming history. You've probably heard and researched the big games coming out, GTA IV, Super Smash Bros: Brawl, Street Fighter IV, etc. But how about those ones a little under the radar or on your periphery? Here's a list of games you want but didn't even know about:

1. LittleBigPlanet: So maybe you've heard, but this PS3 game coming out early 2008 looks just quirky and imaginative enough to have me thinking about purchasing this otherwise pointless machine. (That and Final Fantasy XIII).

2. Starcraft II: Coming out for the ole PC presumably in 2008. People are still playing Starcraft I like crazy.

3. Dead Space: Since my favorite movie genre is space horror, I'm quite excited about this particular gem scheduled for release late 2008 on the PS3 and 360.

4. Spore: This is the one everyone should be looking forward to, Will Wright's (simcity) game of epic proportions. Starting off as a single-celled organism you grow into a galaxy conquering civilization. It looks a little too cartoonish right now, so let's cross our fingers.

5. Legendary: Early 2008 for PC/360/PS3, fighting minotaurs and werewolves with a shotgun. Period.

And a few more worthy of mention: Fracture, Prototype, Borderlands, and Infamous.

More on all this later.

Street Figher IV

If you haven't read the 14 page article in EGM, I recommend picking it up for that alone. The gameplay looks sweet; the new director, Ono, wants to return to the feel of Street Fighter II, and it looks like he has captured that feel while also revamping the series. Check out the video and decide for yourself.

Obligatory Merry Christmas from the Colossi

As the new year looms around the corner, so do the Colossi, with new year's resolutions of our own.

Merry Christmas.

Updates

We've made some positive changes to the site, including layout and content. More people have been added to the Ritual Killings list; you can see what the Colossi are playing and recommend; and some more reviews are up; including Virtua Fighter 5, Lego Star Wars: The Complete Series, and Viva Pinata: Party Animals.

We are designing shirts and other merchandise which will be available after the holiday period has ended so be on the lookout for that. We've also got some more interesting features that will be revealed shortly. Until then, keep gaming and always Fear the Colossi.

Mass Effect, Resident Evil 4, Super Mario Galaxy...

The Colossi have conquered these titles recently, and they all blew us away. The Christmas season has slowed progress down a bit, being that there are only two of us, and immortal though we are, we are not omnipresent.

Merry Christmas mortals.

New Games

We played a spirited game of Dungeons and Dragons this past evening which we tape recorded. Red is a tough DM but we managed to survive.

As for video games: there will be a massive update either right before or right after Christmas and from then on we will be steadily updating the site, but right now it has become difficult to do much of anything. We are playing Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, Super Mario Galaxy, FF XII: Revenant Wings, Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, RE4 (which apparently never ends) and loads of old school PS1 games. Reviews, articles, contests, and more unmentioned items will be here shortly, after your endless mortal holidays are over.

For now, name this game:

Rolling along

We've been somewhat stagnant lately when it comes to updating and the like, but we haven't been inactive. Reviews are ready to be posted and updates for the site will be along momentarily, got some really cool ideas in the works. We've also been playing a plethora of games; Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, Resident Evil 4 (still); as well as some old school gems, FF Tactics, FF V, VI; and we are planning a very large D&D game this Friday which we will record and put up on the site, more for our own amusement than anything.

After the holiday season we will have DarkColossi.com merchandise available to purchase, so be prepared for that.

Get on the forums and tell us what you're playing right now and who you are so we know what kind of rabble we're dealing with when we write this drivel.
