Bayonetta (X360) Review

• Game: Bayonetta
• Developer: Platinum Games
• Price: $59.99 (Buy It)
• Release Date: 1/5/2009

Bayonetta is a Japanese game. It has a unique style that you would never see from a Western-made game and it delivers a wonderful and enjoyable experience. I won’t say that I understood what was going on in any way, but it was ridiculous, funny, and overtly sexual. I never expected to enjoy the character that is Bayonetta, but I ended up finding her quite interesting and I hope we’re lucky enough to see more of her in the future. It may sound odd, but I think she’s actually a better female lead than someone like Lara Croft because while Bayonetta is a very sexualized character; she knows it and chooses to embrace it. Lara Croft is an adventurer supposedly grounded in real life who apparently must bring her makeup kit and skin-tight clothing as she’s off risking her life.

Game of the Year Award Winners 2009

2009 is officially over and it’s about time I posted the winners of the Pixelated Sausage ’09 Gaming Awards. If you listened to the latest episode of Distributed Failure then you already know the outcome, but If you haven’t (what are you waiting for?) then this will all be new to you. We received twenty one votes in total and we had some very close categories. With all that said, it’s about time I revealed the answers.

DF Question of the Week: 12/23/2009

So hot, want to touch the heiney...

Another week and another question for all you loyal listeners; we plan to try and keep these coming on a weekly basis. What’s a better topic to talk about just before Christmas than nudity? Jesus came out of Mary’s nude vagina and was fully nude with his little pecker flopping about and whatnot right? (How many people did I possibly offend right there?) Wow, I feel rather overwhelmed by all the question marks.

Rogue Warrior (X360) Review

I did my best to censor the dialogue for all the little boys and girls out there...

• Game: Rogue Warrior
• Developer: Rebellion Developments
• Price: $59.99 (Buy it)
• Release Date: 12/1/2009

“Suck my balls, my hairy fucking big balls. Wrap ‘em around your fucking mouth.” That quote pretty much sums up the entirety of Rogue Warrior. It’s absolutely ridiculous and definitely not for children or the faint of heart. Is it a good game? No, but it achieves that wonderful B-movie vibe thanks to terrible writing and voice acting.

Red Dead Redemption: Would You Like Some Gameplay With That?

It's like a video game orgasm...at least for moi.

The first video (to my knowledge) with actual gameplay from Red Dead Redemption has arrived. It looks like the game will play a lot like GTAIV and in my eyes that's not a bad thing. I was a fan of the manual shooting system in GTAIV and I look forward to a hopefully enhanced version of that system. I'm extremely pumped for the release of this game and while April doesn't seem that far away; I feel like it's going to be an eternity until I get my hands on some good ol' fashioned Western fun.

P.S. - The gameplay video comes with more clicks. Oh my Godz...fishing for clicks!

IPhone: Epic Pet Wars Review

Ultimate Pet War: Halo the Pug vs. Free Willy

• Game: Epic Pet Wars (v1.5.1)
  
• Developer: Miraphonic
• Price (at time of review): Free - $40.00
• Release Date: 10/1/2009

Games like Epic Pet Wars have been around for a while now and exist mainly on Facebook. The procedure is rather simple and routine; level up, buy better equipment, and level up some more. This format has been used for many games of the same type; an example being the Mob and Vampire games that clog up the App Store. Epic Pet Wars, or EPW, manages to distinguish itself in a crowded field. It has a large amount of pets to choose from; you actually partake in the battle as opposed to simply clicking a button and it has a huge community.

The Sausage Dump #4: Mexicans Like Sausage Too

Welcome to the Sausage Dump! Episode 4 is now live for your listening pleasure and it's a great rebound after the terribleness that was episode 3. We hate on even more things this week and bring back Dan Dizzle as our special guest once again, but that's not all folks; Dan (aka The Mexican) has agreed to join the dumpage as a permanent host! I hope you enjoy his Mexicanness and if you don't; you better get used to living without tacos and corn in your diet.

If Neglecting Your Real Life Pet Wasn't Enough

I want a cat more than I probably should...

Now you'll be able to neglect your very own Avatar Pet! Tomorrow (12/3/09) will bring the first ever Avatar Pets in the form of dogs, cats, a monkey and even a pony (get a full list from the link below). I know that many people feel that Avatars are stupid and buying items/clothes for them is stupid, but no one is forcing you to buy a single item.

Red Dead Redemption: The Last Great Hope For Westerns

Nothing but a beautiful, beautiful game.

Red Dead Redemption is the successor to Red Dead Revolver, but the only thing the games have in common is the name. I was a fan of the first game, but it always felt a bit too linear and not as open as I would like from a Western game. Redemption has obviously solved this problem by throwing the game into the ever-crowded open-world genre, but they also seem to be doing so much more.
