[JAPAN ONLY] No More Heroes 2 Gets Collector's Edition

Fuck you, Japan.

I'm sorry, I can't stay mad at you. I love you, Japan. I love sushi. I love your women (I've been suffering from Yellow Fever for many years now). I love your games. Sadly, they get to taunt us with things like this: the No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle Hopper's Edition. You get:

• A movie made by Suda51 called No More Heroes 1.5 
• The soundtrack on CD
• A "fan book"

Not sure what the fan book would be, but if you pre-order, you also get an erotica comic book. It goes for ¥8,980 ($101). It's out on October 21, same day as the "Black Box" edition, which is just the game for $81.

This isn't the first time an entry in the NMH franchise that got something awesome.

[REVIEW] A Lot of Games, Part 1

This the first part in a four-part series of multiple, micro reviews. Over the course of the past 5 months, there have been numerous games that have come out that I have not reviewed, save for Heavy Rain and Darksiders. I have sixteen games lined up for reviews, so get ready for a smorgasbord of reviews coming to your face-hole.

It's been a while since my last review, and I have honestly tried to write reviews for several games I've played recently (Splinter Cell: Conviction is one), but the reviews just didn't fit cohesively with my overall writing scheme (witty remark-serious undertone-joke at someones expense-build up-LOVE/HATE-go out with a bang). So, here's a bunch of games I've played recently, kind of like a micro review.

I gave up on No More Heroes 2

Done. I'm finished. I can't fucking stand Pizza Batt or whatever his name is any more. I thought the samurai on the bike was hard. I thought Nathan Copeland was hard. None compare to the horseshit strategies Suda 51 thought were fun during the final battle. 3 phases? Why do games have bosses with multiple phases anymore? I don't get it. Stop doing it. They get more and more bat-shit crazy each level up (pun not intended), and I cannot take it anymore.

Fuck the final boss in NMH2.
