Bayonetta2009
4 out of 5 starsApr 8, 2010
Bayonetta Publisher: Sega Developer: Platinum Games Platforms: Playstation 3, Xbox 360 (reviewed) From just looking at the packaging, it should be evident what to expect from a game like Bayonetta. From the flattering backside view on the back of the box to her playful wink printed on the disc, the feeling of overt sexuality is present before the game even starts.

Random Ramblings. A love letter to Elite Beat Agents.
Jul 24, 2008
Ok, maybe not a love letter, but that's not the point. Oh, this post sort of contains spoilers. But it's a rhythm-based game! What's there really to spoil? Growing up, there was only one game I would associate with the rhythm-based genre. I bet it comes as no surprise that that game was Konami 's Dance Dance Revolution . Almost in every arcade/gaming area I went into as a kid, there would alway...
