In this special 'Sadistic Santa' edition of the Black Panel Podcast, the team discusses the horrid presents they have received for Xmas, including Farming Simulator, Duke Nukem Forever and Legendary.
Looking for great games for the holidays?
In honor of Thanksgiving and real turkeys everywhere that have laid down their lives in the service of your belly, here is a small collection of PC gaming 'turkeys' we've reviewed over the last year to avoid this holiday season.
Blair Herter announces the winner of G-Phoria '09 Game Most Deserving of a Uwe Boll Movie. Nominees include 'Golden Axe: Beast Rider', 'Castlevania Judgment', 'Legendary', 'Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayer' and 'X-Blades'.
NOTHING deserves a Uwe Boll movie. That guy is simply atrocious at everything he does. I can't believe how he can make a move so stupid, I'm not kidding I got sick after watching House of the Dead. It's like he actually wants to fail. A monkey with a camera and 10 bucks can make a better movie than this guy.
"Until the law was changed in 2005, Boll was able to acquire funding thanks to German tax laws that reward investments in film. The law allowed investors in German-owned films to write off 100% of their investment as a tax deduction; it also allowed them to invest borrowed money and write off any fees associated with the loan. The investor was then only required to pay taxes on the profits made by the movie; if the movie loses money, the investor got a tax writeoff."
And in his own words, "Maybe you know it but it's not so easy to finance movies in total. And the reason I am able to do these kind of movies is I have a tax shelter fund in Germany, and if you invest in a movie in Germany you get basically fifty percent back from the Government."
He basically makes money even if its crap, which all of them have been.
I've already seen an Onechanbara movie. Made in Japan and campy as hell but I enjoyed it thou :)
Looks like another The Darkness/ Dark sector kind of game. And after looking at Far cry2 editor video the graphics of this one looks pathetic.
Edit: You can say more like haze. Too human has much better graphics and gameplay than boring uninspiring generic fps shooting.
I have to be honest. As a PS3 owner these graphics look very underwhelming. I'm not impressed at all. The Conduit looks almost this good!
Edit at below: What are you talking about? What machine did I blame for the graphics of what game?
this game looks generic
the sad thing about this game is that is probably going to need a 2gig install or more
wow .. the graphics are really really last-gen.
i know - i´m a graphics whore but that´s how it is when you own a PS3 ;-)
This game really doesn't look that bad, there are a lot of things going on on the screen which takes up a good ammount of processing power moving those models around since it's in "real time" (your character can still move around) while a lot of action is going on. It does look a little on the generic side, but I have a soft spot for mythology so it's sort of interesting to me, where it may not be for others. I'm not saying it will be a system seller but I think it will be a decent game overall if they polish it so the framerate stays consistant on the consoles.
