ZTGD Review - Blitz: The League II

ZeroTolerance writes:

"The biggest change to the series when it donned the subtitle "The League" was the inclusion of a story mode penned by Peter Egan of Playmakers fame. The sequel continues this trend with a more fleshed out campaign mode that offers a few nice innovations, but mostly sticks to the formula laid by its predecessor. This time around you are thrust into the shoes of up-and-coming player Franchise as you create your own team, give them a name and logo and prepare to take on the league one team at a time. One of the cooler features this year for player customization is a mock press conference where your answers to a series of questions will determine your play style and attributes. This makes a lot more sense than manipulating a set of sliders and really draws you into the character."

Pros
+ The tackles are visceral
+ Campaign mode feels more fleshed out
+ Frank Caliendo is hilarious

Cons
- Visuals lack "wow" factor
- Caliendo repeats far too often

Gaming’s worst ball-busting moves

XbigyGames writes: Everyone knows that attacking a man’s groin (unless paid to do so) is a cardinal sin and should never be done, even in a fight. One swift blow to a man’s gonads can drop him to the floor. Even the biggest and burly men have this weak point. Duke Nukem may claim that he has “balls of steel”, but I bet a jab to his junk would make him cry like a 12 year old girl.

On this page you can find a list of the top ball-busting moves in video games. These range from the good, the bad to the downright weird. Grab a pillow, protect yourself and enjoy reading.

With the sickle attack in Manhunt, he'd swing the sickle round the wrong way! Always thought that looked odd.

Yet Another Gaming Show Episode 230 – Axe Confirmed

We are taking a listener poll. In the studio upgrade (coming soon!) should we or should we not fix the apparent gas leak? Leave your answers below.

Another week, another 90 minutes of video-game based rambling, in-jokes, and various gypsy curses. To say that this is an organized show is like saying Mike is funny. Which is no. Really not funny. We do manage to squeeze in a review of GameDevStory, talk about various legal stupidities, and even discuss the potential of a Missle Command movie.

This week’s art is from the often brilliant and always insane Axe Cop.

Yet Another Gaming Show is now available on Stitcher, the free podcast radio app for your better smart phones. Much like GameDevStory, except Stitcher knows that a Ninja Adventure game would be genius.

Feel free to send comments, questions, and unveiled threats to [email protected] or leave comments in the post below. Also be sure to check out the forums for more discussion, follow us on Twitter, and beco...

Good god, that woman on the tracks just evaporates. That is one of the most gruesome kills I've seen!

the scrotum rupturing was sick in a bad way.

cayal5119d ago

Yeah the scrotum was weird.

thegreatest78845119d ago

God, that entire game was full of disgusting injuries. I just really didn't expect a scrotum rupture to be one. That caught me offguard the first time it happened.

LtSkittles5120d ago

I love the Fallout 3 one where you reverse pick-pocket a grenade/mine.

unknown1005120d ago

the scrotum one gave me nauseas.

thegreatest78845119d ago

Yeah, that is pretty gross. I was surprised they made it so graphic. The guy could just grab his crotch and scream, but no, they had to show innards and outards and liquids and blech!

Dave13515120d ago

haha I like the red dead redemption one the best

omicron0095119d ago

ruptured scrotum one is pretty brutal
