I got to contribute a little piece to 4cr’s “Games Rebels Play” posting for August. If you’ve been listening to the Powetcast (and why the heck WOULDN’T you be?), you’ve heard me go on about Penny Arcade: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness — and for good reason! Well, I do it again! Take a gander:

Since the alphabet is the building block of our language, the Powet Alphabet is the building block of what makes us geeks.

The year is 1987. J.M. DeMatteis and Keith Giffen had just been given the reigns of DC Comics ultimate team of heroes, The Justice Leage. They’re paired with a hot new artist, Kevin Maguire, and set out to bring Justice League to a scope its never reached before, joining the UN and becoming an truly global force. But epic tales of the world’s finest aren’t why this book is so well known and loved, its revered for being funny.

I’m not wild about IGN’s embed player. In fact, i think it stinks so, may want to just click here and watch the video on their site where its not a window in a window in a window.
That out of the way, its a pretty cool ad. Watch the Rookie go from bootcamp to the battlefield, all with visual effects beyond what we go in the Halo 3 Landfall ad.

The game drops on September 22, be sure to Pre-order Halo 3: ODST in order to get access to Sgt Avery Johnson as a playable character.

If you want to catch up on ODST stuff, go beyond the jump for game footage with Nathan Fillion, Alan Tudyk, Adam Baldwin, and Tricia Helfer.

Gyruss is a shooter from Konami. Although Gyruss was originally an arcade game, but like other NES ports of arcade games, players would be more fond of its NES counterpart. Gyruss’s gameplay can best be described as ‘Galaga in a funnel’. You’re assaulted by waves of enemies, and you roll around the screen in a circle blasting at them. You travel throughout the solar system, eventually making your way toward Earth from Neptune. The NES version of the game adds new soundtrack tunes (including a remixed version of J. S. Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor that’s pretty catchy), a more detailed plot, new power ups, boss battles, an ending, and extra stages (including the former planet Pluto and the Sun). Like other games of its type, Gyruss has little setting apart from the rest of the pack (beside the cool music and 3d effects), but you’ll enjoy it while it lasts.
