Points of Interest – 5/9/07
- Figures.com has a review up for the Nightwatcher Raphael action figure with motorcycle from the toy line based on the recent TMNT movie.
Looks good, I wonder if it’s available around here…
- Warren Ellis has once again updated the Castlevania: Dracula’s Curse blog (which everyone else only now seems to be picking up on. Haha, slowpokes), this time regarding a discussion which came up concerning voice actors.
I’m not sure what language they speak in Transylvania (Romanian, I’d guess?), so unless they subbed the whole thing, it seems like a moot point anyway. Just have them speak plain English for maybe Trevor, and spice up accents elsewhere as needed if characters come from far-off lands.
- GameTrailers and ScrewAttack.com bring you the Top 10 Best and Worst Gaming Peripherals.
#1 should probably come as no surprise, but it’s kind of surprising that the Guitar Hero controller ranked so relatively low.
- Day 2 of Games Radar’s “Hate Week” looks into the longstanding pasttime of the System Wars.
- A GR quiz is set to help answer “what type of gamer are you?”
Sadly, it doesn’t use any sort of form or anything, so you have to keep track of your answers and go to a corresponding link. Kind of weak, in that regard.
- $1000 for a Wii?
There are some neat collectible and customized items haunting eBay and the like, and GR takes a look at some of the more pricey Nintendo paraphernalia that proliferates to pilfer the pennies from your pockets more promptly than a plumber through a pipe.
- Another Games Radar article (don’t complain, these are taking up the slack for a slow news day) takes a look at seven games which are more fun to watch than they are to play.
- RMC at Go Nintendo (I was kidding about “go to Hell” yesterday, but I really do enjoy Balloon Fight) takes a look at how artistic design is the Wii’s best friend.
- Want a Fierce Deity of your very own, but aren’t sure if dropping $130 is justifiable to show your allegiance to Link?
Worry not, for this review shall help shed some light on the nature of this beast.
