Spelunky looks amazing. Hoping for a Steam release soon. (I know about the PC version)

 

[StuBurns]

It makes sense to show the calibrations, if it's an irritating aspect of the game, you should be made aware of that.

 

[WrenchNinja]

I know, but if they had used the American spelling its makes the portmanteau obvious and easy to know how to pronounce.

Maybe Americans should quit spelling theatre wrong

The in-game cutscenes in that second RE shooter... good god. Aggressively boring.

TIP OF THE ICEBERG.

Believe me, it only gets increasingly worse as it goes on.
Despite my hypocrisy, I really loved Dead Space: Extraction. I felt it was a solid lightgun game that managed to tell its story quite well. Miles and away better than the two RE lightgun games on wii.

QL: Resident Evil Chronicles HD Collection Ryan and Patrick (45 min)

*Man we don't need to read dumb tool tips, we know how to play games man*

*how do I throw grenade?*

DS Extraction still is the better Wii-port lightgun game on PS3.

At least I imagined Rise shooting leeches on a train during the quicklook

 

[Curufinwe]

In the PS3 Trophies Guide for Umbrella Chronicles the writer is adamant that the game is actually much easier with a Dual Shock 3.

Quick Look: London 2012 - The Official Video Game of the Olympics - Ryan / Vinny - 41:03

 

[Data West]

Skateboarding has been fighting for the Olympics for years but TRAMPOLINING gets in

hahaha

 

[HamPster PamPster]

I am stunned by how good the Olympic game looked. By the end of the quick look I was just about to order it from amazon.

Olympic games are the unsung heroes of video games. They are almost always a good time. I thought the last winter games one was really good, the skiing in first person was fantastic

Different dev. Last few games were Eurocom. This one is Sega Australia.

 

[Live Free or Die]

THANKS A LOT VINNY! NOW BRITAIN IS AHEAD IN MEDALS!

It seems inevitable, doesn't it.

 

[Hot Coldman]

It seems inevitable, doesn't it.

I say it's in the Humble Bundle after next.

 

[Typographenia]

Ryan Davis was into the olympics before it was cool.

edit: Ryan's reaction time is so much better than mine. I would have gotten like four in that skeet shoot total. Geez, so fast.

 

[Anatoli Bacharach]

Woah! The QL prompted me to look up some olympic facts; did you know the current world record for high jump is 2.45 meters and was set in 1993? Damn son.

Best to stop now, before I fall into a Wikipedia hole.

 

[Loxley]

I love comparing the boxart for these sorts of games between countries, sometimes the differences are pretty comical. We in the US get this, a bunch of muscular American Gods crushing London like Godzilla:

....and the UK/all of Europe get...this...

SEGA: "Yeah, if you could just go ahead and remove that one black guy for Germany and France, that'd be great."

 

[Majine]

....and the UK/all of Europe get...this...

Someone should tell IOC that these guys are playing for several countries.

 

[Jamie OD]

I notice that in the German cover they kept the volleyball player American.

And the Kayaker is a UKer.

 

[Wildesy]

Disappointing that Ron GROOTAARTS failed to qualify. That guy could've been anything but he just wasn't committed enough.

 

[Papercuts]

If it does it won't be this year.

 

[Kweh]

I was hoping Vinny would comment on his name lol, but he didn't

...which doesn't exist anymore because it was shuttered immediately after this game shipped.

*pours one out*

 

[pelican]

I don't understand why they don't calibrate/setup multiple controllers before they record? That shit is rarely entertaining, why the hell would be want to see it?

And then go and make a mountain out of a molehill. I bought both of these games of PSN and was up and running in now time. It isn't that hard.

Quality of Quick Looks is so hit and miss these days. Sometimes I don't know why I bother. The novelty of enjoying them for me has evaporated.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Skateboarding has been fighting for the Olympics for years but TRAMPOLINING gets in

for over 12 years now they have been trying to get in. No luck

QL was fun though

Sounds like an Australian developer alright.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Don't squirt me out

Quick Look: Spelunky (53:16) (Jeff / Brad / Patrick)

Surprised this wasn't posted yet.

Once again a quicklook inspired me to buy a game. The deathmatch thing alone was worth it.

Unadvertised Quick Look:

Quick Look: Frogger: Hyper Arcade Edition - Jeff / Brad - 13:21

oh god he was right on twitter, such a Daft Punk rippoff

 

[SmithnCo]

Looks okay, way better than the last crappy downloadable Frogger game.

 

[Mr. F]

Kind of a bummer when Quick Looks are actually quick, but I don't think I'd care to see more than 13 minutes of Frogger anyway.

 

[Salsa]

game looks awful and the art style is all over the place, cant see how they'd call the visuals "well put together"

everyone trying to ride that Pacman CE train, and being really cheap about it

 

[Lijik]

Jeff not givin Frogger 3D its due makes me
But for a new arcade frogger, the game looks alright I guess.

 

[Megasoum]

The only good thing about that quicklook is that it made me go back to that song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5R2UKy5b-g

 

[RomanticHeroX]

Going purely on that QL I'm gonna say that game is at least $5 too much. The spinning disc loading screen is really great though.

 

[firehawk12]

Frogger looks so dumb. lol

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Frogger looks so dumb. lol

 

[Majine]

The Frogger QL made me go back and watch Pacman CE QL again. Still so good.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Avatar get.

 

[firehawk12]

They tried to make Frogger into Drake?!

 

[Lijik]

They tried to make Frogger into Drake?!

Man if only they got Nolan North to voice that terrible incarnation of Frogger

 

[RomanticHeroX]

They tried to make Frogger into Drake?!

I'd say they took inspiration for Drake from Frogger.

 

[Ozone]

oh god he was right on twitter, such a Daft Punk rippoff

"Froggy's Lament" is the only song you need in that game.

GO FROGGY GO

 

[Antiwhippy]

Am I the only one who think that the songs in the Frogger game is pretty good? Daft punk rip off notwithstanding.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I remember having Temple of the Frog on GBA.
That game was terrible and way harder than it needed to be. I know I was never able to beat it. Konami trying to make Frogger a mascot is still one of the darker pieces in gaming history.


ANYWAY
How would you guys rate Giant Bomb as a whole including the community?
I ask because, way back in the day I used to post on 1up.
I had a lot of good times, reading the articles and talking to people on the boards. But then they merged everything together and it just ruined it.

I've been looking for a long time for a good game website with both news and a board for the times I don't feel like conversing on neogaf.

I thought it would be destructoid, but IMO I really don't like their forums.

 

[Antiwhippy]

If you are going to giantbomb for the news and community you're going there for the wrong reasons.
