Lollipop Chainsaw interview: Yes, she is over 18

I had been looking forward to checkingLollipop Chainsawout all week at gamescom and I wasn’t disappointed. While Suda51 wasn’t on hand to show us the game himself, he did send us a video assuring that the game’s female protagonist was at least over 18. The game is everything I hoped it would be: dramatically over the top, amazingly violent while sickeningly cute all at the same time. We chatted with the producer to find out about the story, the combat, and we learned about some of the other big names involved with the development ofLollipop Chainsaw....

Mario Kart 8: What’s old is new and what’s new is old

What if you could counter the blue shell? Mario Kart 8has unveiled two “new” characters. They are Baby Rosalina and Pink Gold Peach. What the heck, right? You’re probably rolling your eyes at the lack of surprise with Baby Rosalina (who’s joining Baby Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Daisy), but Pink Gold Peach? Think Metal Mario, but a more precious, royal metal (gold) and then pink because femininity is pink even though I’m wearing a pink shirt right now and I amsupermanly....

Metroidvania-brawler Guacamelee! is guacamazing

Holy Guacamelee, Batman! Este juego es muy bueno. One of my favorite parts about Mexican cuisine is its cohesiveness. It’s a property found in all my favorite types of foods: Italian, Chinese, etc. You take a swath of semi-disparate elements, tie them together with a sauce, and boom; you have an enormous meal you’re able to gobble down in matrimonial mouthful. Just take guacamole, for example. Five or six ingredients plus spices come together to form a more perfect union, resulting in one cohesive dip so powerful Burt Ward’s Robin exalted it in the 1960’sBatmanTV series....

Monster in nun’s habit graces Skullgirls launch trailer

I would say that it’s like a sheep in wolf’s clothing, but I don’t know that the monster itself is any more intimidating than the nun would be. Skullgirlsis finally out, having released yesterday for PlayStation Network and today on Xbox Live Arcade. The launch trailer is focused on Double, the aforementioned monster who can mimic the moves of other fighters. Shang Tsu-…Doublelooks pretty cool, I guess. I’m particularly amused by theGradiusreference in the trailer, at the very least....

No Obsidian is still a bummer, but South Park: The Fractured But Whole looks great

Matt and Trey are still highly involved I was sad to hear at its E3 announcement last year thatObsidian, who developedthe originalSouth ParkRPG, was not returning forFractured But Whole(it’s actually Ubisoft San Francisco and South Park Digital Studios handling the sequel) — but it looks like the teams have built upon the already sturdy foundation well enough. This new behind-the-scenes featurette gives me a lot of hope, given how much Trey Parker and Matt Stone are seemingly involved and just about every facet of the project....

Puzzle game Dungeon Hearts hits Steam and iOS soon

RPG and match three Dungeon Hearts, a game that combines JRPG elements with match-three puzzle gameplay, is set to hit both Steam and iOS devices later this month on March 28th. I’m curious as to how exactly the gameplay will shake out, since the description mentions balancing “between offensive strikes and defensive maneuvers.” I can barely tell what is going on in this trailer, but I suppose that’s what they could be doing....

SDCC: DmC: There’s some hope for taunting, cameos

DmC: Devil May Cryproducer Motohide Eshiro and supervising director Hideaki Itsuno weren’t quite ready to spill the beans on what else might be in store for their upcoming Xbox 360, PS3 and PC title, but they at least gave us some hope forsomethingnew at next month’s gamescom.

Smarty Pants contest winners annouced

The holidays are finally over, and a few Dtoid community members have some cool swag coming in the mail because they were smart enough to get drunk on egg nog, put on some ugly pants and take a picture during those festive days. Turkey and booze make us do the strangest things sometimes, and now four Dtoiders will have ever-lasting proof of it. I asked the Dtoid community members to send me pictures of them inugly pants, and I got some pictures of someuglypants....
