Playing a game with its developer is a high-wire act. If you're just not digging on the experience, putting on a brave face and trying not to be overtly negative can take considerable effort. However, I had a ball playing Hard Corps Uprising with Associate Producer Kenji Yamamoto of Konami at Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade CES event tonight. And our enthusiasm was infectious, because we were both smiling and laughing through the entirety of the first stage.
Contra has been missing in action for quite sometime now, and with the current trend of next gen reboots/remakes/re-imaginings, it would be a perfect series to revive. David
Ugh, we need another Contra and need one now. One of gaming's most important series right here.
Conversations this week revolve around Phil Fish leaving gaming and cancelling Fez 2, a Contra game you probably have never heard of and Zach Braff hate-speak. Despite our best efforts the show somehow spirals back into a discussion about GTA V.
4 bosses in the first stage?! Definitely sounds like Contra ;)Can't wait to check out Hard Corps: Uprising!
You could be the ultimate gaming dynamo and these games are likely to send you crying and hurling your controller at the wall.
Demon's Souls is the toughest I played on PS3. Awesome game btw.
Call of duty games? Haha! Absolutely not, WAW is the exception but the others (namely the latest ones) were easy on Vet. I should also add COD4 to the hard list, the last level has become fairly infamous to completionists and trophy hunters.
Demon's Souls was not too hard for me. Maybe because I chose magic, but for the majority of the game I was careful.
Killzone 2 on Elite difficulty, oh boy the last level before you face Colonel Radec.
Edit - and ofc Demon's Souls, but at the same time so great and rewarding!
