Docky steps back into the squared circle for one more fight - The Sarcastic fight of his life!

He’s old and out of shape but by the time Fight Night kicks off will he be Ready to Rumble? The odds are stacked against him, but in the greatest underdog story ever told  will the UnItalian Stallion be a Facebreaking Prizefighter or will he get Punched Out?

Step into Docky’s corner after the jump… [continue reading →]

Cheer up Wii owners! The first “Dead Rising: Chop Til You Drop” footage might have been yet another reminder of your console’s inferior hardware power, but at least you still have “MadWorld.” That game with the limited color palette that allows you to shove street signs through people’s heads. It looks like we’re all finally getting our wish of turning the Wii into a full-fledged murder simulator! Take that Reggie!

Straight from the Games Convention in Leipzig comes the newest trailer for the bloodiest game I’ve ever seen in black and white, MadWorld. Check it out, after the jump. [continue reading →]

As a regular reader of this site you probably have already seen our Wii Music twisted trailer a couple of days ago. It seems that people kind of like it. The sarcasm was felt around the interwebs and most people agreed with our take wholeheartedly. Not all. There have been a few responses that have been in defense of this fine, fine game.

Really???

Eye eye, what have we here then? It appears to be SCEE’s latest game: Eye Pet. Eye personally don’t have any pets (other than two dead goldfish), so the thought of having a virtual pet does appeal to me. Eye’ve tried Nintendogs, putting a leash on my friends and even befriending a pet lamp-post, but none even come close to the real thing.

However, my hopes of having a virtual e-dog, were slashed when I watched the Eye Pet trailer. Firstly, there were no dogs, with SCEE apparently favouring a monkey-ape-chimpanzee-orangutan-gorilla thing, and secondly, all the trailer shows is unmotivated torture of the virtual pet.

The offending trailer (and a timeline of the torture) can be found after the jump.

Golf seems like a pretty a relaxing sport. I don’t hit the links too often, but I have seen it played on television. I did play once, but I spent more time slugging brews and driving the cart than I did swinging a club. However, I assume that if it can be played by senior citizens, it can’t be too strenuous.

Unfortunately, we Americans despise any form of exercise. For many, walking from the cart to the tee would be an arduous task. Luckily, for us burger-loving Americans, the sport can be played from the comfort of our living rooms. The only problem is that I find virtual golf to be as exciting as smacking myself in the face with a rubber mallet.

However, even I got excited when Sony revealed the newest addition to the “Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds” roster. [continue reading →]

Remember a little game called Fallout 3? Oh, you do, well that’s half my post gone. Erm…well I’m not quite sure what to do now…

I’m pretty angry at news lately, mainly because there’s been so much of it today. But, lets not talk about today, and talk about yesterday, which, as seems to be the trend nowadays, was another incredible day in Sarcastic Gamer history. Incidentally, my biography ‘PSG: My Side - a Troubled Past’ will be on shop shelves as of 10pm tonight. I’ll be doing book signings, so if you want a signature, just send my very prolific and expensive publisher an email. You can find them here.

I am not a rich man. I don’t live in a golden castle protected by a moat filled with super alligators. Those certainly sound like worthy purchases, but they are impossible to justify due to my obsession with videogames.

The first half of the year was rather kind to my wallet. Through seven months, the only additions made to my current-generation gaming library were “Super Smash Bros. Brawl,” “Mario Kart Wii,” “Grand Theft Auto IV” and “Soul Calibur IV.” I plan on purchasing “Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty” and “Mercenaries 2: World in Flames,” but $75 for the entire month of August is not going to break the bank. That is what the rest of the year is for.

Though September starts the flood of quality titles, October looks to be more detrimental to my wallet. [continue reading →]

Ok, there’s a lot to go through here, but basically, on top of the announcement of the PSP-3000, Sony  unveiled a new 160GB PS3 SKU, a PS3 Keyboard with mouse input, a new music service for the PS3 and a way to transfer PS2 SingStar tracks over to the PS3. *Deep breath*.

Ok, well, if any of that interests you, I suggest you hit the jump.

Fresh out of the Leipzig Games Convention comes Sony’s announcement of the PSP-3000, a new model of the popular handheld that supersedes the, now retro, PSP-2000.

I know how much you guys love details, so I called them up and invited them to the worlds first ‘Picnic for Details’, which took place after the jump.

I got this from a new friend of the show, Chuck.  Aparrently Chuck had a little time on his hands and decided to animate some SG podcast in the Half-Life world.  Too funny.  I especially like the “Lono” character model.
