Best Games of the Year 2009: Erich’s List

pv09

As Dave explained in his kickoff post, ’tis the season for “best of” lists, and who are we to buck tradition?

Just to warn you, my list isn’t going to look like the rest of the lists you’ll see on this site over the next few days. Compare my picks with Dave’s and you’ll see what I mean. That’s because I don’t own all three consoles, or play a lot of new games. In these harsh economic times, can you blame me? Somehow, though, I managed to play a few—mostly on Nintendo systems. Go figure. Click through for the best of what 2009 had to offer the Asperschlager household.

BLAST PROCESSING! Episode 41: Tim’s Awakening

links_awakening_bp

Tim and Erich hop on board the BP Express for an hour-plus of gaming goodness. First stop, new games they’ve been playing, including a lengthy discussion about New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story, Modern Warfare 2, Borderlands, Doc Louis’s Punch-Out!!, and a DJ G-Raff musical Thanksgiving two-fer, Beatles: Rock Band and DJ Hero. In honor of The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks hitting shelves next week, the back half of the show is dedicated to Link’s handheld adventures, from the original Gameboy to his first dual screen incarnation. Will Erich turn out to be Ganon after all? Tune in to find out.

The adventure continues in the comments below, over in the DVD Verdict Jury Room forums, or by email at feedback@pixelverdict.com.

BLAST PROCESSING! Episode 22: Leper Dead (aka Zack Attack)

streets_of_rage_zack_attack

This week’s show feels a lot longer than it actually is, but is that good or bad? You decide. Erich, Dave, and Adam tackle a full slate of games in Now Playing, including Red Faction: Guerrilla, Mirror’s Edge, Far Cry 2, Crackdown, N+ and Punch-Out!! multiplayer, Boom Blox, and Metroid Fusion. After a couple of false starts (edited out and best forgotten), the gang tackles this week’s News rundown: a 360 update, Rock Band user-created content, The Beatles: Rock Band track list woes, black Wiis (but not for us), Streets of Rage hits the iPhone, and the Summer of Arcade gets pricey. The show usually ends with Symposium Ad Nauseum, but this week devolves into a brainstorming session for a Saved By The Bell brawler. Help us Jimmy Fallon, you’re our only hope!

Another week, another question for you guys: What would you like to see in a Saved By The Bell side-scrolling brawler? Tell us in the comments below, in the DVD Verdict Jury Room forums, or by emailing feedback@pixelverdict.com.

Review: Punch-Out!! (Wii)

I kill you right in your stupid face yo!

I punch you right in your stupid face yo!

The Charge:
Little Mac is Back!

Opening Statement:
If there ever was a case of a video game developer catching lightning in a bottle, it would be Nintendo with their late 80s exultant ode to pugilism, Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! on the original NES.  Picture the sweet science cranked all the way to 11, and that pretty much sums up what Punch-Out!! was all about.  Yet despite the simplicity of the game play, in 22 years, never again has a video game so depicted boxing with the same level  of success  as that beloved little NES title, not even its own sequel Super Punch-Out!! seven years later seemed to measure up.  After skipping two whole console generations, Little Mac and co have spent the past 15 years training for a comeback.  Following a brief flirtation with digital fisticuffs in Wii Sports Boxing, the Wii seemed like the natural stage for said return performance.  But is this once proud champion truly ready to step back into the squared circle, or is Punch-Out!! one fighter that should’ve spent a little longer in the gym?
