This almost slipped by me, though I've been waiting for the release. Raw Danger is the title of the English version of the sequel to Irem's Disaster Report, and it's only $15 at Amazon.com.

The cover looks pretty silly, and I've heard some amusing things about the localization (such as that in making the main characters blond, they inadvertently made most or all other people in the game blond as well).

You can also get the first game (which I recommend) for less than $20 through Amazon.com if you don't select Amazon.com itself as the seller.

I hope so too, because it will get banned here for sure (just like the first one, even though it was on the self for a good month before it was pulled).

Yeah, managed to get my hands on it back then. For all the criticism it gets, Manhunt is still a great gaming curio.

Some of the extra modes were pretty great!

I have to admit, Manhunt is one of those games I don't mind being banned. I know that's probably short-sighted of me; I just think it's a bad idea overall. I played the first game with a friend and didn't like the gameplay in the least; but more than that, I think the content actually is reprehensible. Previously the only game I considered to be truly burn-worthy was the more-racist-than-humanly-conceivable Ethnic Cleansing bullshit.

Speaking of games that never should have been released: watching this video of that 3DO "classic" Way of the Warrior—the Japanese version, no less!—brings up two important questions:

1) Back in the 90's, would the Japanese 3DO-buying public—all eleven of them—actually have known who White Zombie was?
2) Is it not supremely amazing that a game like Way of the Warrior (a) was released in Japan and (b) got a full Japanese translation?

There is something incredible about listening to the announcer shout, "SHU-AY-KEE JAY-KU WEENZU!" that makes me feel ashamed as a North American for being part of an audience that someone thought would like to play a game featuring such characters as "Shaky Jake" and "Ninja."

dessgeega, I'm surprised at you. PopCap produces shiny, high-quality knock-offs of successful games!

Not to mention that apparently cheap knock-offs of successful games can be monstrously profitable for no discernible reason.

I kind of want the Snood keychain, just so it can be the ugliest thing I own.

Also: Good gravy, Shaper, I'm not going to be able to concentrate for the rest of the day, now.

Jesus.

actually it's my mom's favorite too. it's still repackaged version of puzzle bobble. which she'll play with me whenever i have my jp-ps2 handy. it's just usually more convenient for her to play snood on her own computer.

I don't remember. My friend and I played it tag-team style when it was released. I really forgot how far we got; he played more if it than I did (I became bored more quickly).

Wow, no shit, huh? It's about time developers start giving some of the rabid game-music people from the net a kick at the can. Now, when are we getting a Mega Man compilation with all Minibosses music?

Cycle, you're not the first person I've known who didn't like Virt. I'm not even involved in the OCR community in the least; care to explain?

I am not a much of a chiptunes fan, but this seems like a positive/logical thing for larger companies to be doing.

The Gamer's Quarter officially approves of Virt. He's good people.

There's a whole history to the drama of the place, and it isn't alleviated by the fact that it churns out sup-par remixes of the same games constantly.

I'm really not up to going into it as the moment.
