Rant the Second: Rumble Ramble

So... a new Dead or Alive game is coming out for the PSP soon. No, it's not a fighting game... no, it's not a volleyball game either. It's called Dead or Alive Paradise and it's... causing a bit of controversy. The main idea of DoA Paradise is you get to watch the DoA girls hopping around in bikinis and take pictures of them. There's also a casino-esque minigame along with it, too. Kinda like Pokemon Snap for... adults? Anyway, some people think "HOMG HOT BABES IN BIKINIS ROLLING AROUND! AWESOME!" while other people are going "HOMG PEOPLE PARADING WOMEN AS SEX OBJECTS! NOT AWESOME!". Personally... I dunno. You've heard my say on Fanservice games which usually get a thumbs down from me for not being innovative enough.
I facepalmed when I saw the game description.



Though you did have me at the hot blonde with the ribbon, Tecmo...

-coughs- Anyway! Ramble 2.

I've noticed a certain something with the releases on the PSP and on the DS. Back when I had full control over my DS, there would be a new release I could look forward to almost every two weeks or so. I mean, just this month alone, I've seen the new Ace Attorney game as well as Ragnarok DS. As for the PSP, not so.
There's a really long wait time between major releases.
This month, after Dante's Inferno, Lunar Silver Star Harmony and Blazblue come out, it'll be two months til the next game I'm looking forward to. Of course, there's a good thing to all this: I can focus on the games that just came out and getting all I can out of them before trying something new.
So... I think I'm actually enjoying my shift to the PSP... I can get more out of my games instead of not finishing a single one and ADHD-ing over to a new one the moment it becomes available...

Trailer: Tekken the Movie

For some reason, Hollywood seems to be cashing in on anime and gaming franchises lately. In the past year, we've seen a CGI version of Astroboy (Why was Tenma's name changed to Bill, for heaven's sake?), a live action version of Dragonball called Dragonball Evolution and another equally legendary flop, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Lee.
Now, sometime last year, I'd also heard of a sudden make of Tekken. Of course, I started to worry. Hollywood has released its share of fighting game related movies and none of them were enough to do the game justice. From the first Street Fighter film starring Jean Claue Van Damme and Raul Julia to the several Mortal Kombat films with another one rumored to be on the way, all of them look pretty darned shabby.

Then I saw this trailer:



I'm a little torn. For one thing, the characters look like the characters and I haven't seen anything over exaggerated yet..
But who knows. It looks pretty good but hmm... I'm still nervous.
