Ny episode af AVGN

AVGN, Angry Video Game Nerd, eller bare James Rolfe, fra cinemassacre.com er atter tilbage med endnu et afsnit af sit populære internetshow, som handler om en meget arrig og bitter nørd, der anmelder og fokuserer på datidens dårlige eller latterligt svære spil og konsoller. Afsnittet handler om Ghost n' Goblins, en NES-klassiker, som bestemt er notorisk for sin ubarmhjertige sværhedsgrad. Vi er mange, som har fæle minder om dette spil! Se med når Nørden giver spillet en sand endefuld i bedste 8-bit stil!

Det er en fornøjelse at se James Rolfe tilbage i rollen som Nørden. Håber at se mange flere!

English version

AVGN, Angry Video Game Nerd, or simply James Rolfe, at cinemassacre.com has returned yet again with a new episode of his popular internet show about a very angry and bitter nerd who has taken on the quest of reviewing bad or ridiculously difficult games from the past. This episode is about Ghost n' Goblins, an NES classic, which is mostly known for being relentless in its difficulty. There are many of us with sad memories of this game! Watch as the Nerd nukes the game in true 8-bit style!

It's truly great to see James Rolfe back in action as the Nerd. I hope to see many more!

Double Dragon slår til igen

Double Dragon. Et spil som vækker mange gode minder fra en fjern barndom, som blot syntes at være længere og længere borte. Især Double Dragon II: The Revenge står som en sikker succes i min bog, men den tredje kunne vi alle formentligt have undværet. Bimmy? Ikke så fedt et spil. Ualmindeligt vanskeligt at gennemføre, faktisk! Et liv? Hvor gik det dog galt?

Men nu er der godt nyt! Det oprindelige Double Dragon får nu (endnu) en reboot i form af Double Dragon: Neon, som udkommer på både XBL og PSN inden længe og vil koste os den nette sum af ca. 60 kr. eller 800 Microsoft Points. Jeg skriver endnu, idet det er anden gang (mig bekendt), at spillet får en reboot på de nye konsoller, men denne gang ser det dog mere udførligt ud end ved sidste forsøg. Tjek gameplay-traileren ud nedenfor og spørg dig selv, om ikke det er tids til atter at lade næverne tale i ægte gadekampe? Det tror jeg faktisk, at det er! Og nu er det blot tid til at gøre det rigtige: Reboot efterfølgeren. Reboot The Revenge!




English version

Double Dragon. A game that many of us remember dearly from a distant childhood. Especially Double Dragon II: The Revenge stands as one of my favourite games on the NES back in the day, but the third outing could have been a bit better. Bimmy? Yeah, it wasn't the best game in the series. It was kind of brutal, now that I think about it. Extremely difficult to complete, in fact! One life? Where did things go wrong?

But now there is great news! The original Double Dragon is seeing another reboot in the form of Double Dragon: Neon on both XBL and PSN and it will cost $9.99 or 800 Microsoft Points. I write "another" because this will be the second time, as I recall, that the game is being rebooted, but this time it does look a bit more accomplished than the previous attempt. Check out the gameplay trailer above and ask yourself if it isn't time once again to wave the fists of fury in true street fights? I believe it is! And now they need to do what's right: Reboot the sequel. Reboot The Revenge!
