New Pokémon Sheet: Darmanitan

Geez, this took a lot longer than I thought it would, but I guess doubling the frames does that to a Sheet...

Anyway, in case you couldn't tell, this time I made Darmanitan. I love Darmanitan! He's this awesome Ape Pokémon, what's not to love!? I don't know what I love more, his Popeye Forearms, or his Flaming Eyebrows...Either way, he's awesome!

Next up is one of the only Normal-Type Pokémon who is able to learn the move Twister through Level Up

VGM of the Week #26

If I could post like 5 VGMs today I totally would! But since I can't I'm gonna post something that's been waiting in the wings for a long time and isn't music from Silver Surfer for the NES or anything from the soundtrack of my life about 3 weeks ago!

I actually really like the SNES version of this song for Dracula X, but this is pretty much the definitive version of it. A really slick song that gets you into the mood of vampire killing in the first seconds of the level. Variations of this song is after the jump.

The Top Ten Best Beat 'Em Ups

Despite being a dying genre, the Beat ‘Em Up is one of my all-time favorite genres of video games. Very few things come even close to being as satisfying as walking down the streets of some run down city and pounding criminal’s faces in with fists, kicks, pile drives and lead pipes. They’re such a product of the ‘90’s, it’s a shame they haven’t been as prominent ever since the arcade went out of style. Since most Beat ‘Em Ups were designed to be as hard as possible to rob kids of their quarters, they were everywhere in the heyday of the arcade and boy, do I miss those days.

The manliest of beat 'em ups.

So, combined with my love of Beat ‘Em Ups, including recently doing a Let’s Play of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and attempting to play through some Japanese Sailor Moon game, I’m doing a list of what I consider to be the ten best Beat ‘Em Ups. These are the games that are the most fun to play and simply bring the most joy when bashing somebody’s head in and eating floor chicken.

Now, since I’m not a professional game journalist and don’t get to just play whatever games I want for free, there are some pretty big games missing from this list (The most prominent being Castle Crashers and the fan-favorite, God Hand) simply because I haven’t played them. I’m sure if I had, I would have put them on this list but since I haven’t, unfortunately they aren’t here. So take it all with a grain of salt, is what I’m saying.
