REVIEWS GRiD 2 Review
Grid 2 surprised me. I was going through the motions, getting used to the cars and their handling, when suddenly something happened. I started having fun.

State of Decay Review
Undead Lab's zombie-infested action title has finally hit XBLA. Is it worth a few of your precious Microsoft Points, or should you whack it over the head with a two-by-four and continue on your merry way?

E3: PC or rather about the lack of it
By Starling
Posted on 06/15/13
E3 2013 has been very silent for me. There's tons of media, but most of it buzzes past my ears without them catching the important keyword that my ears are fine tuned to receive: "PC" or "Personal Computer". Microsoft, Sony, EA and Ubisoft have all shown their cards...

DAILY MANIFESTO

Happy Japanese Kirby, Angry American Kirby

Posted on Monday, May 5 @ 17:55:46 Eastern by Duke_Ferris
Seriously, is it something in our water supply? Do the Japanese think that when Kirby comes to America, he suddenly gets angry and belligerent? Possibly even Xtreme?



I am U.S. Kirby! Grrrrrrrr! I will drop a bomb on you!

    I for one in particular like the Amazing Mirror, as all the other colored Kirdby-like characters also look happy, and having a phone is just ridiculous. The Canvas Curse I can understand cause he's pissed off for being in more 2D than he is used to. Its either marketing or a really bad misconception.

    I wonder how the designers discussed the art for Amazing Mirror... "Okay, we can use the Japanese box art, but we should ditch the red guy as the badass and give his sword to Kirby. And the hat. And lower the cellphone a bit. Kirby needs to hold it like Jack Bauer from 24. Yes... YES! America will eat this up!"

    I wonder if most Japanese would consider us angry, or just whoever does the Kirby box art.

    I find the second set of boxes especially funny. Look closely and you can see that the graphic designer of the American box moved the sword-wielding Kirby to the forefront and palette-swapped the two.

    I'd probably be a little perturbed myself, it's a long flight from Japan to America.

    Does thio work in reverse as well? By that I mean do Ratchet and Clank set fire to orphans and kick puppies on their Japanese covers?

    I named my dog Kirby. He ***** in the house, pukes in the corners, and barks constantly despite being hit for it. If my dog were Japanese, he'd poop outside, chew on bones and be cuddly... but he wouldn't know any English commands. :(

    American Kirby is angry because he has a stress lifestyle coupled with a bad diet

    It makes perfect sense. Japanese Kirby is happy, U.S Kirby is angry, a Canadian Kirby would be drunk and playing hockey, and a French Kirby would be naked and smoking.

    It's Nintendo's attempt to make Kirby look less of a retarded pink blob for the critical (meaning we criticize too much) US......

    Well think about it. In japan, weird is okay. In the US, ( Saying you Not knowing who kirby was) Kirby looks like gay pink puff ball. Which is true, but you would much rather as a pissed off one or the one who is happy sucking his oppents?
