Cosplayer extraordinaire Jessica Nigri garnered the most votes to become the real-life version of Juliet, the arse-kicking heroine of horror action game Lollipop Chainsaw. That victory comes with responsibilities, like posing at parties during promotional events and making commercials.
Diabolical Pitch, if you haven’t been keeping up, is the horror baseball game for Kinect conceived by the oddballs at Grasshopper Manufacture. Kotaku saw it at Tokyo Game Show last week, but here’s your first official trailer for the most curious Kinect game.
Suda 51 has made a career from combining batshit insane ideas with suggestive humour and Lollipop Chainsaw, which features a scantily clad cheerleader dismembering a zombie in half from the genitals up, is no exception.
Alright, alright – give me a break. I just find it hard to pass up pun opportunities such as this one. Just to clarify, Shadow of the Damned is the latest game from Japanese heavyweights Suda 51 (No More Heroes) and Shinji Mikami (Resident Evil), a game which features a gun called the ‘boner’ – a gun that you can fully upgrade into a ‘big boner’. Key point – it fires bones.
Suda Goichi is interesting chap, mainly because he somehow manages to draw inspiration from a variety of different media, before integrating it into some of the most interesting video game designs around. His current inspirations? The Smiths (almost predictably quirky) and Dead Space 2 (strangely mainstream)!
It may be hard to take Shadows of the Damned‘s journey into the depths of Hell too seriously, when you have a disembodied ex-demon skull named Johnson – who can transform into a weapon dubbed the Boner – as your sidekick. When demonic pubic hair and eyeball-eating baby heads serve as key obstacles in this horror game, you’ll find it hard not to giggle with delight.
