[Now now Shane, Quackshot is an awesome game, SOR2 & 3 are better than 1, and Alex Kidd in High Tech World is not nearly as great as Miracle World and Shinobi World!]

Angry Hyphen Gamer Podcast - Commando 3 & 1942 impressions!

Angry-Gamer.net's latest podcast has Cameron and Clint and George on the mic' discussing a quick play of the upcoming games Commando 3 and 1942! Of course, this is after a very quick look at each,

About Commando 3:
"You shoot shit!"

"Instead of always in a Jeep and sometimes on foot, you're always on foot and sometimes in a Jeep!"

"It's fucking Commando! Everyone is gonna be reviewing this in the upcoming weeks and be "Yeah, it's an Assault Heroes Clone!" No, fuck you! This came first!"
And a small look at 1942 Joint Strike:
"Lots of slowdown, not so good graphics, and not much fun."
Commando 3 sounds great, a shame about 1942. Of course, it's not out yet - hopefully those graphical glitches get sorted out. It's probably the last of the Capcom games to come out anyhow, so it has a few good months of dev time.Listen to the whole podcast here.

IGN: 1942 - A Retrospective

With the announcement of 1942: Joint Strike coming to the Xbox Live Arcade, some younger readers may not even know of this classic Capcom franchise that essentially launched Capcom into the giant they are today.

IGN have written a nice and neat look back at the original 1942 and the several sequels based around the same era. Don't confuse 1942 with the bizarre and crazy selection of 1945 Strikers titles where blimps can turn into giant Robots!

Check it out below.

Capcom Digital Day - 1942: Joint Strike announced! :O

Capcom are on a revival kick for the Xbox Live Arcade - Bionic Commando, Commando 3, and now a brand new addition - 1942: Joint Strike!



1942 was originally made back in 1985, and was one of their first breakaway hits. This vertically scrolling shooter. The series has had several sequels - but all of them have been another year in the 1940's - this will be the first to reuse the 1942 name IGN have the exclusive first look at the game:

Your arsenal begins fairly weak. You'll have your choice of plane and starting weapon, but it won't be enough to handle some of the enemies that come at you as you progress through a level. As you defeat enemies, new weapon options and upgrades scroll down the screen.


Grab the weapon you prefer and put it to use. Each of the variations is effective, from the traditional three-pronged spread shot to the powerful laser. Hold the shoot button and you can charge attacks, though unless you are blasting some of the larger enemies, powering-up attacks tends to be an ineffective strategy.

Ultimately it's your skill at avoiding shots and tapping the shoot button that will determine if you'll make it to the boss at the end of the stage.

Check out the whole preview and more videos below. Apparently it should be out by the Summer.
