George W. Bush has declared war on the Sony PlayStation 2 (PS2).

The United States has long accused the leadership behind the PS2 of selling the system to millions despite the fact it doesn't have one game worth owning. In an effort to prove this to the world, Secretary of State Colin Powell took his PS2 to a UN Gaming Council meeting and demanded to see "just one decent game." Sony produced so-called "mega blockbusters" like Devil May Cry 2, Xenosaga, and Tenchu 3: Wrath of Heaven, which only led to heated debate and no verdict in the council.

Sony then presented a "game" that convinced France and Germany that the PS2 was worth owning. When the other UN Gaming Council delegates discovered this "game" was, in fact, a DVD of the movie Sweet Home Alabama starring Reese Witherspoon, the U.S. gained the support of Great Britain and Australia. Prime Minister Blair asked, "How many more DVD movies need to be butchered before the UN decides to take action?"

I was thrilled when I heard about Ikaruga, the quasi-sequel to the excellent shooter Radiant Silvergun. As you may know, both games come from Treasure, a company unafraid to make race a central part of their games.

Ikaruga is a vertically-scrolling, 2-player shooter. You control a ship that must destroy all the enemies without being killed yourself. In Ikaruga, however, your ship (and the enemies) can assume two modes: "black" or "white". If you're in black mode, you absorb all black attacks. If you're in white mode, you absorb all white attacks. Choosing the correct mode is necessary to advance in the game.

After reading a similar description I first thought, "Finally, a game that features the true source of all human conflict." Unfortunately, those yellow, inferior monkeys screwed-up by forcing the player to be black during many parts of the game.

Ah content qu'on parle de ce site, *j'adore* sa critique de Zelda.

Instead of including eight more dungeons in the game, Nintendo opted for rupee (money) collecting.
Yes, Nintendo wanted me to spend a couple hours earning money in a video game, which is actually kind of funny since I paid them real American money for the opportunity to do this.
