CollegeHumor cut together every clip of someone playing a fake video game in The Simpsons. I mean, they probably missed one or two, what with there being 500 episodes of the show to sift through, so take it easy on me, commenters.
Here's Conan O'Brien playing Halo 4 for his web series "Clueless Gamer." He voiced a character for the game, but don't expect him to stay awake while playing it.
It's happening. The re-released Simpsons Arcade Game will be available on Xbox tomorrow and PlayStation Feb. 7. Cowabunga, dude.
There have been a few South Park video games before, and there's even a relatively minor-looking Xbox Live Arcade game coming out soon called South Park: Tenorman's Revenge, but there's a new game in the works that looks to be far more ambitious. Simply titled South Park: The Game, this is going to be a vast open-world RPG set in the world of South Park. Trey Parker and Matt Stone are writing it, performing the voices, and overseeing the development, which I assume is more than they've done for past games.
And there's reason to believe it'll be good: it's being developed by THQ and Obsidian, the latter [...]
Dark humor runs through Portal 2, the massively successful 2011 offering from Valve Software. The game's antagonist, GLaDOS (short for Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System), goads the player, pushing and prodding him or her along with an ever-present narcissistic, sarcastic, sinister wit voiced by Ellen McLain reading a script written by the legendary Erik Wolpaw. Wheatley, the enthusiastic sidekick in single-player mode, offers a light-hearted alternative to GlaDOS's dour musings. The pair combine to create a game that is exceptionally funny at times.
Portal 2, however, is not a comedy. The plot is dark and melodramatic, occasionally interspersed with moments of levity. But the video game, [...]
I think that female Jedi is totes into Conan. Who can blame her: he's bad at videos games, he's great at punching his friend, he made that amazingly terrible "chose zeh bra" joke, and he's into how controlling she is. I hope they get married and have babies with little red-haired buns.
The announcement that a big-time South Park RPG is currently under development at Obsidian Studios was like catnip for a very specific type of nerd, one whose Venn Diagram of obsessions contains both comedy and video games. You will actually get to control what will look almost exactly like an episode of South Park! You will be able to select "Jew" as your user class (a "paladin/monk type character") and then attack a roving pack of gingers with a golf club! And now we get to see the first screenshots of actual gameplay, and lordy does it look just like the show.
Attention, Simpsons/video game fans of a certain age: The Simpsons Arcade Game, in which you get to beat up Fat Tony as a vacuum-cleaner-weilding Marge Simpson, appears to be coming to Xbox Live Arcade. Is it the best button-mashing arcade game like this? Not even close! But is it the only one featuring the goddamned Simpsons? Yes, yes it is. Which alone will probably make it a popular impulse purchase.
Here's the latest installment in the web series Clueless Gamer, in which non-video game player Conan O'Brien plays video games and does bits. It's basically eight minutes of Conan ogling Tomb Raider's Lara Croft, which will probably result in him being the first person ever to receive a restraining order from a video game character.
This video is part of a new web series by Team Coco called "Clueless Gamer." Don't get too excited, it's not a series where Conan just plays the Clueless PC game over and over. Instead Conan is the clueless one (as if!) as he tries out games and rates them by the most convoluted scale imaginable. Watch to see what Push The Limit gets on the 44 star system – where 35=great, 11=not so good, 2=really good, 1=horrible – or to see Conan swing his arms awkwardly.
Here's a bit more info on the upcoming South Park RPG in the form of an interview with Feargus Urquhart, CEO of developer Obsidian Entertainment. The big takeaway: the game looks exactly like the show, with Trey and Matt playing an early demo and feeling like they were controlling the show in real-time. So no 3D Cartmans or anything like that — the game will be made to look like the construction-paper cutouts we know and love. Expect more info, and hopefully some actual screenshots/videos, soon as Game Informer milks the hell out of this exclusive for the rest of the week.
