Mailbag!

Got a
question? Got a comment? Got a concern? Got a beef? Be
heard.
The Mailbag!
seems to be more irregular than an old man’s bowels, but what
can I say? All great things are. Spawn comics were highly
irregular for years. The Sopranos has a new episode and a new
season when they feel like it. Doom sequels and Tool albums come
out willy-nilly too. We
are no different…

Q: Which game
character can kick all other game characters ass?
A: Well, from
a strictly technical standpoint, the "player" in Black
and White, since he is god. Also known as the "little
hand" that moves around the screen, he, she, or it can't be
harmed, has all sorts of god-like powers, commands a large animal,
and has swarms of followers to do his bidding. He could smite
Solid Snake with a lighting bolt, pick up Alucard and throw him
about a million miles into the sea, have his giant creature step
on (or eat) Dante, have Samus sacrificed, and cook himself a
Pikachu burger with a well-placed fireball. The only way he can be
destroyed is if his save game file gets corrupted…
If you mean
strictly "cool factor", my list would go:
10. 47 from
the Hitman series
9. Samus from the Metroid series
8. Jimmy Patterson from the Medal of Honor series
7. Hotsuma from Shinobi
6. Cloud Strife, the Kingdom Hearts incarnation
5. Garrett from the Thief series
4. Cate Archer from the No One Lives Forever series
3. Dante from Devil May Cry
2. Alucard from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
1. Solid Snake from the Metal Gear series

Q: What is
the most under appreciated game for the PS2?
A: Shadowman:
2econd Coming. That game did everything right, got some great
reviews, and had a cult following from the original Shadowman, but
seemed to be passed over on store shelves for other titles. If you
can, try checking out Shadowman: 2econd Coming, it’s worth the
trouble.

Q: A friend
of mine wants to know if it is ok to buy a refurbished PS2 from
Electronics Boutique?
A: If saving
$30 dollars means that much to you, by all means go ahead. But if
you think you’d rather put out a little extra money and get a
console that wasn’t bought by some unknown guy, broken, sent
back to Sony, repaired, than sent to EB where it can be sold once
more and make them double the profit, just get a new one.
