The PSone era Silent Hill had me shitting my pants every time I heard an air raid siren, and the plot was both goofy and suitably surreal.

I only discovered his super Nintendo entries when I was balls deep into the N64 as a child. They were delightfully fun, although spinoffs made it clear that deviations from the standard side-scrolling Kirby formula don't work too well - at least for me. So I am pretty much super excited for the new release titled "Kirby's Epic Sam Swifthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12382905639101964802noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618741190788896963.post-41916291988842493912010-09-16T12:59:00.000-07:002010-09-16T13:22:48.101-07:00Asura's Wrath looks absolutely crazyWhat to do when you're a God who's been stripped of his powers or some such act of betrayal? Well you go for balls-out revenge. Sound a little too familiar? Well don't fret; with a striking and unique art style being pushed by the Unreal engine, the preview reveals what looks to be a completely insane take on the Hack'n'Slash genre.
