Wow, redesign! Finally!

I really think the menu should be on the left side though.

Jesus, the redesign looks fucking awesome! nicely done, and I dunno, I kinda like it on the right hand side ;P

Wow, I love the redesign, I think the menu on the right side is fine (I’m right-handed) and I love the default size for your videos now, so much better.

Redesign looks cool,
although i agree that the menu should be on the left.

Am I the only one who noticed all the medication on the desk? Man, Spoony has a cold. And look at Burton guarding the kleenex!

Pozdrowienia z Polski :) Nawet tutaj masz swoich fanów Spoony :)
Świetny nowy wygląd strony. Menu powinno być po lewej stronie. Rób dalej swoje produkcje! Jesteś świetny!

Greetings from Poland :) Even here You have a fan! :) By the way great new look of site. Menu should be on the left side. Keep making new videos! You are great!

Good looking redesign.

Like that the embedded video finally has a full screen option, so I can stop going to your bliptv page when I want to full screen it.

The Site is just orasmic! Nicely done! I wonder why some rewiews are not in the “Game menu”.

btw- I’m also from Poland ^^

it sounds like a pretty good game dude.

Are there any handheld games you would want to recommend? It seems like most of your gaming is console only.

Come on, big applause for this amazing year with Spoony and this amazing site.
*clap clap clap*

I know that people want the menu on the left side, but I love the new design. Keep the menu how it is because keeping it on the right will probably have your site stand out a bit more. Keep it up Spoony ^_^

Good review, love the new design as well, three cheers for Mrs. Spoony!

Love the new design man!

-FT

you should review that game the darkness or soemthing i dont really remember what th name is

Good luck — I hope things go well for you so you don’t have to stop ranting; it looks like you enjoy it.

You don’t know how much I agree.

I still enjoyed Siren a bit, but I never got anywhere. I spent most of my time running around the (somewhat pretty, by PS2-era standards) environments and getting hatcheted in the face.
But I agree; how the hell were we supposed to figure some of that crap out?

It’s more obscure than Myst, for Chrissake.

I’m gonna have to disagree with you about the LBP, though it’s definitely not for all people, the most overrated game of the year is without a doubt Grand Theft Auto IV, which didn’t resemble a Grand Theft Auto game at all, and was all in all just a horrible game, especially considering that famous GTA clone Saints Row 2 was better in EVERY way. I was tempted to burn my copy, and it was a rental!

the new designs great. i think it works alot better with the menu on the right, because the vids are such a huge size it means youd have to scroll the screen to the right to watch them.

Spoony. PLEASE do a rant on the hilarious IN THE NAME OF THE KING: A DUNGEON SIEGE TALE. That movie has so many funny moments….”Send in the ninjas!” Please please review it :D

Hah, I recently bought Siren for a dollar.

This review has actually inspired me to by Siren, it sounds really neat, but i have no ps3 so ima have to go with a walkthrough on my lap the whole time…

Samn Askyel it cost me 20

i would totally munch on alien fish if i was starving. anyone who is starving would i think. the desperation that hunger causes is extreme. I really actually liked that plot line because it was original. i am so fucking sick of the same explanations for zombies in every game and movie and this was different and interesting.

I’m a big fan of Survival Horror games and I heard that Siren fell into that category
I bought it at my local VG store for about 3$
I started playing it and didn’t have A SINGLE CLUE what to do
I did manage to get by the first level (a short one at least) but got killed in the second one in less than 10 seconds
Again, I had NO CLUE what just happened. I didn’t look for answer on the internet and the instruction booklet was missing so I literally gave up on this game (went back to playing good ol’ Silent hill games)
But then again, thanks for telling me the ending… I mean WTH???? Alien Fish?? That’s TOTALLY retarded!

While Siren had it’s glaring flaws, I can safely say that it is the most satisfying game to complete. It’s true that some levels take hours to complete after multiple trial and error, and the level/menu select makes no sense, but Siren presents a challenge untouchable by any other game I’ve ever played. I have beaten it without a walkthrough, and it took me several years of playing on and off, but no sense of satisfaction from a game lives up to the “Mission Accomplished.” screen you receive after completing a difficult level on Siren.

Your review convinced me to download Siren: Blood Curse. I started playing yesterday and I must say this game is pretty good so far.

The lack of continuity is the only annoying thing about the game. You end a chapter with one character using a revolver, but the next time you get to control him, he has no weapon. Or restarting from a checkpoint without any of the items you had collected.

siren is good,.

Interesting reveiw. But a goddamn advertisment came up and stopped the reveiw half way through! It just cut it and went on to another one of your videos!

I loved this review SpoonyOne, but one of your main problems with the Siren series seems to be more of a misunderstanding due to the original game’s somewhat sloppy translation.

To clarify, the creature which the people of Hanuda eat is not a crashed alien (though I can see how one could take this from seeing the ‘true ending’ of the first game), but a fallen God resembling a mermaid (the original interpretation of mermaids were indeed fallen angels or Gods). By eating this God, it lets out the siren wail and this leads me on to my second clarification. The shibito were not created by some kind of pathogen from the flesh of the creature, but were the result of the fallen God, named Datatsushi, placing a blood curse on the mortals that it felt committed blasphemy by eating it; the distinctive ‘siren’ in all the games is said ‘blood curse’ being repeated because if Datatsushi is not appeased with the occasional human sacrifice, the curse begins anew. That is why only religious artifacts can harm the shibito and that is why people who were not born in Hanuda (such as the American film crew in Siren: Blood Curse) rise as Shibito after dying because they interrupt the necessary sacrifice and so have heard Datatsushi’s siren call.

While I understand this is a severly f***ed up theology that we’re dealt by the game developers, I think this explanation might allow you perhaps to enjoy the game a little more without the overall plot seeming too jarring.

Old video, way past the point of anyone actually caring about a new comment, but I am bored so I decided to do so anyway.

I think naming the people “shibito” is incredibly lazy. It just means “the dead”. Just a fancy way of calling them zombies really.

Also, about your complaint about the new games localization. As I’m sure you’ve found out by now, the game uses English dialogue in the Japanese version. So, its not so much that it was localized poorly, just that the script was never written well in the first place.

I just bought Siren because I do enjoy playing it, if only to get to hear that maniacal giggling.
Right now though…..I am trying to refrain from a walkthrough…but even that does not help.
But I thank you Spoony for warning me of the bad things!
