7 Greatest videogame urban legends

by Danielle Riendeau on Apr 13, 2008 at 01:26 PM

PS2 conspiracy theory
Who doesn’t love a good “top xx” list? Kezins.com has an awesome little list of videogaming’s best urban legends, including the infamous “Nude Raider” code and the “PS2 will be used to launch Iraqi missiles” conspiracy theory.

My personal favorite has to be the Polybus mystery. From the post:

“The Urban Legend - A government run arcade cabinet was used to collect data. Once played this game would cause seizures, memory loss and people were brainwashed.“

Its a fun, quick read, and well worth checking out for a dose of gaming nostalgia/paranoia.

More Strong Bad, a beanbag toss game, and Space Invaders + Fogotten Worlds on the VC. It’s a rather full week on Wii’s downloadable services.

Impressed by Patapon
2: Donchaka demo
impressions
The Japanese demo for Patapon 2: Donchaka is impressive. It keeps the gameplay, art style and music that made Patapon famous, but makes it easier to reach and maintain fever and adds in new multiplayer game elements.
