RYGAR: THE BATTLE OF ARGUS

NINTENDO WII

TECMO

2.3.09

Rygar was a fascinating and infamously hard Nintendo game back in the '80s. Then it became a solid early-aughts, 3-D thingamabob on the PlayStation 2. Now that version has been slightly rejiggered for the Wii. It's a bummer that Tecmo didn't update the '02 version more than they did, and that the motion controls barely factor into a game predicated upon whip-cracking. Despite its awkwardness, though, Rygar's still not an entirely unwelcome release. There are very few quality action games on the Wii; Rygar's quality is highly debatable, but if you can look past the outdated visuals, the horrible voice-acting and the nondescript story, you'll find an entirely mindless but reasonably enjoyable action romp in the mold of Castlevania or Devil May Cry.

Homeless in Boston

By weeklydig on Fri, Feb 5, 2010 3:50 pm

Our office is directly across from the Pine Street Inn so we have our fair share of homeless wanderers in the neighborhood. Occasionally they come into our building and hang out on the stairs or even, like just the other day, come into our office and move into our bathroom. It's worst when it's really cold and I always feel torn about booting these folks. Life must be hard enough. But at the some time...get the hell out of my office! What would you do?

I never expected to end up volunteerig at the Sundance film festival. I wanted to do it, but life always seems to come up. Well, here I am, six days into the fest, finally reporting to the beloved Dig readers.
