Old school like Aztecs but new in other aspects: horror, video games, wrestling, culture, and nonsense. Also, this is the place to check for new features/updates on the tech side of Bloody Good Horror.
Twisted Metal - The Lost Endings
Submitted by mark on Tue, 09/02/2008 - 23:30.
As Eric can attest, the "Twisted Metal" series is on the very top of my nostalgia list, as I wasted countless evenings blowing up pixely buildings, unlocking secrets and viewing Metal's trademark ridiculous endings. The oft-ridiculous, morbidly moralistic endings always manged to be satisfying in the way few modern games can match.
Most "Twisted Metal" fans will readily recognize the strange mix of extreme comic art, live action special effects, and extreme angles that defined the series' endings from the second game, but apparently, the situation with the endings of the first game is slightly more interesting. After originally stumbling on the so-called "lost endings," on the YouTubes, I tried finding out any information I could about them. All I could turn up was the fact that they were apparently scrapped for being too "violent and sexist." After watching a good number of them, I surmised that they probably had to be scrapped because they were not only some of the most hilariously shit-awful D-movie clips I've ever seen, but I'd be goddamned if these things wouldn't have given my 12-year-old self some SERIOUS nightmares.
Take a look at some of the funnier ones...

Mr. Grimm gets...Skeleton Arms?
Roadkill returns to the Jungle

Those things are god damn amazing.
My favorite has got to be Spectre's... Now that's an epic tweest if I've ever seen one.
I too love this game. I played the 2nd one for endless hours when it came out, and it was by far the better game, but I will always have nostalgia for the dark grittiness of the original. Good times.

I thought this was going to be about the cartoon actually. I had completely forgotten about this game actually. I heard the PSP version that came out a couple years ago is really good too.
"I like it when they lie still like that."
Actually, there is a PS3
Actually, there is a PS3 version in the works that was supposedly hinted at in the re-release of the latest version of TM on the PS2 that came out last February. It seems like it's going to be a PS3 exclusive, which is a total bummer, but I'm really pumped to see how it turns out, especially with all of the advancements in graphics and motion physics.
PSP version
Owned a while back when I had my first PSP. It was essentially a really awesome port of TM2 from the original Playstation. A little tough with the analogue nub, but good times none the less.
