I think most people who even know a little bit of me know that I have a fascination with Sasquatch/Bigfoot. I honestly like to believe that such a creature is out there…some kind of lost link between man and beast that has eluded capture all these years. However, what I won’t stand for is this creature I just became aware of this very evening…
As odd as it may sound, Shell enjoys watching those “ghost shows” that air on A&E and other stations. We were watching the show “Paranormal State” today, and the episode we watched didn’t concern ghosts…it concerned UFOs. This was weird to me because every episode we have watched so far featured a haunted house or business with ghosts…never UFOs. I was intrigued, since I also have a belief in interstellar life outside our own. However, it went downhill pretty fast. What started as an episode about UFOs outside this ranch that people stay over to watch them took a horrific turn as the team headed into the woods at night to get their investigation on, and one of the locals began to tell them that something lurked in those woods: Batsquatch.
At the time I was playing around on my phone, but as I heard the word “…quatch” uttered my interested shot back to the television to see how Sasquatch was brought into this. Then I thought I heard the guy say “Batsquatch”, and I didn’t think I heard it right. That’s when the guy revealed a picture he drew of what he believed lived in the woods, and at that point I nearly lost it. This is the image the guy on the show claimed he saw (I actually got if off their website):

When I first saw and heard about Bayonetta, I wasnt interested. It looked like an unappealing God of War clone to me, and reminded me too much of Heavenly Sword, which was a game that looked cool but sucked when I played it. So I had no intentions of checking out Bayonetta. That is, until I played the demo. Then I changed my tune.
Without knowing too much about the game (from not reading up on it due to lack of interest), from the demo I can derive that you play as some hot chick who lives amongst a secret society. The game has her going off to fight a bunch of demons (some of which are HUGE). The main character is very interesting. As you control her, you fight with hand to hand combat and guns. As you defeat enemies, you can pick up their weapons…some of which are ridiculously huge. There is also some magic thrown in there to spicen things up.
One of the craziest things about the demo that snagged my attention was the combat itself. Aside from what I just mentioned, there were a few large enemies where, at the end, you had to finish the enemy off with some on-screen button prompts. By successfully doing this, her clothing comes off to reveal the fact that it is her hair. Then her hair turns into a monster’s mouth, and proceeds to bite the giant enemy in half. It was so unexpected, yet so cool to see a hair monster bite a huge chunk out of some other large monster.
In the end, the demo succeeded in blowing me away. I wish it was a little longer, but it was still enough to grab my interest and leave me wanting more. I will definitely be renting this game at some point when it comes out in January.
