I think I actually managed to punch myself in the face once...  Made for a hell of a replay.

And then I went into the "demo" section and started watching stuff from the pros...  Eep.  At first I was utterly in awe of their insane abilities, and then I found out that you can edit your replays so you get the move down perfectly.  Still though, a perfect rip-off-arm-and-throw-it is no easy feat.


I tried out Toribash at around the same time I heard about "Sumotori Dreams". 

Sumotori Dreams is more of a toy than a game, really.  It's a game of sumo between two men made out of blocks.  It's physics-based, and the interesting thing is that the block men are affected by gravity, and thus make hundreds of constant little adjustments to keep their balance.

They're not very good at it.

Fights will generally last only a few seconds, but the time the fighters spend picking themselves up afterwards can last for several minutes.

Sumotori had me crying laughing at 3 AM one night.

As you journey to the center of the world, feel free to read the death announcements of those dwarves that suffer your neglect.

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the cosmos. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips, I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my veins. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk and free throw.

Sometimes I wish Konami would throw away MoCap and make ragdoll fighters that use physics and AI to balance themselves.
