It sounds like something out of Sega’s recently released Bayonetta game, though perhaps a little more gruesome and lacking any semblance of bonus points. Some poor bastard was riding in a taxi with his girlfriend when they began to argue. At some point, Gavin Taylor was stabbed in the eye with his girlfriend’s stiletto shoe. In fact, the stiletto heel passed through his eye socket and actually touched his brain, a concept that just sent an uncomfortable shiver up my spine.
Following the horrific incident Mr Taylor, of Stalybridge, Cheshire, was rushed to Huddersfield Royal Infirmary where he was treated before being transferred to a specialist ward in Leeds, West Yorks.
A West Yorkshire Police spokesman said: “At around 2am on Sunday, police received reports of a serious assault which occurred in a vehicle travelling through Huddersfield town centre.
“A 28-year-old man was struck to the head and taken to Huddersfield Royal Infirmary.
“He was subsequently transferred to Leeds General Infirmary and is currently in a stable but critical condition.”
Unsure how you feel about the forthcoming Bayonetta? Not quite sold on playing a character who looks like Sarah Palin and carries a big chain? I hear you. Fortunately, a demo will be appearing in North America on December 3rd for both Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
A demo for the much anticipated third person action title BAYONETTA will be released on Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Network in the US and across Europe on December 3rd.
BAYONETTA has achieved a perfect score of 10/10 in EDGE magazine in the UK, becoming only the 11th game to do so in the magazine’s history since its first issue in 1993.
BAYONETTA was also recently reviewed by Japan’s most respected games magazine Weekly Famitsu, achieving a perfect score of 40/40 for Xbox 360 and 38/40 for PlayStation 3, with both scores garnering a Platinum award. BAYONETTA is only the 12th game ever to receive a perfect score in the magazine’s history since its first issue in 1986.
BAYONETTA is set for release in the US on January 5th and across Europe on January 8th 2010 on Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system. BAYONETTA was released in Japan on October 29th.
The Tokyo Game Show is right around the corner and Microsoft has announced what they will be showing, both in terms of playable games and game videos. Here’s the list:
Are you incredibly hot? Do you find it hard getting through the monotonous day without your specially crafted gun holsters on your ankles? Do you have long, flowing hair with the tensile strength of steel, capable of pulling a 6-passenger car 50 meters through a Beijing suburb like Chinese kung fu woman Zhang Tingting?
Then Maxim and Sega want to hear from you! Maxim.com is running a contest until September 30, 2009 to find a real-life Bayonetta for Sega’s upcoming action game, Bayonetta. Sega stated that it is “looking for the one girl who best captures the style and attitude” of the ankle-gun toting protagonist in PlatinumGames’ upcoming title.
The winning contestant will be spotlighted on Maxim.com and will receive an Xbox 360 system, a 50-inch Panasonic TC-P50X1 Plasma HDTV and a copy of Bayonetta for the Xbox 360. Entrants have to be at least 18 years old and legal, female residents of either the U.S. or Canada.
Maxim, Sega and PlatinumGames will select the entrants for the online voting gallery and fans will vote on the top entries at Maxim.com from October 1 to October 23, 2009. PlatinumGames will then “factor in” all of the responses to determine the grand prize winner. In other words, American Idol-style voting. The winner will be announced on October 29, just in time to wear that Bayonetta costume for Halloween.
