It’s early in the year, but this is my contender for best story. This game is a sequel by the way, and the original is available for free at the developers website. I honestly want the story to continue, and would gladly fork over money for another game. I think the best thing is that this is a fully realized world with a good number of minor characters and development. Da New Guys also wins the title of “greatest fake out in video game history” in my book, but you’d have to see it to understand, and I sure as hell don’t want to spoil that moment. The jokes are constant, even during the most dramatic situations, yet they never got old, and many of them had me in stitches. There are others I could gush about, but I don’t want to spoil anything. There are also a ton of great moments, such as a jailbreak, underground fighting, and even a honest to goodness wrestling match. I thought for sure I’d find him annoying, but he grew on me. One of my favorites was Ice Cold, an obvious Stone Cold spoof, but one that was dumb as a bag of rocks. The characters are wacky, interesting, and have a ton of great dialogue.

This is a game that is all about the laughs, and they come in droves. It’s up to Brain’s teammates, Defender and Simon, to figure out what happened, save their little “buddy” and win the day. After the diminutive and annoying Brain manages to walk away with the belt, he’s kidnapped by someone who wants the belt for themselves.

Now it’s up to the game to live up to my hopes.ĭay of the Jackass starts of with a six man hardcore match for the Wrestle Zone title. After playing the demo, and seeing what kind of game it was, and the humor of the story, I was sold on the premise. After all, it was about a group of guys in a wrestling promotion who essentially moonlight as a super hero group. My appreciation of wrestling went a long way into interesting me in Da New Guys. Even if I don’t watch it regularly anymore, I still get excited for big events like Wrestlemania and still smile when someone like The Miz or Daniel Bryan manages to win a world title. It’s not secret that I’m a lifelong fan of wrestling.
