With the recent success of Akrham City and the hype surrounding The Dark Knight Rises, Batman couldn't be hotter.

Unfortunately, it had an ending that seemed to go against everything the Caped Crusader stood for. Find out what I mean when you punch out another episode of the 32 Game Endings of Christmas! Fri, 23 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=32endings-29 32 Endings (Ep. 29) - It's the 29th day of the 32 Game Endings of Christmas. We're so close to the finish line. Today we're taking an excessive look at God of War for the PlayStation 2. Developed by the guy that brought us Twisted Metal, God of War proved to be one of Sony's biggest action games. The mix of gory violence and Greek mythology was enough to earn the game several sequels/prequels and a proposed movie. Now you can see Kratos' ultimate fate when you memorize today's episode of 32 Game Endings of Christmas! Thu, 22 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=32endings-28 32 Endings (Ep. 28) - We're up the 28th day in our 32 Game Endings of Christmas. Today we're looking at another alternate finale, the so-called "bad ending" of Sega's Streets of Rage. While it may not look like much now, Streets of Rage was the game that out-brawled the great Final Fight. It also featured multiple endings, including one that is full of sinister goodness. Find out which one we chose when you read another episode of the 32 Game Endings of Christmas! Wed, 21 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=32endings-27 32 Endings (Ep. 27) - It's the 27th day in our month-long look at the 32 Game Endings of Christmas. With less than a week to go, we're finally digging into some of the best endings of all time. Sadly, this Halo 2 ending is one of the worst. If you ever want to hear a nerd cry about being unfulfilled, get them started on the many, MANY problems associated with Halo 2's narrative. Find out what I'm talking about when you read today's episode of the 32 Game Endings of Christmas. Tue, 20 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=32endings-26 32 Endings (Ep. 26) - It's the 26th day on our 32 Game Endings of Christmas adventure. Up next we have The Goonies II, the confusing second chapter for Mikey and the gang. Here you have to use your puzzle solving skills to save your friends and a mermaid. But there's more to it than that, involving an interruption by the company that made this terrible game. Find out why this is one of the most memorable game endings of all time when you pretend to read another episode of the 32 Game Endings of Christmas! Mon, 19 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=32endings-25 32 Endings (Ep. 25) - It's the 25th day on our journey through the 32 Game Endings of Christmas! So far we've covered a couple of sexy game endings, but none are like this. Just imagine the perverted musings that happen in the mind of a middle-aged creeper and you get Dead or Alive 4. Instead of tackling all of the endings, we'll take a look at this oddly memorable Lei Fang cinema. I'm pretty sure you'll understand why we are singling it out! Sun, 18 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=32endings-24 32 Endings (Ep. 24) - It's the 24th episode of the 32 Game Endings of Christmas. Today we're taking a look at one of the most controversial sequels of all time: Super Mario Bros. 2. Mario, the Princess, Luigi and Toad return for another adventure that is NOTHING like the first game. Of course, that's because this didn't start out as a Mario game. But that's neither here nor there, because Super Mario Bros. 2 has one of the most interesting endings in 8-bit history! Sat, 17 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=32endings-23 32 Endings (Ep. 23) - It's the 23rd day on our 32 Game Endings of Christmas, which means we're in the home stretch. There are less than ten episodes left until the big Christmas Day finale! Today we're taking a look at the oft-forgotten full-motion video puzzler, The 11th Hour. This Myst-clone is the sequel to The 7th Guest. Time has not been kind to this series, but this cinema still holds up as one of the craziest endings of all time! Fri, 16 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=32endings-22 32 Endings (Ep. 22) - It's the 22nd day in our list of the 32 Game Endings of Christmas! After riding a wave of success, Midway was compelled to do everything in its power to slow down Mortal Kombat's success. They did this by using full-motion video cinemas, bad gameplay and a laughable story that is only made worse by the casting decisions. This is one ending you have to see to believe. See how it ends in today's episode of the 32 Game Endings of Christmas! Thu, 15 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=32endings-21 32 Endings (Ep. 21) - It's the 21st day in our month-long look at the 32 Game Endings of Christmas! Today we're looking at one of Konami's hidden gems. Dracula X: Rondo of Blood originally didn't get a Western release, instead it stayed put in Japan on a console few people owned. Since then it has managed to find its way to the States (in both a PSP game and a Wii port), finally giving Castlevania fans a chapter they completely missed. See how it ends in today's episode of the 32 Game Endings of Christmas! Wed, 14 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=32endings-20 32 Endings (Ep. 20) - It's day twenty on our slog through the 32 Game Endings of Christmas! Do you like cores? Are you into Final Fantasy? What about crisis? Even if you said no to all of that, we're still going to take a look at Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. It may not get the same amount of love heaped on the numbered sequels, but Crisis Core has proven itself to be one of strongest entries in the long running series. Find out how it ends when you steal the identity of the 32 Game Endings of Christmas! Tue, 13 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=32endings-19 32 Endings (Ep. 19) - It's the nineteenth day on our trip through the 32 Game Endings of Christmas! Today we're checking out Dragon's Lair, the very first laserdisc game. This interactive cartoon was a big hit at the arcade, spawning countless ports (including a few that weren't cartoons at all). Now is your chance to see how this classic ends without memorizing the beats of the story. See why Princess Daphne was worth saving when you read today's episode of the 32 Game Endings of Christmas! Mon, 12 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=32endings-18 32 Endings (Ep. 18) - Is it already the eighteenth day in our month-long 32 Game Endings of Christmas! Today we're going handheld. That's right; we're taking a look at one of the best portable games of all time. I'm talking about Tetris, the pack-in game that introduced the world to the Nintendo Game Boy. Did you know this game has an ending? It does and you're about to see it when you read another episode of the 32 Game Endings of Christmas! Sun, 11 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=32endings-17 32 Endings (Ep. 17) - It's the seventeenth day in our month-long look at the 32 Game Endings of Christmas. It's usually here where things start to break down. But that's not the case this year, thanks in large part to this frustrating finale for the great Ghosts 'n Goblins. Think you have what it takes to survive Satan's twist ending? Find out now when you read another exciting episode of the 32 Game Endings of Christmas! Sat, 10 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=32endings-16 32 Endings (Ep. 16) - It's the sixteenth day of the 32 Game Endings of Christmas! That means we're exactly half way through this laborious piece of garbage ... er, I mean amazing holiday celebration. Today we're taking a look at one of the most beloved sci fi games of all time: Metroid! This ending has big surprises. At least it did when it first came out, now pretty much everybody knows how it ends. And that's why it's a perfect selection for the 32 Game Endings of Christmas! Fri, 09 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=32endings-15 32 Endings (Ep. 15) - It's the fifteenth day in our month-long trek through the 32 Game Endings of Christmas! Are you one of those people who have been emailing me demanding longer end cinemas? If so, then I have a doozy of a cut scene for you. Overly dramatic, long winded and full of anti-war messaging; it can only be one thing: Metal Gear Solid for the PlayStation. Find out why this game deserves to be on our list of the 32 Game Endings of Christmas! Thu, 08 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=32endings-14 32 Endings (Ep. 14) - We're fourteen days into the 32 Game Endings of Christmas. Are you ready for something completely different? For today's episode we are taking a trip all the way back to ... 2009?

The 32 Game Endings of Christmas are always keeping you on your toes! Wed, 07 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=32endings-13 32 Endings (Ep. 13) - We're thirteen days into the 32 Game Endings of Christmas and boy do I have a treat for you today.

Sonic the Hedgehog CD doesn't need sappy dialog; it lets the cheesy song do all the work. Get ready for a rap/rockin' good time when we dig into Sonic CD's Japanese ending!
