My Top 10 Worst No More Heroes Characters #9: Ermen Palmer


He was just some dude that tried to kill Travis at the end of the first game. Instead Henry Cooldown slices him in half before he gets the chance. 


He's actually an ode to some character from the GameCube game Killer 7. 

My Top 10 Worst No More Heroes Characters #10: Skelter Helter


He appears at the start of the 2nd game as a enemy of revenge against Travis. He's also a whiny loser. He also happens to be a parody of Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII.

My Top Ten No More Heroes Characters #1: Travis Touchdown


I guess it was easy to see this one coming. Travis is the star of the show, and he's everything he isn't suppose to be. He's a nerd who likes anime and wrestling, yet he takes on the role of an assassin so he can buy more video games. He has great one liners and is just such a goofball that he makes every scene a blast. 

My Top Ten No More Heroes Characters #2: Henry Cooldown


He appeared out of nowhere killing Letz Shake. He then disappears after taunting Travis, and shows up at the very end of the game (secret cut-scene) as Travis' long lost twin brother. 


He returns in the 2nd game and you even got to play as him. In some weird anime dream sequence. 


It's a shame that you didn't get to fight as Henry during the 3 other fights he fought for Travis for saving his hide. Oh budget cuts.

Assassin’s Creed Revelations To Include Original Game in PS3 Version


The newest game in the series will include the original game as a bonus for the PS3 version only. Mainly because they'd have to make another disc for the 360 version. 

My Top Ten No More Heroes Characters #3: Bad Girl


She was rank 2nd in the first game, and she was quite a challenge. She even had fake cryouts that resulted in one kill deaths. She even beats Travis to a pulp to make him give up, though he advanced in rank when the beam katana finally killed her.

My Top Ten No More Heroes Characters #5: Shinobu


She was a really good boss fight in the first game, and a very important part of the story. 


I was glad to see her return in No More Heroes 2, and even more glad to play as her for a bit.

My Top Ten No More Heroes Characters #6: Thunder Ryu


Thunder Ryu was Travis' master, and you had him help you upgrade your skills throughout the game. 


It's a shame that he was killed near the end. Funny to see his ghost appear in his dojo though.

My Top Ten No More Heroes Characters #7: Margaret Moonlight


In No More Heroes 2, you met her on the top of some roof in the middle of the night. Any gamer should not forget their tangle with this Gothic assassin. 


Not only is there a catchy theme music during the whole fight, but she is defiantly one of the hardest bosses in the series. Once you beat her though, it's very satisfying.

My Top Ten No More Heroes Characters #8: Destroyman


I really liked his fight in the first game. He was the first assassin to get the upper-hand on Travis, even though he was playing tricks instead of showing signs of "honor" or so he tries to make it seem.  


I was surprised to see him return in the second game as well. He was even better this time, double the trouble.

My Top Ten No More Heroes Characters #9: Harvey Moiseiwitsch Volodarskii




I just loved how ridiculousness this guy's name was. I really enjoyed the cut-scene where Travis confronts him as well. He was also a decent challenge, I almost lost a good bit of health, before I figured out his moves. 

My Top Ten No More Heroes Characters #10: Kimmy Howell


She first appears in No More Heroes 2, as an optional boss fight. She's actually challenging Travis Touchdown for his title making it one of the few defense fights Travis has to do. She's actually optional to the player. 


But I admit, it's a pretty good fight after the funny cut-scene. I like how's she's a Darth Maul parody, and she's a decent challenge. So if you're not careful you might end up like Qui-Gon Jinn in the game.

Things I Like: No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle


I really liked the first game, it had some problems, which this one seemed to fix. 


Like the sword fights are a lot better, and you get a little more variety with different weapons. 


Plus you had even crazier bosses. This is one of many. 


I also liked playing as Shinobu. She had some decent levels and boss fights. 


I thought Henry's dream was a wasted chance. 


And of course I love it's perverted humor.

Things I Like: No More Heroes


I remember when the game was shown off. The whole Killer 7 heritage was good and bad for it's reputation. 


I never played Killer 7 myself, but I liked the combat of No More Heroes. Star Wars meets Japanese Samurai Weirdness. 


The sandbox game-play of the main hub-world was pretty awful. There was really nothing to do besides a few odd jobs. 


Despite that bullshit, I fucking loved the boss fights. Each rank fight was epic and I couldn't wait to see the next challenge. 


I also loved the game's perverse humor.
