Joystiq hands-on: Saw

Apr 13th 2009 9:08PM (Joystiq)
I wouldn't go that far, Se7en and Silence of the Lambs are two of my favorite movies and I love the Saw franchise, well, the original up to 3. It's has an aspect of torture porn which I can't stand and sure the acting is terrible (the original was filmed in two weeks with no retakes), but the story most of the time is actually well put together as a thriller, does an alright job at analyzing characters and human behavior, and has some shock value at the end. In fact, I'd go as far as saying I like it a lot more than the other annual "horror" franchises from my youth, because while those did nothing but focus on bad guy killing teens, this actually focuses (or used to) on the victims, making you actually feel bad when they die.

The torture porn aspect actually has nothing to do with the story or the Saw franchise, although I could see how a lot of people watch these films solely to see someone's head get ripped off, which I wouldn't say differs at all from any other horror franchise. Of course, none of that is true anymore, as the last two films released have been nothing but torture porn for the sake of torture porn and a pretty horrible background story thrown in, but I'd still defend the first three as having some merit.

1UP's Shane Bettenhausen heads to Ignition Entertainment [updated]

I had to go to wikipedia to find out what the company even did, well one of the notes about Shane joining the company said:

"Shortly after his hiring, Ignition announced King of Fighters XII would be coming to North America in 2009 as a Playstation 3 exclusive."

If it's a joke edit, pretty funny, if it's true, fucking hilarious.

Joyswag regift giveaway: PSP-3000 Ratchet & Clank Entertainment Pack

Jan 4th 2009 7:14AM (Joystiq)
I honestly think it'll be a phone in vein of the iPhone, a touch screen, all features, apps designed specifically for it, everything, flip it up and it'll be a PSP with perhaps a smaller screen? I honestly think that's the only direction where they're sure to go at this point. Internal memory sounds logical but they've been raking in more money on those memory sticks than the games, so I don't think Sony would ever want to change that. If they do make a phone I hope they'll actually come up with a more clever name than PSPhone.

Didn't they do the exact same thing with Ratchet and Clank? Pretty sure this is just an early bonus.

A pillow, and you'd have to give it away with MGS4.

THQ gets 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand

The original game, which was horrible, sold over a million dollars, if anything THQ is paying 50 a hefty amount, which he later spends on hookers and blow.

THQ gets 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand

The plot is actually the perfection of video game stories, I don't exactly care for the game itself but if it sells well I'd like to see more games with a plot like that.

80GB PS3 releasing in Japan with bundles, various colors

A white LittleBigPlanet bundle to attract the more casual audience would be a brilliant move in North America.

Rumor: Disney characters coming to LittleBigPlanet

I'd like to see major movie producers to make levels/add characters to the game to promote their work, sounds like a pretty awesome way to advertise.

but paying for this? COME ON!

I don't want it because I'll be too busy fighting off Russian warplanes as Putin rears his ugly head in Alaska.
