MTV teams up with Mega Man to compare console download speeds

Feb 3rd 2009 11:43AM (Joystiq)
I don't see how using a wired or wireless connection can make a difference, when both are connecting to a router at much faster rate than the internet connection...

Molyneux says LittleBigPlanet is 2008's most creative innovation

Maybe because they're British, or maybe because the founders of Mm used to work for Molyneux in the Black and White days... They're ex-Lionhead

CES Fat Princess vids remind us we really want to play

Just because something has upgrades involved doesn't make it deep. This is straight up simple. Sins of a Solar Empire is deep. Eve Online is deep. Not to say this doesn't look like great fun. Will definately download this.

CES 2009: Hands (and butt)-on with the SimCraft APEX

Jan 12th 2009 3:04PM (Joystiq)
It's just a glorified rumble feature. Until it can somehow simulate G-Forces I'm not interested.

Philosony: Give a sackboy a level and he'll play for a day...

The reason LBP has fallen off the radar is that the online cooperative play is completely broken and it is nigh on impossible to complete most of the studio created levels when online, and that nothing user generated comes close to those levels in terms of quality.

I recently got the Share trophy for playing 150 community levels, and although I hearted many for the trophy I haven't rated anything above 3 stars. The first 4 'Cool Levels' pages are swamped with broken or just poorly designed tributes to other games, levels designed just to give you trophies, stupid rocket car levels or levels that make appalling attempts at recreating songs using the sound effects.

Few people can be bothered to dig through heaps of rubbish in the hope of maybe finding a decent level, and while everyone continues to see what all the fuss is about over Metal Gear Sacklid, the decent levels will never make it to the big time.

I made a level which in 2 hours after publishing had a 4 Star rating, tags of Cool, Good, Brilliant and Pretty from 10 Plays. After those 2 hours it has never been played since.

Firmware 2.53 available now, adds full screen flash video

I can complain. Their server is unreliable (yet been able to connect to the server to download the patch), and I don't even want the update. I just can't go online until I've downloaded the damn thing.

Software sales data: UK gamers resist Resistance 2

Dec 2nd 2008 11:55AM (Joystiq Playstation)
Just as you suggested, I'm not buying R2 because it is set in the US. Nothing against the US, but the only reason I purchased the original was because I wanted a shooter amongst the first games I got when buying the console, and it was set in the UK. It had nice visuals, and that gun with the tagger was fun, but I traded it in after 2 weeks. Mediocre.

European PSN releases for November 20th

There's a loco roco 2 demo too.

My, my Resistance! How you've grown in two years

Oct 30th 2008 12:58PM (Joystiq Playstation)
I live in the UK. It has an identical colour pallet to R1. Guess the US is just more colourful. Remember what happens when you get too much colour though people...


RAINBOWS!

He should have played on PSN instead. They'll give all your communication information to the Police.
