NYCC: Hands-on with TMNT
Feb 27th 2007 6:18PM (Joystiq)that very first TMNT game published by ULTRA for the NES was god-damned fantastic. Don't let anybody fool you. It was hard-as-hell, had pretty decent graphics for the time and a huge variety of gameplay. It also allowed you to switch between the 4 turtles anytime you wanted to achieve various objectives.
I STILL play that game.
though, the various translations done after that came out, the ones that were rip-offs of the arcade games were also great. These games were made specifically for Co-OP gameplay.
TURTLES IN TIME for the SNES was probably the best one of them all, with the COOP being the best out of any of them.
I did play through the last few that came out for the PS2, but wasn't impressed. It followed the, pick one turtle and switch between the 4 at-will formula.
This one looks like fun. If it is a throwback to the arcade style games, it needs co-op. If its not, and ment to be more of an "adventure" game, then its fine if its just single player, ala the original TMNT NES title referenced above.
I would be interested in playing the new title.

Feb 20th 2007 5:04PM (Engadget HD)Metareview - Crackdown
Feb 20th 2007 4:49PM (Joystiq)Yeah, its a GTA/Saints Row clone, but it adds enough new content to be fun.
No its not a groundbreaking title, no it doesn't look as good as other current gen games do, but you know what? its fun. and thats what its all about right?
I am going to try to pick up a copy of it tonight after work.
and the halo3 thing is a nice incentive, but I probably would've bought this game w/o it.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, the website unleashed also
Feb 15th 2007 4:57PM (Joystiq)I will probably get this. I think its probably going to be similar to Jedi Knight, not starring Kyle Katarn, and with combo moves.
jedi knight + tony hawk + nba street + star wars = this

Jade Empire: Special Edition goes gold
Feb 7th 2007 11:38AM (Joystiq)it wasn't nearly as deep as KOTOR or KOTOR II, and I think that the game suffered for it. You couldn't upgrade your character much, each type of character you choose really didn't seem very different from one choice to the next, and although it looked sharp, it really wasn't different then anything else we've seen before.
I enjoyed it (somewhat), but sold it back to my local game store as soon as I had finished it.
If the RPG elements were a little deeper, and you had a ton more control over how your character progressed (IE more customization) I think this would've been much better.
but yeah, its all magic effect-punch-punch-kick, then you win. nothing to it.
