ESRB rates 'AO' version of Manhunt 2 for PC

Aug 24th 2009 6:18PM (Joystiq)
I haven't played Condemned 2, but there is no way it is more violent. Manhunt 2 is all about killing people in the most violent way possible. Decapitating people with a machete as they scream in agony with each strike until there heads come off. You can even do this to police officers in the game.

If any game deserves an AO rating, it's Manhunt 2. Not GTA:SA with the hidden sex mini game that is impossible to even see unless you purposely look for it.

BTW, I have nothing against the violence in Manhunt 2, I'm just pointing it out. It's less violent than Saw & Hostel movies.

English Final Fantasy XIII demo will be brand new, downloadable (if it happens)

Aug 20th 2009 7:47PM (Joystiq)
It's a 100% guarantee that I will be buying this game on day 1 anyway. So I say, just concentrate on finishing the game and forget the demo. I can't control myself, if they release a demo, then I will have to play it, and to me, it will make the game have less of an impact when it is released. As a matter of fact, I wish they wouldn't show anymore of the game at all. The more surprises, the better.

Pachter says Best Buy's new games at used prices program will fail

Pachter is an genius for figuring this out. I would have never thought that selling games for less equals less profit.

Square Enix countdown reveals Final Fantasy/SaGa/Magic the Gathering crossover card RPG

Aug 7th 2009 7:38PM (Joystiq)
Obviously they did a roman numeral countdown just to cause buzz, for this very reason. But when you see VII, then VI, then V, etc., obviously the roman numerals didn't mean much at that point.

Besides, enough with the FFVII remake talk. FFVI was better. That is the one that needs to be remade before FFVII is.

Comcast adds HBO to its HD video on demand lineup

Huh? HBO has had HD On Demand for years. As while as every other premium channel.

Fans creating Star Fox sequel (it doesn't look like a SNES game)

Jul 17th 2009 8:41PM (Joystiq)
This will never see the light of day, unfortunately. Nintendo will shut it down, it's a waste of time.

Final Fantasy III coming to the Virtual Console this month (in Japan)

@Kevin

Because you are playing 20 year old games. They were amazing when they were first released, but times have changed in a big way. Those games are all about nostalgia now. If you are a fan now, you want to play those to see how the series started. But if you want to play these games to become a fan, you can't start with the really old ones. But play FF6 if you want an old school Final Fantasy that really still holds up, and if you don't like it, just give up, because it doesn't get any better than FF6.

See the PSP-3000 and PSP Go side by side

Jun 27th 2009 1:40AM (Joystiq)
If screen size is the deciding factor in choosing hand-held consoles, that kind of defeats the purpose. PSP-3000 and PSP-GO both have tiny screens. If you look at them both side by side with the intent of seeing which has the bigger screen, obviously PSP-3000 is bigger, but I guarantee when you hold those screens at 2 feet from your face to play games in it, the experience is EXACTLY the same.

Tomorrow's eBay deal: Xbox Live 12-month subscription

Jun 22nd 2009 5:57PM (Joystiq Xbox)
If you plan on renewing next year, just buy it anyway if it's a good enough deal. That way you don't have to pay next year.

This is what Final Fantasy XIV looks like

Jun 3rd 2009 2:48AM (Joystiq)
It affects me because they are spending precious time developing a game that I have no desire to play. In other words, this news is basically that the next FF game is going to be delayed at least an extra 2 years.

They can have as many spinoffs as they want, I don't care, but it bugs me that they are whoring out the main numbered series. It's like if the Superbowl next year, had a soccer game instead of a football game and called it Superbowl 44 and had no football game whatsoever. It would piss a lot of people off. I personally wouldn't care because I don't like football or soccer, but I understand that people would get mad.
