Lumines, you have (control) issues

Oct 19th 2006 11:38AM (Joystiq Xbox)
This really made me quite upset. I had such high hopes, and last night they all came crashing down. Not only did I get numerous error messages before I was ever able to download Lumines, but once I did I was left empty. The FULL version is anything but. The levels started over in a rotation (read: micropayments for additional levels). The lag on the multiplayer makes it nearly unplayable, and the control is simply bad.

The control feels soft and a little sluggish. The beaty of the PSP version is that once you put some headphones on, you are in control of everything in the Lumines universe... Your moves seem to dictate the music (which now seems more mainstream and less pulsating and entrancing than the PSP version) and blocks move and fall where you want them to. This version feels like the dancer who is a quarter step behind and just looks wrong.

I wanted this to be great, but the last 48 hours of XBox have gotten me a little more amped about the PS3.

Engadget HD giveaways: win a Samsung HL-S5679W DLP with LED backlight

I had Comcast, but it switched to Time Warner in Dallas. Now I hate it. the updated software causes my box to crash multiple times a day... So what should I do? Dish currently has more HD offerings, but DirecTV is supposedly going to blow them away within the next year...

I'll have to say my fav is through some sort of dish, I just can't make up my mind on which one yet.

Anatomy of shame: Dual Shake vs. Wiimote

May 9th 2006 9:48AM (Joystiq)
New way to hold the Playstation Wii Wiimote:

Turn it sideways, where pinky, ring, and middle finger cover the usb
the index finger covers R triggers
thumb rests someshere near D-stick and X, 0, square, and triangle

you are now holding the PSWiimote like a gun.

Might not be as ergonomic as the Wii, but an interesting way to think about 1handed play for the PSWii

Sorry, no SEDs this year

Mar 9th 2006 9:52AM (Engadget HD)
I'm sad... CES got me sooo excited, I've got my money hoarded and ready to put down on an SED... and now what?

Here is what I'm thinking: Samsung's LED DLP... looks great, long life, no rainbow.

Anyone have any suggestions for a good smaller flat screen for the beadroom?
