Mole Kart is the iOS Mario Kart rip-off you never wanted
Jan 14th 2012 5:05PM (Joystiq)Of course it makes perfect sense. People like this game (Mario Kart) and want something similar. If Nintendo is unwilling to make the game, someone else will fill the demand.
That being said, this is one of the most blatant ripoffs I've ever seen. At least that Capcom Max Splode or whatever it was called game had its own levels. I'm also not saying that it's ok to do this (something this blatant will hopefully result in a lawsuit) but it's totally expected.
ESA members asked individually about SOPA, some respond
Jan 13th 2012 10:25AM (Joystiq)What good does reading all the language do? There are people with expertise in studying this sort of thing, and they can provide more meaningful outlines than the average person could make for themselves. Laws are complex.
Also, this damn thing's in committee, we won't be hearing about it for a long time, if ever again.

Jan 12th 2012 11:19PM (Joystiq)Myst 3D video shows off Myst, not so much 3D
Jan 2nd 2012 2:21AM (Joystiq)Even walking from place to place is on the non-3d screen? The goddamn islands are what I wanted to see in 3D, not the pages of the damned books.
I swear Myst has had the laziest ports...
Humble Indie Bundle 4 abused by Scrooge-like Steam scamming
Dec 23rd 2011 12:57AM (Joystiq)Humble's not a charity. It's a business that USES charity to make money.
Ultimately this costs a business, not charity. Furthermore, if Humble doesn't want people to abuse this, they should probably set a minimum transaction cost. Their solution is good, and what the people are doing is scummy, but it's not as if pennies are being pulled from the hands of malaria victims.
Mojang hoping to build official Minecraft LEGOs
Dec 6th 2011 12:49AM (Joystiq)Actually, it would more likely be "Hondae," (Ae being pronounced "eye.") as the A ending is typical of first-declension nouns.
Hyundai probably being second-declension, which sometimes has irregular endings, it could easily be Hyundaii.
Wow I've been in grad school too long.
Ubisoft's 'Drawsome Tablet' coming to Wii on December 6
Nov 8th 2011 12:18PM (Joystiq)The Tiger Woods golf games use the MotionPlus and are actually quite excellent. I mean, you only need one of the two, but they're a legitimate reason to own it.
Heck the Disc Golf alone is rockin.
That being said, the peripheral is wholly underutilized because third parties can't ensure that users have it, just like disc installs on the 360, so they have to design for the lowest common denominator.
Frozen Synapse coming to iPad in 2012, Mode 7 hopes
Nov 3rd 2011 2:07AM (Joystiq)Sadly every time it gets a big promo there's such an influx of new players that it becomes unfun to play. I don't mind teaching people how to play but it gets old after a while. This would be mitigated by a good tutorial that actually taught people rudimentary strategy, the use of the view line, how gun battle winners are determined, etc.
It's true that the best way to learn is to lose against someone better but it sucks being that someone better over and over again. This isn't even bragging - I've been paired with players who had literally NEVER played a multiplayer game before.
Wizorb smashing into PC on Nov.7, more ports to follow
Oct 30th 2011 2:35PM (Joystiq)It is absurd and annoying that, when you provide a link to the game, that it links to the Joystiq history. People click that link to go to the game's website, not yours.
You don't even give us the game's website. Thanks for that.
Continue the plummeting journalism standards.
