Dead Island review: In need of brains
Sep 5th 2011 12:08PM (Joystiq)Slavery the Game isn't a real game, is a real website, is really uncool

SpyParty preview: Turing, eat your heart out
Sep 2nd 2011 11:48PM (Joystiq)The more options you have, the more likely there is to be a flavor of the week/GO TO build. This artificially lowers the skill cap, which is cool, but it results in a boring, non-interesting metagame.
When you have fewer options, player skill becomes important. Look at the first 10 minutes of an SC2 match. You have very few options and each option is played differently by each player. It is the most crucial part of the game.
After that, each match generally devolves in to whatever flavor of the month end game build there is and, in turn, is snoozy and uninteresting.

2. The wonder DLC is an awful value.

Aug 7th 2011 10:29PM (Joystiq)Blizzard 'working hard' to ship Diablo 3 this year, but no promises
Aug 3rd 2011 6:36PM (Joystiq)Either that or they'll say "WELL, YOU GUYS JUST WAIT FOR ACT 2 TO GET RUNES!" and the game will come out and not be as fun as it could have and then in the expansion they'll give us the ability to customize our characters how we choose.
