Worms wiggles wantonly onto XBLA next Wednesday

Mar 2nd 2007 7:13AM (Joystiq)
Ah, this makes me want to go buy an Xbox360 even more. Come'on pricedrop or bigger hard drive.

Castlevania: portrait of unboxing [update 1]

Well, preordering didn't guarantee anything. I've heard many people never did get their bonuses, even if they preordered months ago. I preordered 2 weeks ago and managed to get the bonus. Luckily I didn't show up to the EB later than I did, they only had 5 bonuses left (1 of which was damaged) and a big stack of around 20 pre-orders left. It was also apparent that they were giving them out first come, first serve.

Good thing for them that the DS is region-free.

Nintendo's Wii component cables back in stock

Thanks for the heads up. Just put an order in.

Watch 3 videos, get DX10 and Vista for free

Nov 30th 2006 7:13AM (Joystiq)
It won't let me actually watch the videos. When I go to watch them I get the message "The requested recording could not be viewed. The recording ID or password may be incorrect." It appears that it still shows that I viewed them, but I was kind of interested in watching them. I am a developer and probably would have found these interesting. Oh well ._.

eBay hypes up game system auctions

Nov 21st 2006 6:37PM (Joystiq)
Yea I noticed this. It's just keeping the Wii prices jacked up and keeping me from buying one yet. I managed to win an auction just a few dollars over retail but the selling refunded me saying "I was unable to take this auction down before it was over." eBay is trash. People need to stop bidding on the same systems as everyone else and just find one system to bid on. Everyone bidding on the most recent system is keeping the prices $100-150 over retail.

Nintendo's new Zelda falls flat

Nov 12th 2006 12:26AM (Joystiq)
The sign mechanism has been a part of the Zelda franchise since Link's Adventure.

The whole graphics argument is annoying. I have never cared about how good a game looks, as long as it's fun. Honestly, I would rather they have just left it at the last generation for another couple of years. But to each is own.

The colors complaint.. well what do you expect? All the people that moaned about Wind Waker's cel-shaded graphics is the cause of Twilight Princess's appearance. I personally loved the graphics in Wind Waker, what turned me off was the damn boat. Pretty much ever other Zelda game has been bright and colorful except for this one, which I need to say, no one has completed the whole game yet, so it might not use that color scheme all the way through. And if it does and it really bothers you? Blame all the people that whined about Wind Waker's (beautiful) graphics.

One more thing to add about this whole "next-gen" rush. God of War 2 will be coming out for PS2 next year. Later.

Capcom releases budget Resident Evil & DMC collections

#5, please read over the post carefully. They are selling collections which consist of 3 games each for $40.

Sony lawsuits force Lik-Sang to close up shop [update 1]

Oct 24th 2006 1:07PM (Joystiq)
I sent this article in earlier. Thank you Sony, for causing the shutdown of one of my favorite online retailers. So much for planning on buying a PS3 just for MGS4. I'll wait for the emulator.

I hope that Microsoft wins the lawsuit against Sony.

I'm just sick of hearing the name Sony:
Sueing Lik-Sang out of business.
Raping the European consumers.
Pushing their unimportant Blu-Ray format. (What, no one has ever heard of multi-disc games? Has anyone even looked at HD video content next to DVD content? Barely noticable, at least for the average consumer.) Rootkits.
Exploding batteries.
Their huge ego.
They can't even make decent televisions anymore.

I did have a little interest in getting a PS3 once the pricedrops came around. It's not just a case of "Don't like it, don't buy it." now. They just overstepped their boundaries by forcing Lik-Sang out of business. I want to see them fail miserably.

F*** you, Sony.

Microsoft whines, sues Sony... now that's just sad

Oct 24th 2006 11:39AM (Joystiq Playstation)
Sweet. This is the first Microsoft lawsuit that I am happy about. I hope they win, and I hope it becomes highly publicized.
