King of Kong remake has a new script, penned as a mockumentary

Jul 11th 2011 4:15PM (Joystiq)
Ummmmm, wasn't that what King of Kong was? I mean that is the only way it was enjoyable. Like "Who look how sad and comical these people are.".

By the way, if your big takeaway from the movie was 'that Billy Mitchell guy sucks' or 'that poor Steve, I felt so sorry for him.', you missed the point. Everyone is a funny/depressing figure, except for maybe the guys family. Steve's daughter had the most poignant line of the film.."(on Guinness record book)Some people sort of ruin their lives to be in there..". As in, who cares about the stupid record...besides crazy people?!

Child of Eden down to $35 at Amazon (you're running out of excuses!)

No thanks. And I HAVE Kinect. I don't know that it would be worth more than a 10 dollar rental (or whatever my Gamefly equivalent would be) for the couple of hours of play time it seems to take to play through it...and that's assuming I like it. Otherwise $19.99 sounds more appropriate to me.

Has anyone questioned why CoE isn't a download game?(I'm sure they have) Although, comparing it to other Kinect games I've played, it will probably seem much more of a full fledged game-y-game.

Child of Eden review: A momentary masterpiece

I have a Kinect and I'm still not buying it. I mean figuratively "buying" it. I'll put it in my Gamefly queue eventually and perhaps I'll be won over. I even love Flower and really liked Rez and Frequency, but for some reason the recent videos of CoE have turned me off. The real woman is looks lame and kinda creepy, the music doesn't seem to be all that impressive....but You said its good(great) so I would assume its isnt as bad as it looks to me.

Duke Nukem Forever is all outta bubblegum for UK charts

Jun 13th 2011 11:51AM (Joystiq)
What?! ...and in the UK. I thought I had more respect for them than that.
Who is buying this game? Who is like, Duke Nukem, oh yeah I totally want to BUY that because it looks good? Is there that much nostalgia?
I don't even know what to say. :(

I know people will be like "You haven't even played it." or "Duke was awesome back in the day." or even "Come on, 14 years, you have to at least check it out.".

My responses, in order:
There is no account of it being good or fun.
Duke WAS pretty awesome back in the day...when I was a KID, and I thought alot of stupid stuff was fun/funny.
No, I DON'T have to check it out.

inFamous 2, whats your problem, not toping that f'n chart.

Nintendo stock loses another five percent

Jun 9th 2011 1:40PM (Joystiq)
Hmm, maybe now people will start to kick or take pot shots at Nintendo as they have kinks in their dominant armor. They have sure done it with Sony (You're not #1 anymore, Suck It!). Perhaps those are the vicious cycles.

Or maybe this is just a blip and not a trend. For me, I don't plan on jumping back on the Nintendo bandwagon anytime soon. Until they stop relying so heavily, and almost exclusively, on their 25 year old franchises and start putting efforts into actual NEW titles that aren't just casual or retreads of existing properties, I'm out.

Super Mario 3D trailer is just the best

I grew up on Mario, but at this point if I never play another Mario game again, I think I'd be okay. Good ol Nintendo, still milking the same franchises that recently celebrated 25 years...crazy.

Duke Nukem Forever demo lands June 3 for Borderlands GOTY owners and pre-orders [update]

May 16th 2011 10:49PM (Joystiq)
I have fond memories of playing Duke years ago........buuuuuut, I have Borderlands Game of the Year edition and have no intention of checking out this demo.

Just get this game out so it doesn't take up any more game news/coverage space, please. I suppose there is the slightest chance that it decent and people love it and buy it in great numbers...but I would be shocked.

Nah, that's okay, we're good.

Drowners...if I see those things they are getting a sword though them quickly.

Battlefield, Medal of Honor series discounted on Steam today

May 8th 2011 3:44PM (Joystiq)
So, is the latest Medal of Honor underrated? Is it ragged on because its not Modern Warfare? Should check it out? I'm probably more interested in the single player.

I have to give them credit, EA has been doing well as far as putting stuff on sale over the past year.
