2K Sports on NBA Elite: We 'don't care' if EA Sports has a basketball game

Jun 9th 2011 10:40PM (Joystiq)
So is there a major North American sports league with competing titles this year, or have exclusive licenses and crappy dev work ruined it for everyone?

Flight game 'War Wings: Hell Catz' coming from ... Mad Catz

@R Planteer

In the time I ran the local Gamestop, we had a higher rate of returns on MadCatz controllers (this was 2005-2007, so they may have gotten better, I don't know). In the era of PS2/Xbox/Gamecube, first-party controllers were better values - you spent twice the money and got a product that lasted four times as long.

So my squad will awkwardly drop their guns every time they get hit?

Minecraft to enter Beta phase Dec. 20, modder support coming in future updates

I'm anxious to see what the Beta release notes say about the update. for example, will Marcus finally switch over to lanterns?

One million Xbox 360s sold down under

Are the Australian figures affected at all by the restrictions on selling mature titles?

LEGO Harry Potter Collector's Edition magically increases the price by $20

Apr 21st 2010 8:47AM (Joystiq)
Collector's Editions come in two varieties: a waste of money, or completely unfair advantage. The vast majority of Collector's Editions fall into the first category. They charge an extra $10-$20 for a DVD, a trinket, and maybe a poster. I've lost count of the number of titles which have been sold with this crap. A few years ago when I ran the local Gamestop, I usually recommended that customers skip a collector's Edition unless it gave actual additional game content. But then, on occasion, you get the second category, as was the case with Battlefield: Bad Company. The premium weapons were entirely unbalancing.

It's hard to get this balance right, and I can't think of a title which did.

BBC bringing Doctor Who: The Adventure Games to PC, Mac

Apr 8th 2010 11:28AM (Joystiq)
When they say "adventure game", I wonder if the games are going to be in the mold of Dragon's Lair, Kings Quest/Space Quest, or Monkey Island?

Sid Meier talks player psychology and the year of Civilization

Your nation is called to come and witness the wonder of Sid Meier! Absolutely no scribes allowed!

'Chaos Rising' in Dawn of War II on March 11

Feb 22nd 2010 2:06PM (Joystiq)
Ah, but that is the beauty of the 40k universe. There are no good guys, only varying degrees of bad guys. The fluff on the Imperium of Man is actually rather depressing, which is why the Tau have become so popular, I'd wager
