Xbox Live Arcade takes a break, but Microsoft assures it won't be long
Jan 30th 2007 6:22PM (Joystiq)They both suck. I have about the same amount of XBLA games as I do Wii VC games, and I've now put a stop to buying them, except in rare cases.
XBLA titles are rarely any good, but when they are, they are worth the money (HD, co-op, leaderboards, achievements, multiplayer). But there are so few good XBLA titles, it's hard to call this a winner.
Whereas with the Wii, you get good titles, that you've played before, and even if you haven't, in most cases you could buy the physical game for less than Nintendo's asking price. With no upgrades of any kind. And if you haven't played it before, there is no demo. So where does that leave someone who wants to try before they buy? Suddenly they download a rom, and of those that do, I would wager 1/10 actually purchase the game after they have it for free.
So, in my opinion, they both suck.
That is all. :p
PS3 bike commercial: This is living? This isn't even trying
Jan 23rd 2007 11:09PM (Joystiq)So it's true what they say. UK'ers are rude and bad spellers.
They also love run-on sentences and can't take criticism.
No, I'm not being serious.
Though, the use of the term "xbots" was particularly insightful. Bravo.
Carmack blasts Vista gaming initiative
Jan 12th 2007 12:04AM (Joystiq)Microsoft execs tag-team PS3's online service
Jan 10th 2007 3:49PM (Joystiq)Nothing, and they never advertised it as such.
Of course, to realize this, that would require what we adults call 'critical thinking.'
GameStop pulls out creative stops to move PS3s
Jan 7th 2007 12:01PM (Joystiq)My local Targets, Shopkos, Best Buys, EBs, Gamestops, even my local used game shop "Gamer's" has PS3's. I stopped into a Gamestop last night where a buddy works, and he said he has 8 in back, and more coming next week.
A hoax? Hardly. 3DO? Perhaps.
Sony shortages show signs of slowing?

I won't argue that DOA plays better than Tekken, but come on. "Not much of a difference?" As it stands right now, DOA4 looks better than VF 5 for god's sake (a game that is also coming to the 360).
Rumor: Tekken 6 on Xbox 360
Jan 2nd 2007 4:01PM (Joystiq)Except for the part where the controls are more solid, and the gameplay more fun as a result.
But I guess you'd have to play it to understand that.
Gears of War doing its job as a system seller?
Jan 2nd 2007 2:14PM (Joystiq)Don't be upset the 360 can do effects the PS3 can't. The sooner you accept it, the better for everyone.
Analyst: PS3 will win with 75 million units by 2010
Jan 2nd 2007 1:01PM (Joystiq)Oh wait.. that'd be fair."
Does that have anything to do with looks, aka, what he was talking about?
Or the fact that the Cell or horrendously underutilized at the current state, and he said the games look better now? Which they don't.
Yeah, sorry I forgot to mention that relevant nugget of info.

Jan 2nd 2007 12:53PM (Joystiq)I assume you mean the actual console aesthetics, right? Or do you not realize the 360 GPU is stronger?
