Battleship movie adapted into FPS by Double Helix

Feb 8th 2012 12:40PM (Joystiq)
@Xei

Saw a preview, they have space ships and aliens in it.

Why?

Why not write a movie about an alien invasion in which the Navy, as opposed to the Air Force is called upon to save the day. Why do you have to call it and base it on a board game that the end result barely will resemble the source material. Do they think people will go see this because it carries the same name of a board game they played 30 years ago? I will be less likely to ever watch this movie because of its name.

Oh, though it did look better than the first GI Joe movie. That was a pile of f*cking garbage and had GREAT source material.

XBL GM responds to Live security concerns

I have no MySpace, Facebook, LinkedIn or any other sort of online presence. I never click on a link in an email, even if I KNOW it is from my bank or other financial institution. I ALWAYS go to a new chrome window and get there from my favorites.

My Amazon account was still used to purchase a $200 gift card mailed to a new address. Amazon spotted this and stopped it.

With a completely random password, never writing that password down or telling it to anyone, and having slight difference from every other password I use, and never using a non personal computer to buy anything on Amazon how did someone buy a gift card and use my password on my Amazon account?

Simple answer; they didn't. A security hole was exploited. Amazon will not tell me how it happened other than, "You must have given your password to someone". Which is mother f*cking BS, same thing here.

Scope out this Ghost Recon: Future Soldier gameplay

Ah, it is Future Soldier. He sneaks up, tags the enemies, and fires the self guiding bullets to kill them all.

Like the tagline says, only the dead fight fair.

Did you see the story about Sandia National Labs having developed self guiding bullets? Pretty neat. Got the processors and systems so small that they fit in the bullet and guide it to the target.

More futuristic weapons and ideas in this game probably than in Dues Ex. No one said this was a stealth game but you.

Any apps in there that will make you smarter? Or literate? Or a benefit whatsoever to the human race?

I didn't think so. Go blow dry your hair in the bath tub, you waste of oxygen and other vital life giving resources.

Neverdead review: Devil may try

On Joystiq's star scale, three stars means, "Maybe, but only if you like this type of game and are able to forgive some problems."

That would also be a 60% on the meta-critic translation scale. Not a very good score.

For someone who is not a Devil May Cry or Bayonetta type game fan, obviously this means stay away from this one.

Cuz as we all know, animation translates perfectly into a user controlled videogame experience, and vice versa.

Another indie dev points to Zynga similarity with cheeky chart

@JohnFordColey

Well, they have treasure chests unlocked by rewarded keys. Zynga has crates unlocked by rewarded keys. Those are two completely different things.

I wish I was clever enough to add to this discussion.

+1 to all of you. Fan-tastic!


I would just add that I think the only female Alien is the queen...so this is sort of a man on man thing going on. Oh well, in the future, the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell allows all sorts into the military. But I would have a problem with this.

Pummel history's worst Mega Man in Street Fighter X Tekken

@soraalam1

Why is Mega Man a middle aged man with a beer belly?

"I'm not a fat middle aged man, I'm just drawn that way."

That's a good reason to make him look like that in an updated game.

Deadlight first details: The meaning of 1986

@Fawst

Not a flaw in your argument, but a flaw in the naming conventions of the Rambo movies.

If Rambo III follows Rambo: First Blood Part II, then that would assume it is the third Rambo movie. Meaning the first movie in the trilogy was First Blood. That is why some people refer to that movie as Rambo: First Blood.

I always thought Rambo III should have been called Rambo II as it was the second movie to carry the Rambo name. But it was the third movie ABOUT Rambo.
