Sony's "full-on assault" on Xbox Live continued

Feb 3rd 2006 2:59PM (Joystiq)
Does the 360 still play games?

Didn't Microsoft start that media-center-convergence-HD-digital-media-integration trend?

What did you expect?
After Microsoft started the ball rolling, Sony must follow or be left behind.

For Sony, it's damned if you don't, damned if you do.

Joystiq Review: Peter Jackson's King Kong (Xbox 360)

Jan 26th 2006 7:18PM (Joystiq)
I'm with Bob.
The graphics are not that good. It's way too dark and drab. (often 2 or 3 shades of color at most)
The voice acting is terrible. Only Kong is well animated.
There are no cutscenes and hence you often find yourself looking in one direction while something you are supposed to see happens in another.

The gameplay is repetitive...as Bob said, the two main elements are burning bushes to clear a path and finding levers to open gates...plus shooting at all sorts of creatures that jump at you...
The story is without emotion...I never cared about any of the characters...

Playing as Kong is the only satisfying piece of the game...even though the New York level is quite bad...

Brief, this is the kind of game that feels like work after 3 hours of play.

I would give it 4.5/10.

PS3 doubts growing

It's not far...Cell is ready to rock and yields have reached acceptable levels for mass production...

Props for Amped 3 [Update 9]

Rating: 9.0/10

It overstates how individual reviews are pointless...

GameFly Rating: 6.6
Based on 384 ratings.

Now, that gives you a better idea of how the average gamer liked this game.

Sony targets Xbox Live with questionnaire

Jan 19th 2006 2:56AM (Joystiq)
Microsoft's fanboys cannot ignore this piece of news, clearly.

Well, guys, since you are so sure Live cannot be matched or beat, why do you get so sweaty and bothered.

Just focus on your 360 and let Sony soil themselves.

Personally, I will tell you what it is when I have it in my hands.
I have no way to tell you if it will be better or worse at this time, but I see no reason why it could not be equal or better.
TCP/IP has been around long before Microsoft even discovered there was an Internet.

Sony Playstation 3: a conceptual design?

Jan 17th 2006 2:11AM (Joystiq)
And maybe, just maybe...Sony is much better at keeping secrets than Microsoft ever will be...and maybe they play mind tricks to drive Ballmer and Gates crazy...and maybe they will have a worldwide launch in April...and maybe you should stop speculating and wait until the middle of next month when everything will be revealed...just maybe...

600,000 Xbox 360 consoles sold in US

Jan 14th 2006 3:24AM (Joystiq)
Microsoft completely blew it.
They rushed to have a 1 Christmas season lead on Sony and they failed to captitalize on it.

Ridiculous. Kutaragi must be laughing his ass off.

Now, PS 3 comes out in Japan in April and it's likely they will sell more PS 3 units on their launch day than Microsoft during the entire Christmas season.

Conclusion: Good try, Microsoft, but not this time.
Try again in 5 years.

CNN predicts PS3 will launch for $500

Jan 11th 2006 4:31PM (Joystiq)
$500 would be just fine.

I mean Xbox 360 + wireless adapter costs as much.

Nintendo DS dominates Japanese charts

Huey2k2,

And I suppose the fact Americans don't use fish as their main food is a proof they hate the Japanese.
And I suppose the fact Americans watch football instead of sumo wrestling proves no matter how good a show they put up, Americans will hate it because it's Japanese.

Come on...

You can't always blame everything on others.

Top Spin 2 shots show a certain sheen on the 360

Jan 10th 2006 11:38AM (Joystiq)
Looks bad...look at her hands...never held a racket that way...

The graphics hunt is ruining gameplay.
If developers spent half of the time they spend on graphics on gameplay, we would make progress.
