Ham blasting gives 'Kosher' Ghostbusters Achievement

Jun 24th 2009 10:28AM (Joystiq)
Have you seen the gifts we get on Hanukkah? Every night we get a dreidel or piece of chocolate shaped like a coin!

Plus we worship the fact that oil lasted 8 days instead of 1. How lame is that! We are the only religion to have a holiday sponsored by Exxon.

Oh, and bring back Arrested Development!!!

Nega-Review: Gears of War 2

Nov 10th 2008 9:35AM (Joystiq)
Not being a fan of stories in general, I was disappointed by how slowed down the game was by the constant unstoppable cut-scenes.

Plus there was an awfully large amount of just walking around, as if the developers REALLY wanted the user to acknowledge the game's beauty.

Its a good game (and a must buy), but at least in single-player, I prefer the original.

PS3 harming Blu-ray acceptance

DVD was a revolutionary jump from tape. It really changed everything.

Blu-Ray and HD-DVD, while nice is NOT a revolution, its just a nice upgrade.

Blu-Ray will probably win, but win what exactly no one knows. I am guessing, not much.

Analyst: Sony shakeup means no PS4 [update 1]

Dec 1st 2006 10:47AM (Joystiq)
Not going to happen!

Considering how MUCH R&D went into the PS3, and considering how LITTLE R&D will be needed for the PS4, I think a successor is certain.

What will the PS4 look like? It will probably have:

1. A 200GB Blu-Ray (no R&D needed)

2. A quad 45nm CELL with only minor changes (very little R&D needed, MS has to start from scratch)

3. No software re-training as CELL is already multi-threaded. Adding more CELL's is a LOT more of the same.

4. More RAM, more bandwidth, rumble, perhaps an EDRAM daughter card

The only drastic change will be the RSX, which was a dissapointment considering the price.

Sony made HUGE investments this round so they wouldn't have to make it next round.

The CELL's brilliance is how easily it can be ugraded. It will be around for 15 years

MotorStorm stalled

Kikizo has a review of the LATEST build, which apparently is FAR better than the retail demos.

To summarize:

"It's possibly even better looking that the infamous target trailer shown 18 months ago."

"So the game plays like a dream, to be quite honest."

"Clearly, this is the most awesome thing ever. "

"if there's one game that really shows off the POTENTIAL of the PS3 beyond Xbox 360 right now, absolutely it's MotorStorm,"

"There's something about the lighting in MotorStorm that's pornographically attractive."

Psychonauts picks up Steam in October

Sep 16th 2006 12:25AM (Joystiq)
When oh when will Psychonauts be backwards compatible?

My original xbox broke down about 10% in, and I purchased a 360 thinking I would be playing my favorite games soon enough.

Oh, Destroy All Humans and Mercenaries would be nice too.

SCEA: PSP price drop to $199 on March 22nd; EyeToy, GPS, and PSone game-download support coming later

The Canadian dollar is worth about 89 cents US.

(damn our socialist-hoser paradise!!!)

Someone got a hold of a PS3 controller?

what does that background look like to you?

The cabinets suggest a bedroom... not a likely place for a piece of concept hardware.

White, gay, jewish, rapper does RPG encounter

Feb 2nd 2006 5:20PM (Joystiq)
Everybody just relax... I am a jew and I am giving everybody full permission to laugh this one off. (you still need permission from a random stranger in the gay community but they are usually pretty cool...) :)

No boycotts, embassy closures, or bomb threats necessary! :)

Besides, this is such an obvious zionist conspiracy... everybody knows jews have no rhythm :) (props to cartman)

IGN 2005 awards round-up

Dec 25th 2005 12:42AM (Joystiq)
Am I the only person who played Jade Empire for 30 minutes, scrolled through endless text, and returned it for $30 less than you paid for it?

As for 360, Call of Duty 2 ROCKS!!!

Its single-player game is the only shooter that can actually move you emotionally!

(well, Perfect Dark's lack of savepoints makes me cry, but that doesn't really count)
