Ticket to Ride Pocket adds tracks to 1910 Expansion

Feb 24th 2012 9:40AM (Joystiq)
This app is phenomenal, and I encourage everybody to give it a try.

Alexander: Please avoid using the phrase "based off", it's improper and makes me itchy. You can "build off" or "base on", but you can't "base off". Thanks!

ESRB rates Parasite Eve for PS3 and PSP

Feb 25th 2011 5:26PM (Joystiq)
@Ryuk The original Parasite Eve on PS1 was phenomenal and pretty unlike anything else out at the time (and, actually, its particular mix of turn-based and real-time combat is one treat I'm not sure I've experienced since). I'd highly recommend it if it wasn't so dated. Honestly, the graphics on games that old are hard for me to look at these days. I never played the rest of the series because they were all PSP-only, something I consider to be practically a high crime against gamers older than 15. I'd love to see a remake of the original or a new entry in the series on a non-portable console.

12 Days of Joyswag: Fable 3 rucksack with Collector's Edition, book, and controller

Dec 20th 2010 8:43PM (Joystiq)
In GTA 3 there was a bug that made it impossible to get 100% completion, but you could only tell if you'd hit it approximately 30 hours into the game. I hit it alright, twice. Nothing I could do. Fortunately this was on the PS2, long before achievement-fever.

12 Days of Joyswag: Mafia 2 gun-shaped lamp and game

You guys make my guts shake like a bowel full of jelly.

Joyswag: Suit up for Monday Night Combat [update: giveaway closed]

Aug 11th 2010 10:52AM (Joystiq)
For restaurant week in Washington, DC my wife and I went to a high-end seafood place run by a guy who was on IronChef. I had bacon-wrapped scallops in a squid ink sauce that was honestly one of the top three or four meals I've ever eaten (and I've had some good ones). Delicious!

Joyswag: Risk: Black Ops board game & Risk: Factions XBLA codes

Risk: Black Ops is beautiful and I promise to care for it, always.

You Don't Know Jack is coming back

Jun 22nd 2010 9:48AM (Joystiq)
You certainly speak for me!

I was a *huge* fan of Jack games in the mid-1990s, and there's a Cookie-shaped hole in my heart where the new editions should be. How much fun would this be over Xbox Live?!

My secret dream would be the ability to play it over Skype or gChat with friends and family who may not have a gaming system.

"Tatu" (Antonio Carlos Pecorari) formerly of the Dallas Sidekicks. The only person to win player of the year and coach of the year in the same season!

JBO: Joystiq Box Office, January 4 - January 8, plus Joyswag!

Just watched Triplets of Bellville and loved it. I'd also love a copy of Moon. Thanks, Joystiq!

Swag Saturday: Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure (Wii) [update]

Aug 22nd 2009 9:43PM (Joystiq)
A first-person-perspective MMO based on the Myst series. You interact with other players as well as world objects with the Wii-mote and all work together to solve puzzles created by the "enemy" faction as well as create puzzles too difficult for the enemy team to solve. Spoiler alert: the wold is cleansed of both factions by a benevolent third faction when any player puts his page into the green book instead of blue or red.
