Shadows of the Damned director Guarini leaves Grasshopper, forms Ovosonico

Jul 20th 2011 7:31AM (Joystiq)
Shadows of the Damned was genuinely amazing - game of the year so far easy. Most game reviewers were too busy trying to prove they're smarter than dick jokes to get that the joke was on them

I didn't realise the US got cadburys! Best chocolate ever

Australian AG Clark hesitant to pass R18+ rating

Apr 5th 2011 8:42AM (Joystiq)
This is a fairly nuanced issue, which isn't really picked up by the article.

For one, the Australian AG is NOT Clark. Clark is a state AG and not the Commonwealth AG. Victoria is a state which has a long reputation of thinking it knows best when it comes to the country, when it has the mostly costly inefficient regulation in the country. The Commonwealth will overrule Victoria in an instant, and rightly so.

The argument that not having an R18+ means games are that should be rated there are currently rated as being for 15 or lower is the most bizarre argument I have ever read, and can't believe it keeps getting propagated. Frankly, the argument makes absolutely no sense and assumes the OFLC is incapable of doing its job. It's an inane, bizarre, argument that plays into the hands of the opposing team and isn't necessary.

The fact of the matter is that there is an adult population that should have access to adult games. Arguing the absence of an R18+ rating jeopardises kids as it is just jeopardises the few liberties that are currently available.

Bully's Xbox 360 patch may need another patch

I had no problems with this on my launch console prior to the patch and now the audio seems to glitch constantly and it's frozen once. The patch has made my copy worse.

Australia may receive R-rating for games, fewer bans

Where's Tasmania??? The map's missing a whole state!

Consumer check: Halo 3 limited edition may have scratched discs

Just looking at mine now (wooo to living in Australia) and it's absolutely fine. I don't really see how there could be a big problem, the nubs and other protection seem pretty robust.

Joystiq impressions: Wipeout Pulse (PSP)

Jul 19th 2007 9:17AM (Joystiq)
Not sure what your lame status has to do with it, but lucky you for enjoying Wipeout Pure. I bought it for my PSP at launch and have struggled to play it for more than a couple of hours since. I just found it boring. GX, while amazing was slightly disappointing as a sequel to F Zero X though. I liked the greater emphasis on direct attacks on other cars in X.

How is this news?? Nobody outside the US cares about Madden. Why would we?
