Joystiq impressions: Def Jam Icon

Jan 23rd 2007 6:30PM (Joystiq)
I blew off the Def Jam series at first. I didn't like rap artists (though I do enjoy the ones who don't talk about just sex and booty). I didn't think this game would be of high caliber- it would just sell because of the fans of the rappers. But this game is different.

Its taken a great direction in making it one of the most unique fighters next to Smash Brothers. I definitely see it as being a success, especially with those amazing visuals.

Joystiq hands-on: SSX Blur (Wii)

Jan 19th 2007 6:18PM (Joystiq)
Oh heck yeah. SSX has always been a favorite of mine... yet I never actually bought a game... just rented or borrowed. SSX3 has amazing style- the Wii just multiplies it. For example: They way they did the music was nice... a DJ host brings up a new track for each song, commenting on them; plus you got the music silence when up in the air then blast out again when you land a trick. Always loved it, yet the GC's smaller size didn't allow ALL tracks to be put in. The Wii should have no trouble at all!

The graphics are very beautiful. Not uber realistic as SSX does... just pretty. Animations look terrific too.

Sounds like it'll be yet another staple game for the Wii!

Half-Life 2 is black, orange, and priced

WOW! Thank you Valve! Its like they're just handing us their top games on a silver platter without the hole in your wallet. This will definitely get tons of people out there hooked on Half-Life 2!

Another game to add to the "Reasons to Buy a 360" list!
Yeah- along with:
1. Gears
2. Halo3
3. Lost Planet
4. Dead Rising

First GREAT game to come out for PS3 also.

Rumor: MadCatz Wii-mote

WOW! My residing forums were mentioned in Joystiq! I'm... I dunno... thinking I'm famous at the moment... but its no big deal...

Whatever, let me enjoy it while it lasts.

Half-Life 2 console pack blushes orange

Jan 12th 2007 9:09PM (Joystiq)
Half Life 2: Extreme Citrus Compilation
Half Life 2: Vitamin C Edition

Seriously, what do you really call it? It can't be named a complete pack- they left out Episode 3!

Hm, how bout Half Life 2: 5 games in 1! Super funtime deal!

GameStop pulls out creative stops to move PS3s

Jan 7th 2007 9:29AM (Joystiq)
Stopped by the EB Games in Williamsburg, Virginia here... to buy a Wii.
"Got any Wii's?", I questioned- as I have been searching for one for quite some time now.
"Nope- but TONS of PS3s... I'll sell you mine for 400$!"... WTF, I want a Wii- get off my case.

...

So I demo'd Zelda for the first time... omg, fishing is great.
Wonder if I'll ever find a Wii. I think amazon has some.

Phil Harrison on Rare's decline

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY ONCE FAVORITE COMPANY, MICROSOFT?! They freakin' flourished under Nintendo. From Banjo-Kazooie to Jet Force Gemini, some of my favorite games will no longer have a chance of being rebirthed... in a true-to-the-game fashion that is.
I guess this means Banjo-Kazooie 360 probably won't hold the same heart as it once did. :(

Friday video: Showing off

Jan 1st 2007 11:06PM (Joystiq Nintendo)
Great collection... you must get the cash like crazy to have that much.
I have 11 titles so far, all of which are well worth the payment... especially because of the Cube's death.

Adding my sister's games into the mix, I think thats a total of 18. Of course- I always steal the boxes for collecting purposes.

Funny- I have more boxes I've collected than games. How is that going to be of use?

Anywho, the best DS games I believe to invest money into:
-Advanced Wars
-Mario Kart DS
-Metroid Prime Hunters
-Electroplankton
-Animal Crossing: Wild World
-Tetris DS
-New SMB
-BrainAge/Big Brain Academy
Amazing how great a line up the DS has... this little money printer should stay alive for years to come.

Transformers alternate reality game?

Dec 23rd 2006 8:47PM (Joystiq)
Of course they'er not going to go strait with the Gen-1 designs... thats un-hollywoodlike. But seriously, the real reason they're making them like that is to try and appeal to a new crowd. Fans, though it may sound like it, aren't their prime concern... money is.

I still want to see it- no matter how rediculous Prime's paint job looks or how far they stray from the original. It looks like they're doing a good job, and will turn out to be decent. With Speilburg at the head (saying, "I'm a fan!") IT BETTER BE GOOD!

Joystiq asks: should Penny Arcade be in the webcomic poll?

Dec 6th 2006 11:17PM (Joystiq)
Uhhh... so thats why I never thoroughly got those comics? It was supposed to be attached to news reports? Heck, I don't give a crap enough to find that out.

I think they are still equally funny with the rest of the crowd. Keep em in.
