Report: Telltale porting its games to Mac, hints at iPad

Jan 31st 2010 11:51AM (Joystiq)
Whooo! I bought the Windows versions, but never play them because I hate booting into Windows. It would be SUPER-COOL if I didn't have to pay all over again.

PSN Thursday: Vomit up $7 for Critter Crunch, support the disgustingly adorable

Oct 8th 2009 8:08PM (Joystiq)
Wow, 96 PSP games and 4 PSone games last week, and today ... nothing but Pandemonium. When it rains it pours.

Interview: SCEA's Eric Lempel on Amazon's PSN offerings

If people still want to do the UMD swap, this Amazon deal is the next best thing. You can sell your old games back to Amazon for trade-in credit, then use those proceeds to buy PSN stuff straight from Amazon It would be nice if the entire PSN store were available there, but I guess we have to wait for that.

Independent UK retailer boss expects PSP Go to 'fail miserably'

Oct 7th 2009 5:10PM (Joystiq)
Honestly, who cares what a retailer thinks of an online-only solution?

Chips, GAME, and the USA's Gamestop care about themselves, and maintaining their pawnshop business model for buying used games for pennies on the dollar and selling them back for big money. These parasites aren't adding any value to the game market, and can just bugger off for all I care.

I just got a PSP Go and love it. It's the teeny weeny PSP I always wanted, no stupid Walkman-style minidisc in there to crap things up.

When I traded my 3000 and 3 ancient UMD games for $100 off the Go at Gamestop, both the clerk and I knew that I wouldn't be coming back for anything ... just like it's been for the past several years.

MTV teams up with Mega Man to compare console download speeds

Feb 3rd 2009 8:13AM (Joystiq)
Useless comparison IMHO, and here's why:

1. The Wii has too little storage for me to buy many WiiWare or Virtual Console games. I've filled up the memory once, and it's too much of a PITA to move things around or re-download them. PS3 and 360 are my machines of choice for downloads for this reason. When will Nintendo fix this obvious, fatal flaw?

2. PSN downloads to PS3 must be compressed, which reduces transit time but requires an annoying, attended installation of each file. As someone who really likes downloading and playing games and demos, this is a major fun killer. At least the disk is easy to upgrade for extra space.

3. The XBOX 360, especially with an upgraded hard drive, provides the best experience, provided you have a decent connection to start with. Unattended downloads with no added installation step + lots of storage is the one to beat IMHO.

Joyswag: PlayStation 3 (40GB)

I like buying games online -- Amazon if I really need a disc, but direct download is the best when it's available. I'm also a fan of Goozex for trades.

Joyswag: Win a copy of Ikaruga (XBLA)

Apr 10th 2008 12:03AM (Joystiq)
I like GUARDIAN HEROES (on the Sega Saturn) the best.

Xbox Live Diamond card to have annual fee

Jan 8th 2008 10:16PM (Joystiq)
I keep thinking I'd use the Quiznos coupons, but alas, I never have. The thing is useless to me, and with a fee attached, now it's worse than useless. What could they possibly be thinking here?

Rumor: JetMoto making a return on PS3?

Sep 26th 2007 12:18AM (Joystiq Playstation)
Yes, a Jet Moto remake would be amazingly sweet, especially if they brought back the character art style and the crazy soundtrack. The first one was far and away the best, in my humble opinion.

Like others have said, a revisted, online-friendly Colony Wars would be welcome as well, especially since this genre seems to have died out lately. Even Blast Radius would be fun to have in modern form. I wish the Star Wars games would have worked out the multiplayer FUN aspect by now -- Battlefront is nice but more dogfighting would be terrific.

Bushido Blade was great, but it's not a Sony property. Ask Square Enix to reissue it on the Nintendo DS or something. :-P

Fatal Intertia demo now on Live

Aug 2nd 2007 9:53AM (Joystiq)
Looks OK, but plays like poo -- the framerate of the 360 version feels like 30FPS, and the level design of the demo tracks are like abbreviated versions of those seen 10 years ago in Star Wars Racer.

The producer's gender identity confuses me ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hu6bOcZu6w0
