Joyswag: Win this $5K dollar gaming rig from Falcon Northwest

Compaq Laptop
3GHz, 1 GB RAM, Radeon 9600 Mobile (runs CS:S well)...thats all the important info on it I suppose.

Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword announced

Mar 28th 2007 7:56PM (Joystiq)
@3: Whaaaaaaa? Civ 4 was great. It finally dealt with the problem of having to watch automated units move, you didn't have to!

Civ 4 allows people to play the game through a variety of different strategies that one simply couldn't do in Civ 2. I personally find cultural victories to be far more satisfying than pure militant combat, mainly because by the time you have to go to war with your enemies you've either captured a # of their cities with culture or they are starving to death due to a lack of territory and growth.

More Civ 4? Yes please.

This Wednesday: Castlevania mania straight from Romania

Mar 16th 2007 1:57PM (Joystiq)
I'm a big fan of the 2D Castlevania games personally and am really looking forward to finally getting to play this one. $10 isn't a bad deal when you consider the original PS1 disc goes for more than that.

Rumor: New Xbox 360 SKU coming May 1?

Feb 19th 2007 10:15PM (Joystiq)
Eh, whatever. I got a 360 today because of a deal way too sweet to pass up. 20% off anything in store + 15% off if you used your Meijer credit card + another 10% off if its your first credit card purchase. So what was my grand total?

$258.

:)

Sony's Jack Tretton and the $1200 quote

This is great! The PS3 was worth 1200 at launch and shortly after, and now its just as valuable without being bought! This is great :D

Who to enhance with a gaming face-lift?

Actually Nintendo did do a remake of the original Zelda with SNES quality graphics, it wasn't perfect but it was much improved and it was called Zelda BS (
for the satellite attachment in Japan).

Plastic discoloration: why your SNES turned yellow

Jan 17th 2007 12:59PM (Joystiq)
My mother decided I was allowed to have a console one year before the release of the N64, which means my console has not discolored in the slightest. Nintendo has always made good hardware and I'm pleased to say my SNES still works :D

Pokemon struggles on Wii

Dec 27th 2006 7:13PM (Joystiq)
I think this would have done quite well if they had waited another 5-7 months to release it. That way more people have the game and the Wii. It may be the game itself or the fact that the Wii user base is just too small as of the moment.

Why Dragon Quest for DS makes sense

Dec 13th 2006 2:42PM (Joystiq)
Burninhell: Yes it has happened before, ever heard of Metroid II: The Return of Samus for the original GB?

I'd like to argue the same with the Shinobi series for the gamegear, but that went from the GG to the Genesis so I suppose that doesn't really count.

Today's hottest game video: Final Fantasy VII trailer [update 1]

Dec 3rd 2006 1:54AM (Joystiq)
I haven't played all of FF7 but I've got to say even THAT trailer has me pumped.
