Nvidia posts $141 million loss in Q2, consumer business to blame

Aug 13th 2010 3:47PM (Joystiq)
Considering it's damn near impossible to find a decently priced laptop with an nVidia GPU these days, I can see why.

ATI is eating nVidia's lunch right now.

Survey: Atari brand awareness low among younger gamers

If Bushnell knew what was good for Atari, he'd bring back some previously successful franchises and modernize them. As gamers, we know this is a cheap move, but it's been proven time and time again that IT WORKS.

Give us a mind-blowing Asteroids, Tempest, Klax, Marble Madness, 720 Degrees, STUN Runner, and Road Blasters for the modern age. Don't just package up old ROMs in an emulator, give us NEW CONTENT with gameplay that WORKS.

Gauntlet Legends, San Fran Rush and Viper TRX were great games from a (relatively) recent Atari. Update these gems and give us new games based on them!

It's obvious that Atari-grames doesn't seem to know where their successes lie, or how to capitalize on them. THIS IS HOW!

Sunsoft acquires Telenet game catalog (think: Valis, Cosmic Fantasy)

Dec 11th 2009 2:04AM (Joystiq)
Sunsoft on the NES was what to Telenet/Renovation was on the Mega Drive/Genesis.

Let's hope they don't go all Sonic Team and forget how to make good games.

Standalone DJ Hero controllers now available for $70

Dec 2nd 2009 3:32AM (Joystiq)
I own DJ Hero and have devoted quite a bit of time trying to figure out why people like this thing so much. I love rhythm games, but I am way tired of Activision trying to recreate Konami's Japanese market in the US.

DJ Hero is an above average rhythm with about HALF if its mixes being vaguely interesting. DJ Hero is a half-assed attempt at trying to americanize Beatmania IIDX, and a pathetic attempt at that. Littering the hooks of otherwise perfectly fine songs with a series of obnoxious and repetitive scratches and sample loops does not a remix make. What it does is drives people who enjoy the originals out of the room.

I'll concede that there are some inventive, and daring mashups, but most are just annoying to listen to. Nevermind that DJ Hero is anything like actual DJing, any more than Guitar Hero is representative of actually playing guitar, though I don't think anyone is saying it is...There isn't even any beatmatching for fucking out loud!

DJ Hero is just barely worth playing alone (And you WILL play alone, because watching people play it is boring, and the songs are just barely familiar), let alone 2-player for the obscene price of admission.
