Joyswag: PS3 Holiday Games Bundle

Dec 17th 2009 2:26PM on Joystiq

Nice.

But in a sort of naughty way.

Battlefield: Earth sucked.

What hits the floor just after the Rubik's Cube? Is that a silicone implant?

Games on Demand has a high-price Monopoly

I think it's hilarious that you guys rail against the high price of the game, yet there's a link to add the game to your queue at the bottom of the article.

Screen Actors Guild rejects video game voice deal

Oct 30th 2009 7:27AM on Joystiq

Maybe you haven't seen any of the behind-the-scenes videos for Uncharted or Uncharted 2, where the voice actors do all of the motion capture work. . . most games don't have the actors do everything -- yet -- but the industry is changing.

Screen Actors Guild rejects video game voice deal

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who is disgusted by Variety's use of "industry" jargon. They use made-up words like "skedded" for "scheduled", "prexy" for "president" and "The Alphabet" for the ABC Network. That kind of unnecessary crap drives me nuts.

What an updated Road Rash might've been

Normally, a "pre-vis" is just a video that represents what the developers want the gameplay to look like.

You don't usually hear the term "pre-vis" used in game development; it's normally used in the motion picture industry as sort of a "moving storyboards".

My guess is that it's probably pre-rendered and not being rendered on-the-fly in an early game engine, but I could be wrong.

Uncharted 2's cinematic properties parodied in PS3 commercial

Not a PS3 *on* the beach. A PS3 *at* the beach. We stay in a beach house for a week. Luckily, the beach house had 42-inch LCD TVs. :)

Uncharted 2's cinematic properties parodied in PS3 commercial

My wife liked to watch me play the original Uncharted. And when it took the PS3 to the beach on her yearly family beach trip, I had an audience of 3-4 people watching me play. They were all amazed at how "movie-like" the game was.

Swag Saturday: Guitar Hero 5 with Logitech Wireless Drums (PS3)

I'm going to be celebrating Rocktober with Brutal Legend and Uncharted 2. How could Rocktober be better? I submit that it could not.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
