StarCraft 2 to be released as a trilogy {Joystiq}
Oct 10th 2008 7:09PM What they didn't mention is that you have to buy and install all three in order to select that race in multiplayer, thus ensuring that the Zerg expansion outsells all other expansions by an order of a magnitude...
Point/Counterpoint: Nintendo DSi {DS Fanboy}
Oct 10th 2008 2:08PM I'm not buying a DSi at launch. Hell, if my current Crimson Red DS breaks after the DSi launch, I'd get another DSLite instead.
I'm currently not interested in an expensive and mediocre DSLite, the lack of a gba port and higher price-tag killed it for me. They could've removed one of those cameras and drop a dollar off the price...
Wii Points officially being renamed to 'Nintendo Points' {Nintendo Wii Fanboy}

Go to sleep self. The news will be there in the morning....

Wii Warm Up: Mega Busted {Nintendo Wii Fanboy}
Sep 28th 2008 4:18PM (Replying to your reply)
As for MM9 being between 2 and 3? That makes little-to-no sense, since the ending clearly shows that Megaman has defeated Dr Wily more than twice ;-)
Wii Warm Up: Mega Busted {Nintendo Wii Fanboy}
Sep 27th 2008 12:06PM I would've liked an in-game explanation as to why those features are missing. "Its based off Megaman 2" doesn't cut it for me.
The game sometimes feels like a quick cash job, there's a lot of missing features from it, like lack of GCube pad support, or not supporting L and R for switching for those of us that use the classic controller.
I enjoyed it nonetheless, but I found out I'd rather play a MMX (Or Megaman & Bass, or MM8) than MM9...
Point/Counterpoint: 2D vs. 2D {Nintendo Wii Fanboy}
Sep 26th 2008 8:16PM As for the 2d vs 2d question... I think Ninty did it best with New Super Mario Bros: Updated graphics, updated engine, same goodies (Mushroom and Flowers) along with new goodies (Mega Mushroom and Blue Shell).
Point/Counterpoint: 2D vs. 2D {Nintendo Wii Fanboy}
Sep 26th 2008 8:14PM The one thing I disliked about Megaman 9 is its stubborness to stick to "retro".
It doesn't feel "retro" when you can't play it with your gamecube controllers because devs are too lazy to implement a working joystick.
It doesn't feel "retro" when they don't give us the OPTION to switch weapons using L or R as in later snes games when using the Classic pad.
It also feels like a step back from Megaman games. I know its supposed to "look and feel like Megaman 2", but no charging the Mega-buster? No dash? (Jump while pressing down), not even the Megaman+Rush fusion.
*SpOiLeR*: Otoman-Pray doesn't appear in the mid-game at all! *Spoiler*.
It does feel like a quick cash job tbh, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy every minute I've played of it, or every time I died.
Amazon's Spore reviews vanish in 'glitch', return soon after {Joystiq}
Sep 12th 2008 9:08PM Can't speak for the masses, but I think its related to the fact that Mass Effect is available on Xbox and is nowhere near as famous and controversial as Spore.
GameStop not concerned about digital distribution {Joystiq}
Aug 22nd 2008 2:52PM Exactly.
I bought the Orange Box and Half Life: Source off Steam a week ago. I didn't mind leaving my PC downloading everything for the night, the next day I was ready to play.
While gamers do expect instant gratification upon purchase (At least I was anxious to try Team Fortress), buying online was quick, easy and painless.
Mega Man 9's item shop is the future of Mega Man's past {Nintendo Wii Fanboy}
Aug 14th 2008 1:16PM What about Rush?
I loved fusing him with Megaman (And Bass with Treble in MM8.5)
I'm glad Beat's there, and same with Eddie, but Rush is where mah heart is!
I'd also love to take on Dr. Wily using a Roll dress/costume and a weird haircut.
