Assassin's Creed 2 writer defends perceived slow start as 'necessary'

Dec 8th 2009 8:51AM on Joystiq

The main problem I have with it is that I took the game to my brother's house and I showed it to him, but we never made it to any cool parts of the game. He didn't have his costume, nothing. It's a hard game to jump in and out of.

When I played through it, I had more time, so it wasn't a big deal. I did like the character progression a bit more than AC1, so it wasn't a bad move to make the character feel more real. I just wish that during the cutscenes more would happen then two people just standing around talking. Way too much exposition (although the first game was worse in that respect as well).

Namco Bandai to publish Heavenly Sword-dev Ninja Theory's next IP

Aug 19th 2009 7:30PM on Joystiq

Ninja Theory posted some post apocalyptic concept art showing what their next IP would be. I think it was about a year ago or so. I wonder if they abandoned that idea to do whatever Namco wants, or if Namco is buying into the concept they showed a year ago?

Either way, I wish there was a Heavenly Sword 2 as well.

TUAW Fitness: An Apple a day makes the weight go away

Aug 3rd 2009 3:45PM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

Ha, even though this is an Apple site, I thought this was going to be more literal. Just last week I started on an Apple diet, you know, those little red things you can eat? It's helped me lose a lot of weight (7 pounds in a week). I fasted on a completely apple-only diet for 24 hours, which helped flush my system (the diet I saw said to do it for two days, but I started to get really hungry). I think it worked. It's good for the liver, kidneys, digestive tract.

Hey, if you're going to go all Apple, then really go all apple!

Impact International to put Sackboy on everything

Aug 3rd 2009 9:08AM on Joystiq

Where's the toy for AMERICA?? I have three nephews and nieces who are dying for a Sackdoll. As consumer driven as we are, it's hard to believe there aren't any sackboys or girls around. This is the second time we've been shafted, since I believe the UK got some limited edition dolls when the game was released. Epic fail, Sony.

New F.E.A.R. 2 DLC flips the script in August

Jul 30th 2009 9:40AM on Joystiq

GREAT! I am so sick of all the multiplayer DLC. I'm a long time gamer and while I like multiplayer, I think it's gotten a bit stale and very mindless. There's nothing new under the sun there, whereas with a single player DLC, you get more of a unique, story-driven experience.

Do you want this freaky toy Nathan Drake?

Where the hell are our LBP dolls?

DC Comics to offer God of War mini-series this October

Jul 16th 2009 9:18AM on Joystiq Playstation

Ok, if this is a lead in to the release of the game, then that would put Sony's release date for GOW III at March. That's a long ways off...

Three million people played Dead Space

Dead Space is a great game. I hope the 3 million people who played will be willing to pick up the inevitable sequel.

Spaced: How Apple gives blog writers apoplexy

Jun 24th 2009 8:07AM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

3G S is impossible to search for since a lot of 3G results turn up. I'm glad it's changed.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm pretty much a complete noob when it comes to camera stuff. My wife loves to take pictures, though. So much so that she literally wore out her first point and shoot camera, and the Kodak Z712 I bought for her less than two years ago is starting to act up as well. To compound the matter, we are expecting our first born sometime next year. I fear the Kodak just isn't going to cut it any longer. What would be the best starter DSLR to get? She hates missing photo opportunities due to camera 'lag' so speed would definitely be at the top of the list. Photo quality and features would be next. Price should be no more than $800. I'm not interested in video capabilities."
