So I just got GTA:SA through my GameFly and all this game has been is a pit of frustration! Seriously, I RARELY throw my controller down due to game frustration but GTA just pumps me full of it. The controls for GTA:SA feel just as arcaic as GTA 3. What has changed? Sure, we have a decent targeting system, but even that is SERIOUSLY flawed. How can they base the targeting off the view of the

In a surprise move by Sony, they have just today announced that they will launch their PSP system (Play Station Portable) in Japan on December 2 this year with an initial release of 21 games. Oh please sweet Jesus let me survive this system war, the precursor to the console war to end all console wars, with all of my fingers and toes.

EA just released their 2nd quarter numbers ending on September 30, 2004. Needless to say, their numbers are impressive. Let me give you a quick run down: - net revenue at $716 million, up 35 percent over last year’s $530 million - over 4 million units of Madden 2004 have been sold - they still have plans to open up a division in China - a 1.4 billion dollar net

Okay, this game oficially has my respect after me and my Pikmin squad (about 175 strong right now) procured a Dr. Pepper glass bottle cap labeled "Thirst Quencher". Nectar of the Gods I always said. And for the sake of scientific research I flung about 7 Pikmin over the wall of a botomless cave. They screaaammmmeeeeeddd all the way to the bottom. I was naughty, it made me giggle so I wanted

Gamedaily published a really interesting article about some the problems video game magazines need to address. They list 7 problems and all are accurate. The only unfortunate part about the article is it seemed to miss a few other problems present in the majority of major publications. For starters, most mags need to start changing the type of childish topics they tend to cover for filler.

I'd like to thank Cog for HTMLing the hell out of my last post. Actually, I forgot the tag to link a word to a certain website. Maybe a little light can be shed on that for me in the coming days. In other, more personal news I would like to quote my friend Earl: "I've got skin made of solid steel and a heart of the blackest iron." Sigh. Survival sucks sometimes, why do I come equipped with

You know it's strange but Nintendo (namely Camelot) is the only company making sports games that I'm interested in anymore. The only sports game I've bought this generation (excluding Virtua Tennis for the Sega DC) is Mario Golf. I haven't bought an EA sports game since Madden '94 for the Genesis and NBA Live '95 for the SNES - it's not the realism that disinterests me, after all, I was and still

The Katamari Damacy sequel is on the hearts and minds of gamers all across the world. It would be great to hear about a sequel in the works. More importantly, It would great to hear what it might add to the already amazing gameplay. Here are few of my thoughts: - weather effects that influence the physics of your Katamari - levels taking place a night - multiplayer games where the players

Katamari D. has entered my soul and I don't want it to leave. I swear, I've been singing the theme song for the past two days at the most random moments. More importantly, T-$ and I have made KD become a part of our language. It's great. T-$ look at downtown and said, "Man, I really want to roll up downtown Austin." I'll reply, "Roll it up T-$. Roll it up." I ask everyone who is playing this

By Far one of the most depressing pictures I've seen in quite sometime. Get your eyes ready, they're about to bleed: http://forums.planetice.net/showmessage.php?message_id=469061 Sorry. I had to share the sadness. Let me tell you, video game development rocks! There's nothing better than seeing a prototype of a new game. It's great to hear so much about a project and then see it

Eh t's been 2 days since my last post, and it is still all things katamari for me. I can't get it out of my head, it just shines in so many ways. When I look at a game like that I just think how much fun it must be to make a game that good. 'tis a dream, but a noble one. Also enjoying the hell out of Pikmin 2 BTW. The more I play the more I love.

Just in case... you are ever in Mexico and you don't know Spanish, you should know how to ask one very important question: What's you're favorite video game?

I've got this feeling. That all things video game will be funneled into the swirling vortex of nicknacks and dogs and snails and colorful, colorful things that is Katamari Damaci. Brilliant, brilliant game, I have lost the ability to sleep because of it.

UI Morons I wonder what the hell people are thinking when they are creating UI for anything. I mean, who the hell wishes to break from the norm in terms of terminology? For example, do you know what "force gameflow" is? Yeah, I can come up with a few answers myself. The gent who made this debug menu has decided that "force gameflow" will mean "level select". Yeah, stupid! Second, WHY DON'T

However I find it hard to believe that Blizzard would let this many glaring bugs through. I think some of this may be lag related, but either way, why the heck is their so much lag?
