From now on during the weekdays, I plan to run through the morning’s gaming news from various websites (joystiq.com, n4g.com, etc.) since its a bit of a hassle reading through all the lame news and worthless posts.
Here goes nothing:
Joystiq.com
Playstation 3 Street Fighter II HD priced at $14.99
What is Capcom smoking? Don’t get me wrong I’m a fan of Capcom and Street Fighter, but with SFIV out in just a few months how can they possibly think that 15 bucks is the right price for this? I think that I’ll be passing on this one.
Gamestop assimilates $1.7 billion in Q3 sales
Dont even get me started on Gamestop, I don’t think I’ve ever had a decent shopping experience which is why I don’t buy my games there…like…ever! You plunk down your $62.23 for what you think is a brand new shiny game, but instead the clerk says “I’ll be right back” preceeded by the slow death march to the store’s shelves to grab a dusty cover with about 4-5 dirty price stickers on them…lets not even talk about how your game is worth $13 bucks but then they try to sell it for $55 to the next gamer. NOT COOL!
Midway receives delisting notice from NYSE
What the hell do you expect? when 9 out of the last 10 games you’ve released over the past 10 years start and end with “Mortal Kombat”, I used to play that shit like 15 years ago, today…not so much.
Gamestop: Good luck getting Wiis this Christmas
Annnd back to my favorite company [/sarcasm], I don’t care what Nintendo says, this whole mess of not being able to duct tape 2 Gamecubes together fast enough is BULL-SHIT.
N4G.com
MS Rep: They fed us to the lions
This is hilarious/fucked up at the same time, one one hand Microsoft shrewdly decided to launch the NXE after the 3 year warranty was up for RROD on the 360s, so if the NXE bricked your 360 and you’re a loyal Microsoft who has owned a 360 since launch then gues what? You are shit out of luck! On the other hand you have the MS reps getting angry phonecall after angry phonecall from people who get furious once they let them in on the big surprise…poor bastards.
Note to MS: Thats some fucked up shit.
Gamepro reviews The Last Remnant (Xbox360)
An interesting and risky experiment, Square Enix’s latest epic proves itself a mixed bag, never quite rising above mediocrity. Featuring an ambitious tale hampered by constant and confusing battles, The Last Remnant never quite delivers the typical epic RPG experience that the company is known for.
Score: 3.5
Ouch.
Kotaku
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II ‘Battle’ gameplay
As I’ve mentioned before I’m a big fan of RTS games and this one is no different, been in the no. 2 spot as far as RTS PC games are concerned (no. 1 would definately be Company Of Heroes). I’ve been wanting to get my grubby hands on it ever since the first Dawn of War game was released.
Wii Games Hit Bargain Bin Faster than PS3, 360 ones
This ones easy, the majority of Wii games , especially non-Nintendo ones suck. Period. Dont get me wrong I beleive Wii was a breath of fresh air for the gaming industry, but name for me please the top 5 games on the Wii, thats right! You can’t!
Enjoy,
MEAHT
