• Wii Makes Zelda "complicated"

  Tue May 9, 2006
  • Whilst I agree it's not going to be as immediate to in Zelda's instance only as the DS stylus is, wouldn't you agree pointing your controller at the screen like an arrow is far more intuitive than simply presenting the player with two, non-descript thumbsticks? Much less intimidating I think, too, …

• Anatomy of shame: Dual Shake vs. Wiimote

  Tue May 9, 2006
  • I think TrippleWobble is techincally more accurate...

• Battlefield 2142 Confirmed

  • If we want to discuss originality, then we're going to have to dismiss a vast majority of the games out there today. -Bwana

• Battlefield 2142 Confirmed

  Wed Mar 22, 2006
  • I'd say this was a very poor decision on EA's part. It does nothing for the Battlefield brand, which is renowned for it's pseudo-realism based on actual conflicts. Trying to do this with a non-reality means 2142 will be missing a core element of the Battlefield experience (in my honest opinion).

• Sony PS3 copies Microsoft's XBox 360 rollout plan a year later

  Wed Mar 15, 2006
  • Sony could very well end up loosing market share across the board - to Nintendo in Japan and to Microsoft in US/Europe, but I think that [launching PS3 globally is] probably their best bet in order to avoid giving up too much ground in one particular area. - John Riley

• Is Rare's Viva Pinata what Microsoft needs for the Xbox 360?

  Wed Mar 15, 2006
  • I find it rather ironic that, after the shoeing many people have given Nintendo Revolution - before it's even released, on account that Nintendo supposedly only make "kids" games - the hottest Xbox 360 property of the moment is... a kids' game.

• Analyst: Halo 3 Back in PS3 Launch Frame

  Wed Mar 15, 2006
  • Way to go, "analyst" - regurgitate an obvious and very, very old rumour. This has been kicking around before the Xbox 360 was even close to launch, when it was made clear PS3 would launch significantly later than Microsoft's platform.

• PlayStation 3 OFFICIALLY postponed until November

  Tue Mar 14, 2006
  • 9 months' delay? Ouch - that's a lot of lost revenue for a company that desperately needs to make some cash. The most telling point will be how much the system sells for when it does finally arrive. It also remains to be seen what the general public will make of Blu-Ray and the like, too.

• Dead Dual Shock?

  Tue Mar 14, 2006
  • ...and?!

• Destination PlayStation: Sony promise 'something special' but PS3 nowehere in sight

  Mon Mar 6, 2006
  • It would appear that Joystiq's predictions were correct. There's going to be one heck of a gaming bun-fight this Christmas...
