  1. WOW, THAT WAS... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Xbox 360 Gets Backwards Compatible, Final Fantasy

    Unimpressive. Select backwards compatibility on select titles, meh graphics, not too interesting multimedia/entertainment hub features, and other features like allowing people to watch deathmatches? That one has existed on PCs for quite some time, was all of this really suppose to get me excited for the xbox360?

    Heck, even the proposed launch line up is unimpressive. Yawn, re-hashed sequels and franchisees with litte changes or anything new, your usual sports tittles, etc. Plus given how Rare planed Kameo to be a Gamecube title, it was going to be a Xbox1 title, and their current track record, I have to say I doubt it will be released.

    Heck, Rare are finally going to release their Conker remake, something they started way back when the Xbox was first planed. If they release Kameo at all, at least look forward to it at the end of the Xbox360's life cycle.

  2. PS3 not quite so fast after all by Namarrgon · · Score: 1 · on Live Picture of the Next Xbox
    Don't forget this one too.

    Sadly, IBM, who is manufacturing the chips for Sony is having problems fabbing an eight-SPU version of the chip for the console.

  3. Yep, they will.... by ReKleSS · · Score: 1 · on Acquittal in Drunken Homicide via GTA

    While a link to TFA is nice, this picture it links to is much nicer.

  5. Read the Full GBA Report Here by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 3, Informative · on Next-gen Game Boy to Hit Stores This Year?

    Kotaku has the analyst's entire report. Check it out for all the nitty-gritty.

  6. Also totally customizable. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Funny · on Xbox 2 To Feature Removeable Hard Drive

    That's not all it will have. Kotaku reported this last week, as well as the fact that the whole box will be customizable with snap on skins and even a customizable dashboard. They also reported that it will come in two flavors, have wireless controllers and some other details.

  7. Re:I feel soooo sorry for them by AndroidCat · · Score: 1 · on Third-World Sweatshops Producing Virtual Goods
    I admit that I was thinking of Diamond Age net actors for hire, but yeah, it would be like telemarketing factory cages where they're all on the clock, monitored, and chained to a rigid script.

    Until one day .. Virtual Revolt: Rise of the Outsourced! (Make naked gnomes look like a tea-party.)

  8. Pads and Kilowatt by bippy · · Score: 2, Informative · on Games That Raise the Heart Rate
    Red Octane sent me their pad to help me write the story for the Rocky and I really like it. The insert gives it a very nice feel and it seems to always trigger correctly. My pad seemed to move about a tad, despite the rubber backing, but that's probably because I'm such a spaz. I didn't get a chance to play with the Kilowatt, but it looks and sounds fantastic. I think it may become the first true blending of excercise equipment and gaming to hit the market. It's built like a high quality piece of equipment, so it costs quite a bundle. I've got a lot more about it in the article, the technology is pretty fascinating.

  9. Deja vu by funny-jack · · Score: 1 · on What Makes a Game Review a Game Review?

    This story sounds awfully similar to this one from almost exactly a month ago.

    It looks like a Kotaku dupe was posted each time through by Slashdot. So, I guess Slashdot is duping Kotaku's dupes.

    Crazy.

  11. PSP Delay Expected by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on PSP North American Launch Date

    Wow, it's only been a day and at least one analyst is predicting a delay until June.

  12. Re:Utter BS by DeadScreenSky · · Score: 1 · on EA Reconsiders Overtime Position
    Technically EA does not have to pay OT or they would have been sued by now.


    Yeah, except EA has been sued for it by now. It isn't finished yet, but this stuff takes time. EA does have to pay overtime, because they have been breaking the law.
