Honk if you like video game news

Posted on Tuesday 28 February 2006

  • Jeremy Parish at 1UP has impressions of Metroid Hunters after playing with it at Nintendo HQ. Sounds like they’ve really improved the online experience (stats, lobbies, the whole thing). It may very well be delicious.
  • NVIDIA not expecting the PS3 any time soon: “Now you can add one of Sony’s major component providers, Nvidia, to the list of those who say that the PlayStation 3 will not make it this spring. During Nvidia’s latest financial conference call, Nvidia CEO, Jen-Hsun Hwang, noted that the company would not receive any royalty payments during the current quarter (which ends in April) from the company’s RSX chip, Sony’s PlayStation 3 graphics engine.”
  • Reviews: FIFA Street 2 for PS2 @ IGN: ” FIFA Street 2 is an improvement over the first game and it’s well worth your while if soccer is your passion.” Midway Arcade Treasures Deluxe for PC @ GameSpot: “While some of the games run just fine, many others are so far off of the accuracy mark that you almost wonder if someone deep within Midway or emulation-focused developer Digital Eclipse actually hates these games or the people who love them.” Super Princess Peach for DS @ IGN: “Suck up your machismo long enough to give SPP a fair shake, and you just might find yourself enjoying it.”
  • Video of the day: Debating violent video games “Whatever happened to Pac Man?” Actually a pretty decent clip from Fox News uploaded by Fandel Mulkey. The host seems to mostly side with defenders of the First Amendment and cuts through the lady demanding a return to the days of ghost eating and power pellets (which would naturally lead to an increase in illegal drug use among our nation’s children).
  • Bonus! Another video: Recreating of the bouncing balls commercial in Battlefield 2 (the original). (from Waxy.org)
