It may be a little behind the curve, but Sam Macaroni's spin on Disney's Tron: Legacy, filtered through the gladiatorial combat of Joust, is a super short burst of delightful parody. Or maybe I just like talking ostriches. More »

Ahh, Sufer Girl. We don't know who you are, but we're really hoping you aren't a guy and that these mental images crossing you with Cameron Diaz (from back when she was hot) with a future, desperate, heroin-strung version of Scarlett Johansson aren't for naught. Now you tell us that Midway had planned to make 3D versions of all their classic games in the early 2000's, and that this Joust screen is proof of the project's cancellation. Then you listed 17 other games, many confirmed since by Google searches, that existed, were canceled and no one knew the wiser...until you swam to shore. We'll put that list after the jump while we try not to cry again over Deus Ex 3. More »

Remember earlier this year, when Microsoft sent out a batch of Live freebies in the form of Joust and Frogger? Well, a second batch of free Xbox Live Arcade game codes are going out to Xbox 360 owners who invested in the past year, signed up for Live and filled out a registration form. Our tipsters who recently registered have been getting the updated gratis games in their inboxes, netting themselves a couple of free XBLA titles in Robotron and Joust. Again. More »

The PlayStation Store will receive at least one downloadable game for tomorrow's update, Sony Online Entertainment's port of the Midway classic Joust. $4.99 is the price you'll pay for nostalgia, lo-fi graphics and online multiplayer. It may not be the most exciting update, but hopefully the PLAYSTATION 3 1.80 firmware will keep owners busy testing the new upscaling abilities of their console. More »

If the recent overload of PLAYSTATION 3 and PSP announcements from Sony's Gamers Day has PlayStation fans floating on air, today's PlayStation Store update will bring them right back down to earth. While a flood of new media has been pouring from SCEA this week, you'll find absolutely none of it on the Store today. Want a hi-def video of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune? You won't get it. Pain? SOCOM? Bowling? No, no, and no. More »

Back in November we told you about a little deal where if you purchased a 360 and registered it with Microsoft you'd receive a coupon good from two free Live games. Well now the codes are just now hitting your email inbox, if the metric ass-ton of posts to our tip mail are anything to go by. I'm not sure what is more amazing here. The sheer amount of folks who immediately thought to email us upon getting the codes, or that none of them seem disappointed to be getting Frogger and Joust. More »

So I've had the Xbox 360 for a couple of weeks now. It's a great machine. I played through Kameo and loved it. A gorgeous game. And I'm playing a lot of Project Gotham Racing 3 — another stunner with excellent Xbox Live integration. More »
