If Lumines is a Tetris clone then by that logic any block puzzle game ever made is a Tetris clone
not them. not many game sites have a dev unit yet from what i know so no direct feed videos from many places. seems like Sony isn't readily handing them out.

They don't. One cable captures the sound and the other is just for the battery.
have they played ninja gaiden yet?
It's just what it looks like to me, a tetris derivative.

I want to see Asphalt. I'm guessing it's a port of 6.
That's about as reductive as calling Halo a Doom derivative.
So which one do you actually think it is, a 'clone', or a 'derivative?'
Well clone was an exaggeration but it does look extremely similar to tetris.

oh god... white knight chronicles... in 2012? Is ps3 dead?
"look"? You've never played it?
nope
That's fair enough, I'm not surprised you wouldn't understand hype for a puzzle game without playing it. It's not really like Tetris at all, it is however more like Tetris Attack. You create patterns to causes larger chain reactions when the special blocks appear, and the reactions happen with the music in horizontal sweeps.
It's on practically every platform, you should give it a try, it's my favorite puzzle game personally.

Yeah, these are the same tracks as Asphalt 6, that game came out like 2 years ago now. Looks like they've significantly reduced the traffic on screen for some reason.
Fun game for a few quid.

fistful is in the chat, and these gameloft games are god awful on a proper console
Dave is not looking at Jeff or the camera, it's very disconcerting.
I don't know, from what I played of Modern Combat and Dungeon Hunter on the PS3 they were quite enjoyable and well made. Their minis/iOS ports are awful though (played Hot Shots Golf, God of War and Halo).

Yeah but you can't shake your Mac to throw off an enemy - the price of innovation!

I did a 17 hour live stream when the Vita was launched here in Japan with Mehdi. So, 5 hours ain't long at all.
Yeah, but tomorrow what are they going to do?

Good to see GB finally endorsing the original PSP.

Yeah, I really think they wasted their time looking at some of the games closer to the end. Pretty cool that they exhaustively looked at it and hopefully, they'll look at Sound Shapes and Gravity Daze when they come out.
