Gizmondo Extreme First Impression

They fixed the crappy buttons with symbols on them! Also the unit is coated in some kind of vulcanized rubber that's comfortable to hold

13 games sent with the unit - impressionz soon but so far, SSX 3 moves surprisingly well (tho kind ugly) and Toy Golf is fun by way too short

While clearing out all my shit yesterday, I opened a drawer with a Gizmondo and an nGage in it, stacked atop each other.

I was suddenly reminded of the time I saw a pair of homeless people fucking each other in an alley.

:lol
 
Yeah sure, pop up some more impressions. I haven't had much interest, but wouldn't mind reading some impressions of it. If you could, put up some hardware pics as well.

Jesus Christ Frankie, I'm trying to eat here.

I think the Gizmondo is still floating around the 1up area somewhere. Along with a copy of Sticky Balls. Anyone know if the GPS system is up and running yet?

Yes Richard Burns is included. It's not bad but it has framerate problems sometimes and control is touchy. Colors isn't included which is a shame since I was looking forward to playing against the zero other people who have a Gizmondo and winning by default

Unit feels nice -- it's smaller than it seems in pictures and the shrek L and R buttons actually feel good. No start button sucks -- the Home button pauses but it's this tiny crap button.

Camera is okay but no better than that of a cell phone. GPS is neato bonkers but I haven't had much time to play with it yet

Classic Compendum is what you expect -- checkers, chess, etc -- and is nicely done and pretty

FIFA's surprisingly competent, though I wouldn't pay $40 for it even if I was a fan

SSX 3 is screwy at first but fun once you get used to it, and the career mode is included. Fast game -- 3D has improved since I last tried this out, though even the DS has this beat

Toy Golf is way cool, though short (it says 9 courses, but it's really 9 holes). Still, $20, so not bad.

I have heartburn

Stickyballs (LAOZMO) is lots of fun, colorful and very addictive -- and so is the game LAMOSEX

Best gag gift is Ping Pong 2005 which is you playing ping pong against a bunch of girls in bikinis. GOTY

Well at least they did one thing right and bought that developer so it wouldn't be on the PSP, though the game would've obviously sold more on the PSP.
