Jackass The Game to Bring Pain and Stupidity on Nintendo DS (Jackass)

Jan 16, 2008

If you think you can handle stupid stunts, stupid pain and general stupidity on two screens, then you will be really happy to hear that Jackass The Game will be released for the Nintendo DS console, after it has been released for the PlayStation 2 and PSP systems.

In Jackass The Game for the DS players are challenged to prove what they're worth to the cast of Jackass across five open-ended environments, everything while showing some serious "Jack-robatics". Also, players will have the options to create their own character and unlock a near limitless combination of customizable items and outfits (like a tiny pair of g-strings could be called outfit!). To make it even easier for those who like the stunts made by Johnny Knoxville & Co., players can now rise their attributes in order to perform those stunts with ease.

The game also has a multiplayer mode, allowing friends to compete against each other through a range of head to head challenges. So if you are insane or you like insane stuff, Jackass The Game is the title for you. But read really carefully the warning that says that the stunts featured in the game are performed by professionals, so you shouldn't attempt anything from the game. Really, now, the guys doing the show are too many, already! Let them be and let you be... healthy and sane. Because that's all that matters.

The game is rated "T" for Teen by the ESRB and a release date has yet to be announced.

Jackass Q&A (Jackass)

Aug 7, 2007

Aaron Rigby, producer on the upcoming Jackass game, has given a short Q&A that touches on what we can expect from the PS2 and PSP bone-breaker. Where did the inspiration come from for the game? Aaron Rigby: The original series was the biggest inspiration. It was just crazy and creative. The way the Jackass crew had the show set up gave us the opportunity to draw from a huge amount of stunts. Is the game based in actual sketches or are they completely new? Rigby: Nearly every stunt is ...

Mini-games seems to be the most likely route taken for the Jackass game, with characters such as Knoxville, Bam Margera, and Jason 'Wee-Man' Acuña all getting their own set of dangerous stunts. Shopping carts, downhill slopes, thongs, paintball guns, rolling garbage cans, bumper cars, rooftops, golf carts, unicyles, and another load more thongs are expect to feature heavily.

PlayStation @ E3 2009 - The Games (Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier)

May 22, 2009

PlayStation LifeStyle writes, "In just over a week, PlayStation LifeStyle will be reporting live from the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). We've been trying to get a handle on the plethora of PlayStation games that will be on display from June 2 through June 4, and it's quite astounding. If you weren't excited about the prospect of new announcements for the PlayStation brand, what if we told you there will be over 75 unique PlayStation games on display - that we know about?! While many are multiplatform titles (though the best still appear to be Sony-exclusive), it is a large increase from last year's showing."

IGN:Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier First Look (Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier)

Apr 1, 2009

If you're a rabid fan of the series, the "Lost Frontier" title might sound familiar to you. Way back in 2006, Sony patented the moniker with the description of a "real-time online networked game," but it would appear that initial idea fell through. See, Lost Frontier on the PSP and PlayStation 2 is a strictly single-player affair that picks up shortly after Jak 3 while focusing on platforming, combat, and vehicles. Keira has set out on a spirit quest and the boys are trying to figure out what is behind the world' sudden eco shortage. The journey will take the trio to "the Brink" of the universe -- the very place the Precursors didn't get around to finishing -- so expect jagged rocks and cliffs that lead to nothingness.

Jeanne D'Arc - never released in the UK (Jeanne d'Arc)

Jan 17, 2009

Play-mag:

"As Level-5's PS3 exclusive White Knight Chronicles makes a sturdy, if inconsequential effect on the Japanese software charts, I started wondering about what happened to Level-5's PSP tactical RPG, Jeanne D'Arc, in the UK. I picked it up at an import shop but didn't realise, at the time, that it never found its way to these shores."

The Best of PSP (Japan) (Jeanne d'Arc)

Jun 10, 2007

Jeanne d'Arc, Dark Resurrection rally up for "The Best" in Japan. Joining the queue of Japan's monthly "The Best" line-up are two PSP games that we're not surprised to find up there: Tekken: Dark Resurrection and Jeanne d'Arc. While we're not surprised to see Tekken in the list, what's cool to note here is that Level 5's Jeanne d'Arc hasn't even been released in North America yet, and it seems to have gotten some good reception in Japan already...

THQ Explains Stuntman And Juiced Failures (Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights)

Feb 5, 2008

During THQ's financial conference call with analysts, company execs explained why two of their highly anticipated in-house games, Stuntman Ignition and Jucied 2: Hot Import Nights, did not do as well as anticipated in sales and reviews.

For Stuntman, the execs stated that they felt the game's design was too old-fashioned and highly scripted compared to the more open games that involve more player's choice that the publisher feels are more popular now.

For Juiced, THQ felt that giving the developer, Juiced Games, a total of six different platforms to develop all at once was too ambitious and that going forward THQ will only give their game developers no more than three SKUs to work on at once.
