NewsSpots: Penny Arcade, Saga, Jenga

Wow... let me see... $10 for real Jenga pieces. I wonder how much for a Wii game about Jenga. I know the Wiimote is novel with it's motion sensors, etc, but come on, who in their right mind would spend more on a Wii game about Jenga than to actually purchase Jenga and play it? No wonder Atari has been losing money. They should fire the brainiac behind their game development division.

Jenga?

News about games should be about good games, not just any game.

I'm sorry ... i fail to understand why is this in the news section .... move it to useless junk section !!! :D

Jenga?...JENGA?! What the CRAP!? Seriously, the Wii needs to get more than just some neat proof of concept games and a couple of remakes or it's not gonna last...

Jenga... No matter how realistic the physics will be it still won't feel the same

KingSigy What isn't on Steam? ---------------------------- a lot...

Jenga?? Atari is really reaching in the bottom of the barrel. I don't see a virtual block stacking game as being the publisher's savior :P

Steam has taught me that PS3 system updates are nothing to complain about.

What isn't on Steam?

Jenga.....worst gaming idea ever. Why buy something that you can buy in real life for ALOT cheaper & w/o electricity?

Why the hell would I want to load up steam to read Penny Arcade? I've got a perfectly good web browser here.

I love Jenga. Not so sure if brining in a game form is a good thing though.

Jenga? For real?

How the heck is Jenga going to work on the Ds and Wii, what a stupid idea.

Wow, Jenga in the form of a video game? Now developers really are running out of ideas.

what the hedge is STEAM?

I wouldn't be shocked if Penny Arcade's game is going to be on Steam.

I love Penny Arcade, but I don't see why I would want to download it through Steam. I understand how companies want digital distribution to be the next big thing, but it's hard to beat the simplicity of a web site.

Oh man, I can't wait to get new Penny-Arcade comics on my Steam account. This certainly isn't pointless.

Jenga for the Wii. Apparently when your company loses 70 million dollars Jenga will be the solution to make you profitable again. We look forward to it Atari. . . schmucks.

Jenga better have a full-blown plot or someone dies in the morning...

Don't you just love all the exclusive games for the Wii...

I hate steam

Penny Arcade isn't funny.

LULZ @ Jenga

PA comics on Steam is...well its stupid. What a waste of an idea. Though I guess its a way to get those who haven't read the comics to understand the game more when it's released. Sega's game sounds interesting... Jenga on the Wii...well thats kinda cool. Maybe the should do a collaboration of games on there as well. Not just Jenga.

There's really no reason why anyone would read PA on Steam as opposed to Mozilla or IE.

ookkaayy... so what

My thoughts exactly, Simu. If you have net access, you don't need Steam feeding you webcomics.

Was it so difficult for people to go to penny-arcade.com (or add the RSS to their LiveJournal friends list) that they really felt another distribution channel was necessary?

Penny arcade is funny
