  1. Write some reviews in 15 words or less

    Trackmania Sunrise Like the original, only better looking and harder. PLAY THE DEMO (www.trackmania.com) AND LOVE IT!
  2. I didn't notice anything strange about his style of speech. But maybe that's because all Americans have a slightly different style of speech from us Brits, so it ALL seems strange!
  3. Psychonauts = 9.5 from OXM

    I'm not going to get excited before Majesco announce the UK distributor. Dammit, hurry up Majesco!
  4. Dino-Riders: The Video Game

    Cut him some slack, guys. Dark Basic/The 3D Gamemaker/FPS Creator are hardly known for allowing you to produce great games ...
  5. Jade Empire site is live

    At least cell-shading is passé...
  6. Wanna get into the games industry? Have a heart attack.

    Somewhat ironic, perhaps, to picture Lenin and mention Unions. Unions weren't allowed in Communist Russia, you know ...
  7. Sony faces $90.7m patent damages

    It doesn't, but all PS2 consoles currently on sale come with one of the offending controllers.
  8. Does anyone play Doom or Doom 2 anymore?

    I'm up for Doom. I bought the Collector's Edition of 1 and 2 so that I could have a decent PocketPC game, but PC multiplayer is always good by me! Mind you, I'm more interested in finding someone to play System Shock 2 with ...
  9. Where's the DS love?

    I want one of these DS thingies, but they're going to be out of my price range initially. Much like every console ever ...
  10. Can somebody actually explain to me what is supposed to be fun about Shenmue? And before you ask, yes I have the original for the Dreamcast. I only use it to play the old games in the arcades :S...
  11. Good Gaming Magazines

    Amen.
  12. Well, I could descend into marketing spiel and claim that it's part of Nintendo's different target audience. Or something. But, yes, the Cube does sell worse than the other two consoles. As for a buyout, though, it will be only ever be over the cold, dead body of Nintendo...
  13. College

    Guys, you are not selling university dorms to me...
  14. Cult band heroes: Sublime

    Everybody ripped off everybody in the days of Italian Romantic opera... RLacey
  15. Halo, what a waste of time?

    I will restrain myself from going off on one about difficulty levels, but suffice it to say that the term 'Easy' is often a downright lie...
  16. Halo, what a waste of time?

    You see, this is how I like these games - if they're designed for a pad then I don't want them forced onto keyboard and mouse (well, not unless they do it really well, like GTA or Beyond Good and Evil. Let's face it, gamepads are hardly expensive, and people don't seem to complain about upgrading every other part of their PC on a far more regular basis...
  17. Halo, what a waste of time?

    Whilst I'm not saying that it's wrong to expect control changes with a port, I've always wondered what it is that PC gamers have against purchasing a cheap analogue gamepad. Console owners will happily buy a lightgun, after all...
  18. First Thumbs Post

    Welcome to the madhouse. Don't mind Kingz.
  19. Hitchhikers Guide - new trailer

    Yes, but Adams was one of those people who I expect would have made odd changes along the way. And I suspect he didn't cast the diabolical actors personally. Thanks for that, dear. I hate you more, mmkay?
  20. Tim on Gamespot TV Thing

    I expected his voice to be deeper. Why do I always think that people are going to sound different?
  21. Hitchhikers Guide - new trailer

    I'm sure that I can hear Douglas Adams spinning in his grave at this shockingly over-acted, "Let's be cRaaZZZyyyy....now let's be really. serious. and. dramatic. oh. yes. my. name. is. FORD...PREFECT" piece of rubbish. Ye who complain about Willy Wonka, know what it truly means to sully a work of greatness. The more I watch this trailer, the more convinced I am that this film won't work...
  22. "This Is Why Your Game Magazine Sucks"

    As someone who has every issue of GamesTM, and is a subscriber to PCGamer and PCZone, I'll say that I use magazines as an alternate source of information, and as something to read whilst I'm lying dead in Counter-Strike or waiting for a game/level to load. Out of the three, GamesTM has by far the best journalism - it's for the most part mature, it has some nice articles, a (kind of) decent retro section and it manages to be clever without being smug in a Kieron Gillen-clever kind of way (and anyone who reads PCG will know exactly what i mean...
  23. Troika Games closes

    I've never seen this publicly stated. Rumoured, I'm happy to admit, but I've never seen a public company statement that this was the case. If there is one, though, then I'm happy to admit that they were wrong, but I would still be correct in saying that the game was rushed to release too early in the wake of Half-Life 2.
  24. Freedom Force Vs The 3rd Reich pre-order

    Try here: http://www.digitaljesters.com/shop.php I swear I should take a commission for the number of times I pimp DJ and their UK-published games.
