  1. Yeah, me too. I have it on Xbox and PC-Steam.I just wish they'd put in a bit of effort to debuggify the PC version. The main thing that irked me was that if I was playing in widescreen resolution, the videos would be stretched to 16:9 instead of staying 4:3 with black boxes on the sides. Also there are issues with ATI graphics cards like freezing (which was mostly stopped by turning off shadows, which makes some of the platforming very difficult) and painfully low framerate in some levels (unfixable, had to go to my mum's place and use her computer).
  2. Does anyone know actual sales numbers of Psychonauts, including digital downloads?
  3. Do his films actually make money though? I mean... who's still funding him after all these years?
  4. Gray Matter

    Is Jane Jenson a big enough name with a fanbase to justify "A JANE JENSON ADVENTURE GAME"? Also, the plural of 'Phenomenon' is 'Phenomena'. That mistake on its own has deemed this game unworthy of my attention.
  5. Game Reviews & Research

    I agree. I still have a copy of a review for Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee that referred to Abe as a 'Lizard man' and Munch as a 'Fish', despite the later having a foot and walking on land.
  6. Back to the Future

    I'd be prepared to do you a massive favour and take it off your hands.
  7. DeathSpank

    So it is. *hits INSTALL button* *goes back to marking assignments that were meant to be returned yesterday*
  8. Costume Quest

    http://twitter.com/phoenix_wright/status/28726255264http://twitter.com/TimOfLegend/status/28727742891 At least he's being clear about it.
  9. General Video Game Deals Thread

    I just bought Batman:Arkhum Asylum for 13.60USD on Steam. Probably won't even get around to downloading it for another year or so, but at least I have it.
  10. Costume Quest

    Stupid parents! Creepy nerds have the best candy.
  11. The Witness by Jonathan Blow

    I'm with Toblix on this one. I was pleasantly surprised at how pleasant he sounded.
  12. The Witness by Jonathan Blow

    This just in: The Witness not as pointless as it looks.

  14. The sad sad tale of Tim Langdell

    The trademarks are officially cancelled and he's been forced to notify all the licensees. Huzzah!
  15. The sad sad tale of Tim Langdell

    Not necessarily, because the judge made the point that even if the trademarks had been valid, there was no evidence that anyone would or could ever be confused between EDGE and Mirror's Edge or any other game with a similar title.
  16. DeathSpank

    Goddamned, finally. Though it's more or less the same time as Costume Quest. What a time to be hit by two RPG-ishes. EDIT: Is this both Deathspanks? Or just the first game?
  17. The sad sad tale of Tim Langdell

    I just read the whole thing. Goddamn... how could he think he wouldn't be caught out? He just blatantly lied over and over again. 'twas a right larf.
  18. The sad sad tale of Tim Langdell

    The judge actually used the word 'trolling' in the injunction. That is awesome.
  19. Nifty browser games (inc. Flash)

    Crushd has been stealing far too much of my time lately.
  20. BioShock Infinite

    It's got to be (, simply because he doesn't mind seeing you wandering about until you grab the gun. Also, the whole 'Standing up and ranting to an empty audience' thing doesn't exactly vouch for his sanity.It occurred to me just now that what bothers me from this trailer is the extent to which they're trying to make a living, breathing world (and the level of boasting about that too), so much so that it just seems to draw attention to its own limitations. In particular, the overtly game-y and scripted parts like that guy's reaction.
  21. BioShock Infinite

    Which was particularly ridiculous - he's giving out the guns, so why the hell would he get pissed off when you take one?Also, it bothers me that patriotic Columbians would fire massive artillery weapons that damage significant sections of the city, just to kill one man. And it seems particularly ridiculous that they would fire a high powered weapon towards the ground level of the floating pontoon on which they themselves are standing. Do these characters have no sense of self-preservation?
  22. Beyond Better & Evil!

    It's been on Wikipedia since 9 August 2008, so after we'd seen the first teaser and before any information had been revealed. I'm gonna call shenanigans on this one.
  23. Ico & Shadow of the Colossus HD

    I've been wishing and praying for this ever since I got my PS3. I never had a PS2 and wouldn't have known where to find either game even if I had. So, bring on 2011, I say!
