I disagree almost entirely. I love the XMB just as it is, and having recently got a 360 I appreciate its beautiful simplicity all the more. I don’t want it changed, and would be mightily annoyed if they did. And if you think there are a lot of ads on it, you really should try [...]

One respected retailer here in the UK still has Super Stardust listed for sale at a huge £38.86! I know they all use placeholder prices and drop them later when the actual price is known, but I’m not sure what they were thinking when they listed that. It was never going to be a retail [...]

“The “used games costs us X in profits” non-argument isn’t valid. Games, as all goods, are ours once we pay for them” That’s just it, they’re not. Why do so many people fail to get their head around the fact that you buy a license to use the game, and do not own the game [...]

@ Pedro – PD did warn people not to get overly excited for this update, as it was mostly bug fixes. More content is to come in updates over the next few months.

This has nothing to do with the dead gangster any more. There was a peaceful protest about his shooting, and later gangs of youths decided to go on the rampage. There are now riots in many areas of London, but also in other cities such as Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester – areas where no-one knows [...]

I’ve only just got my first smartphone (HTC Desire S), and if anything, it’s convinced me that there is absolutely still a market – no, a NEED – for dedicated hand-held systems. Touch-screen gaming is okay – maybe even preferable – for some titles, like Flight Control, Airport Mania, Angry Birds and the like. But [...]

Can’t say I’m remotely interested in any of these games, personally. Hope they have a better selection next year.

One or two have worn out, but I’ve never broken one. Never even thrown one. I just tend to swear. A lot.

Couldn’t care less. Haven’t bought a CoD game since the original Modern Warfare. While I can the point of view of those who complain about the game lacking originality etc., I personally don’t have any issue with the game itself – I just dislike Activision/Kotick’s attitude towards gamers in general, and so refuse to buy [...]

I passed on ModNation Racers for the PS3, but I am very tempted to get it for Vita. It looks like an ideal portable game, which is actually a large part of the reason I didn’t buy the PS3 version.

But who knows… if I get the Vita version, perhaps the PS3 version will follow…

Am I missing something here? I don’t see why someone from a PR company – a third party – would get so upset about it people not liking the game. I could understand if the comments were from someone at 3D Realms or 2K Games, but… the PR company?!? It surely makes no difference to [...]

I did wonder if Sorcery may have become “Medieval Moves: Deadmund’s Quest” as it seemed quite similar. But apparently not.

I’ve been wondering about this, too.

Given that they had almost unhindered access to the back-end of Sony’s systems, and that no usually-boastful hacking group has claimed responsibility, it’s certainly something worth considering, I reckon.

It’s new to SS:HD, but it’s not exactly new. The PSP version has had this mode for ages.

So… it’s delayed in Japan on the 14th, citing the disaster in Japan.

It’s delayed in Europe on the 15th, for the same reason.

Then 3 days later, you write this, and assume that the only reason they were delaying it in the US because of feedback from the demo.

Hmm.

The delay was absolutely the right thing to do. And yes, it’s a little below the previous games in terms of graphics; it’s possibly down to the inclusion of 3D, but when you’re blasting along you barely notice it. And while the beta NDA prevents discussion of any details, trust me… the online side alone [...]

Luke: I don’t agree Dave. A demo is a final build to show you what the game is. If that is crap it will turn people off. I think what you’re talking about is a Beta which is never a final release, and thus shouldn’t be taken as the final product.  

Actually, a lot of demos [...]

I was in the original beta and didn’t have any of these issues. I haven’t downloaded the current one, as I’m just happy to wait until the game is released. However, if these things are big problems for you, I hope you’ve mentioned them on Guerilla’s official forums so that they may actually address them, [...]

I was planning on getting a 3DS, but my funds are now going towards the NGP/PSP2.
