Over this past weekend, I've been playing Jet Rider 2, and old PSX game that I used to thrash when I was in primary school. What I didn't remember, however, was the game is sponsored by Mountain Dew and Kawasaki! Fancy that! Low resolution logos plastered everywhere and on everything, with...

That review was far too lenient. No one should play Haze. Anyone.

I'm not sure that a programmer-designer would help at all. Someone designing a game that is programming may fall into the trap of only designing what they know they can program, whereas when you've separated the two institutions, the designer may be driving the programmer to break their own...

I liked the style and tone of this article, it's an interesting topic too. In my Japanese class (mainly high-school students), many of the girls really enjoyed reading the less explicit Yaoi - though one girl really enjoyed drawing hardcore gay porn in her spare time, or during class. I don't...

All I care about is that you've made me remember the Devotchkas! I was trying to remember they're name last week as I'm getting a Mohawk for World's Greatest Shave and was trying to explain this one all girl punk band that had the craziest hair I'd ever seen but couldn't remember the name...

Even with my week's worth of solidified conjunctivitis gunk clogging up my eyes, I still managed to squeeze out a tear in laughter. "20 minutes .. outside .. puffer fish." Fuck, I had no idea what to expect but that was brilliant.

That's an excellent little story dude. If there's one thing I always wondered, with my five year VISA for the UK sitting next to me, how I'd cope with little funds and barely a place to live. Something tells me that in times of need, it'll be my DS and not my PSP to help me out. Thanks for...

Haha, Sonic for the win. Games used to be all about holding down right and pressing the jump button. Now they're about holding down everything but right and pressing a billion shooting buttons! :P That was a really great article. Actually, that's one of the most annoying things in games...

Graphics don't mean anything in a game. I played through God Hand from start to finish just after I finished Okami and do you know what I had more fun in? No joke, I found God Hand more engaging than Okami! I think that's blasphemy. Neither of those games had particularly "good / flashy"...

I want to gush so much at everyone right now ... @Landslide and @Armstrong - but I'll refrain. God I wish I could say more :( When more people have had a chance to play through we need to set up a "BioShock discussion *MAJOR BLOODY SPOILERS* thread.

@ Geoffrey42 - I think that point regarding Levine's comment is THE crux-pin of this situation. Simply because of that one phrase, there's a lot of people complaining that wouldn't otherwise be. Without that statement, there would be zero backbone to the conversation I feel. No matter what's...

It's funny though, when you follow the instructions laid out by Geoffrey42, it really does hurt. I'll accept that as punishment for not buying the PC version the second time round and taking it on Press license instead. Ouch.

It's not necessary to include this function. If the developers have made the game to reflect a certain ideal, and BioShock really is a game that's been finely tuned, then that's how it was made. You're saying you the lack of top and bottom has greatly affected play, well it hasn't. You're not...

That's ... sarcasm right?

Oh, dear. That's ... wow. Dedication! I'll give it a shot after lunch :)
