    Molyneux Reveals Why Fable 3 Will Piss Players Off

    Sorry, but what? I never, in the 2 years (E3 06 announce to release) I was following Fable 2s development, heard ANYTHING about growing trees in real time. Even if that was the case, how long does it take to grow a tree? What unit of game-time would have to pass to see any change? even as an...

    Fable III Confirmed Via Wedding Announcement

    OR! it was a typo. I think announcements like that would list the most recent/public credit rather than one 3-4 years down the line?

    What's wrong with Sonic Unleashed?

    I was OK with this post up until the penultimate sentence. Seriously? it doesn't resemble a Sonic game in any way, shape or form! O.o My other two cents: The 1st game i owned was Sonic on mega drive, and Ive followed it ever since. After the atrocities that were Shadow and 06, The Day...

    Zero Punctuation: XBLA Double Bill

    Haha, I personally think BC:R is a fantastic remake! The revamped soundtrack has been rocking my iPod since the OST was released, and some of those challenge rooms are demonically difficult!

    what games were ruined by there sequal?

    I agree with both varulfic & sokimit. Sonic in the third dimension has felt like insult after insult to to the long term sonic fans, culminating in the two finger salute to the fanbase that was Sonic 06. At least the music has been consistently awesome though. Sonic heroes, Shadow the...

    Poll: Metallica fans, come sort this out!

    Master of Puppets is the more musically technical, and therefore the most interesting to listen to. One has 3 riffs, where as master of puppets has 3 riffs in the intro :D

    Poll: does anyone EVER read the manual to a game

    Good toilet literature... ;) And besides, there is usually some ultra-useful hint hidden in the manual somewhere (Mega Drive version of Altered Beast Level Select being a prime example!)

    Too Human Demo impressions.

    I didn't even get to the end of the demo, I was drifting asleep. The combat was totally uninspiring, and the controls were vomit-inducingly bad (The pop-up tutorials gave button commands that didnt even work!). Even the graphics weren't consistent. Some areas looked amazing,and some looked...

    Zero Punctuation: Super Smash Bros. Brawl

    Hehehe, a particularly awesome review! Unfortunately it hasn't convinced me not to buy it when it (FINALLY) appears in the UK. My wallet is magnetically drawn to anything with that bloody hedgehog in it...... cunning move Nintendo. :(

    Scariest Game You Have Ever Played

    That, and Call of Cthulu (sp?) Dark Corners of the Earth. Aweseome games, not exactly scary, but excellent foreboding atmospheres in both. EDIT: Also! Halo 1. O.o Call me a wuss, but when the Flood unleash for the first time I shat my self. I really did.

    Achievement Unlocked

    I have a love/hate relationship with achievements. On one hand, I now have a general indictator how much I've seen of a game, and as a rule I try to get at least 500gp of a game before binning it. Oblivion, Bioshock and especially Dead Rising have been great at making achievements that push...

    Xbox Live: What Are We Paying For?

    I just THE biggest pain trying to cancel my account. I used a prepaid card for my initial 12 month sub, then only renewed for a 3-month period, using my credit card. BUT! when that 3 month period ended Xbox Live automatically signed me up for monthly subscription charges! Which works out at...

    Musicians Talk

    I play the guitar, but I also love synths! My particular fave at the mo is http://www.ymck.net/english/download/index.html, which is a plug-in that emulates a NES sound-chip! You can hear my strange brand of music (and that NES emulation) here..... http://www.myspace.com/stomp224...

    games you've beaten multiple times?

    Sonic The Hedgehog (& STH2)- I love these games, and routinely play them for nostalgia (and to be reminded of the days when sonic didnt suck) Fable - This game really has a unique feel. Despite being short, it really pulls me into its world. Farting and swearing at kids FTW! Bioshock - An...

    Best Sonic Game?

    2D = Sonic The Hedgehog, the original and best! No cheap spin dash to get you out of tight spots! Marble Zone(best game music ever)! 3D = A tie between Sonic adventure 2 and Sonic Heroes. Butif the Shooting and Hunting parts didnt exist in SA2, that would win.
