Although I plumped for the physical stuff, because, well, stuff, I'm with Xocrates & Jelco in that I'm not sure "high price point" is in anyway a sensible selection process for a small, dedicated testing community. If, going by the comment in Quinns' interview on PCGamer, that's what t...

FTL. That fricking game. It's beautiful, yet horrible at the same time. I've been playing it for I don't even know how long now, probably a good 20-30 hours and I've almost beaten it 3 times now. . . . 46 hours myself, according to Steam. Though that includes the couple of months of beta. It does d...

Since when were local (or even national) newspapers and television new in anyway a decent source of accurate information on - well - anything? Never underestimate the ability of hacks to not understand a thing when it comes to numbers, and tos pin numbers out for style and effect. It's not to hard t...

You find bugs as you play the game guys? Trying to make crazy/grand-design complexes will most likely find you more bugs then just playing the game normally, so let your fantasy flow!!! Not if you're repeating actions in order to narrow down what's required to reproduce problems. In anycase, I'm go...

There was a heck of a lot of "unusual" mechanics and innovation during development of arcade games of the early 80s. Many mechnaics we may see as standard have their roots in that period. In anycase, the stand-out arcade game from the early 80s (for being 'different', 'unusual' or otherwis...

B-Reactor is also the same model as Reactor 4, the reactor that went critical at the Chernobyl NPP. Incorrect. Chernobyl 4 was an RBMK design. This design was not used outside of the USSR. That being said, Hanford B is still solid graphite, so the same potential probelms remin. Of note, Windscale (...

How you view the child and the love you show doesn't change what is actually happening in some legal situations. It's very simple, regardless of anything else (e.g. love, personal opinion), if you pay extra $ to obtain a child (i.e. above and beyond appropriate expenses required to bring a child to...

Is it the best habit for a President to have? Which I think underlines the major problems many people have with Romney. He is an example of a whole range of habits, attitudes and actions which are hardly best suited to a presidential role. But, then again, the US electorate haven't always been best...

It's one of the most insanely professional mods I've seen You say that, but some of the voice acting sounds horrendous. I'm hoping that they've changed so little of the voices that it should be an easy task to import the sound files from the "Hald life: Source" if you have it. Fingers cro...

an obscure Source Mod called "Black Mesa" :? . Obscure? This has been such a high-profile modding project that I wasn't aware there were still gamers unaware of this project. It's a full conversion mod that basically takes the original Half-Life to the Source engine, that fans (including ...

They have made reference to the Bullfrog management style games of yore.

That's all I need to be looking forward to this game.

We are all but a mere embedded link to a sneaker e-store away from the apocalyptic singularity.

My experience of alpha/beta testing (for smaller games / companies; it's something else entirely for somehting liker Planetside 2) varies significantly between those I've paid for and those I've signed up for. I have yet to pay money for a pre-release version which I have then spent time on actually...

GO BUY IT!

I concur!

What I like about that page is the bit where it clearly states this is not hating on Romney for being rich (a big no-no for 'mercans. Because in the land of the free all you need is yourself (screw all thos epeople and publicly funded institutions and infrastructure that helped you) to make millions...
