  Seems Sony's getting serious with all these platform exclusives. Microsoft is going to have to pull something special out of the hat at the Nextbox reveal. Reply +4

  I'm sure most people are aware of the difference between E-sports and (physical) sports in general. The letter E serves as an important distinction.
  I suspect you already knew this but chose to ignore it in an attempt to sound clever. It wasn't. And adding "Case closed" just made you sound idiotic. Reply +2

• Samsung Galaxy S4 review

• BritishBlue1 12/05/2013

  I'll be getting my S4 soon, I still have the original Galaxy S!
  I was looking at the Xperia and HTC but the removable battery decides it. I use my phone for extended periods, with no charge points, due to work and having a full charged battery or two to spare is essential. Considering how critical removable batteries can be I'm surprised Samsung are the only one doing it... Reply +1

• Respawn game is reportedly an always-online Xbox exclusive

• BritishBlue1 01/05/2013

  This reminds me of Chromehounds...I remember that game so long ago, when I wasn't getting blown to bits it was so much fun. I wonder if the next gen will be as great? Reply 0

• Microsoft moots IllumiRoom with next Xbox

  If this were actually built into the Next Xbox I think it would be a pretty entertaining feature. Reply +1

• Microsoft to unveil its upcoming console on 21st May

• BritishBlue1 25/04/2013

  I seriously doubt the rumours about always-online and curbing second hand games are true, should be interesting either way. Reply +1

• The next Xbox will be fully integrated into your TV via a cable box connection - report

• BritishBlue1 11/04/2013

  Interesting that a lot of people are slating the Next Xbox's multimedia capabilities yet it's already been noted that more people spend time watching films/telly on their 360's than actual gaming. If I were MS I would certainly feel the need to cater to these customers.
  Sony have stuffed multimedia capabilities into their consoles for years via DVD and Blu Ray and no one complained (much). I use my PS3 for BBC iPlayer, ITV, Netflix, and LoveFilm all the time but I also game a lot on it too, multimedia and gaming can exist quite comfortably side by side in my opinion.
  The only company that really focuses on gaming and nothing else is Nintendo. Reply +3

  It seems they've made the environments considerably more interesting, should be enjoyable to explore. Reply +3

• BioShock 2 retrospective

• BritishBlue1 07/04/2013

  I'm glad there is someone else out there who thought Bioshock 2 was a damn good game that ironed out all the previous ones' kinks. I think I must be the only person who quite enjoyed the showdown that kicks off when the Little Sisters are harvesting; setting up traps, funnelling enemies and moving around a limited area to gain advantage was a nice derivative of the Big Daddy fights I thought.

• Face-Off: Netflix vs. Lovefilm

• BritishBlue1 06/04/2013

  I had the same problem with cancelling LoveFilm. I had to call them up because there is no way of cancelling directly from their website, they seem to have misplaced that particular button.
  I specifically asked for a cancel and the fella on the other end played dumb and tried to put me on a "holiday", whatever that means. When I wouldn't accept no for an answer he said OK he understood what I was saying and would do what I was asking.
  Couple of days later I happen to check my Lovefilm account and the little fucker had put me on a holiday anyway!
  I cancelled my debit card and got a new one after that since they obviously weren't interested in listening. Very obnoxious. Reply +3

• BioShock Infinite ending explained

• BritishBlue1 04/04/2013

  The Rapture connection did thrill me more than I care to admit. If the twist had been revealed before hand in a thread or comment section ("and then they went to Rapture..." ) I would have palmed my face in despair but it was well done and I enjoyed it immensely. My self imposed media blackout really paid off! Reply +8

• Nvidia demonstrates potentially revolutionary new face-rendering tech

• BritishBlue1 21/03/2013

  Hm, if we start seeing games with such realistic faces and expressions what will that mean for gamers' psychological state? I mean, if such convincing faces are constantly getting blown away won't we have a generation growing up with PTSD? Reply +2

• Total War dev: PCs in danger as new consoles approach is "ridiculous" notion

  The only people who want to see PC dead are publishers because the PC crowd are too savvy to fall for their bullshit, it's never going to happen. Reply 0

• PlayStation 4 interface images

• BritishBlue1 28/02/2013

  Hm, bland and generic and a pain in the arse to navigate, bit like the Playstation Store. The tiles style interface seems to be in vogue at the moment and I don't like it.
  Sony really need to hire some professional UI designers, people need to look at the menus and instantly know that it is a Sony device or app, those screen shots just look devoid of inspiration. Reply +1
