• Urban Trial Freestyle review

• ComradePete 20/02/2013

  Ah well. Can't say I'm hugely surprised, will give the demo a look anyway.
  
  Sony needs to dump a big truckload of money outside RedLynx/Ubisoft's HQ & get Trials on to the vita. Do it now Sony people! Reply +1

  A Big Boy Did It & Ran Away is stuffed full of game references, esp Half Life & Quake.

  @ComradePete - and the 9 people who agree - those games are worth £250? Seriously?</quote>
  
  Yep. Probably game of the generation for me, nothing beats it for the sheer gamey 'just one more go' factor.
  
  Just play them & you'll see for yourself. Also, I think you can get a 360 for a lot less than 250 these days... :p Reply 0

  @Bloobat
  
  Just buy a 360 & get it. Even if you only play Trials HD & Evolution it'll be well worth the money. Reply +11

• Elite: Dangerous Kickstarter from series creator David Braben

• ComradePete 06/11/2012

  Hmm. Has anyone said vapourware yet?
  
  He's been talking about this for decades now, if this actually comes out I will eat my Acorn Electron. Reply -5

• Lost Humanity 18: A Table of Doritos

• ComradePete 26/10/2012

  EG comes out of this extraordinarily badly - the article edit & grovelling apology should not have happened. Rab was referring to comments made in public by another journalist & threats of legal action are just that - threats.
  
  The knee jerk response is to buckle & avoid the spectre of costly legal defence which is way individuals & companies are so quick to raise the threat of legal action in the first place; they know that the mere mention of it is enough to get their own way.
  
  EG should have had shown more conviction particularly as subsequent revelations about the journalist have shown a pretty flimsy basis for a libel complaint Reply +9

  Wtf? Whoever thought this was a good idea needs their head examined...
  
  To be fair, this will probably make Microsoft a small fortune. Out of a very large one. Reply +9

• ComradePete 09/10/2012

  400 points is a piffling amount of money compared the fun you'll get out of the new levels.

• Sonic the Fighters, Fighting Vipers and Virtua Fighter 2 rated for XBLA

• ComradePete 09/10/2012

  Will pick up VF2 for nostalgia reasons - played it do death on the Saturn. Hope it's an arcade port though, the sound fx on the Saturn were puny & I want to play Shun's stage properly... Reply +1

• Splinter Cell: Blacklist response has been a "kneejerk reaction" and "uninformed"

• ComradePete 28/09/2012

  Vertical slice?
  
  Try not speaking in marketing toss-words & it might get people on your side.

• A conversation with EA's Peter Moore on the thorny issues of DLC, Online Passes and all the rest of it

• ComradePete 23/08/2012

  I like Peter Moore.
  
  As for EA, if they keep putting out good games & dlc I'll buy them. If they don't I won't - it's pretty much that simple, I don't understand the vitriol the company attracts. Reply -6

  Reminds me of the time when tigsource did a competition to create games based on the video game name generator.
  
  Shame the games aren't still up, think they had 'Emo Hunting on the Oregon Trail' & other equally engaging games... Reply 0

  At least they're trying something a bit different with the setting, could be some interesting new stuff in multiplayer - some Perfect Dark style gadgets maybe? Reply +4

  1200 points for this is absurdly generous seeing as there'll soon be a fantastic array of stuff created by other users to try.
