  So we've hit the graphical wall then? Reply 0

  @photoboy - from what I've read in other places the game isn't playable on the GamePad screen as it relies on it for various in-game tasks. Reply +2

• Steam on Linux released with a sale

• Lt_Drebin 15/02/2013

  Steam on Linux really is a significant move. I run a small business selling Ubuntu pre-loaded desktops and I've been really surprised by the interest generated- we're getting new enquiries from people who've never seen the OS before and die-hards who I thought would be against the restricted nature of steam all putting orders in off the back of steam availability. Exciting times. Reply +5

• Rayman Legends dev "pissed" at Ubisoft for delay after completing Wii U version, blames "men in ties"

• Lt_Drebin 08/02/2013

  As someone who was really looking forward to this, I shall still pick up the game, but in the spirit of those men in ties, I shall be delaying my purchase 7 months. This is a sound business decision as it allows the game to drop in price and ensures I don't contribute towards launch-month sales figures. Reply +4

• Gears of War: The Board Game review

• Lt_Drebin 10/01/2013

  Another +1 for the start of boardgame reviews! Can I drop in a suggestion for a game called Space Alert - it's a co-op game in which you have to run a spaceship in realtime scenarios. Think FTL but as a multiplayer boardgame. It is amazing. Reply +6

  Yes, that's what I said, Opal Fruits, dammit! You young kids and your new names for old stuff.
  
  Also, so blue is Windows, red is Office, green is XBox. So which product did they designate yellow but deem too unsuccessful to include?</quote>
  
  Zune? Reply +3

• Square Enix: current generation has been "way too long"

• Lt_Drebin 10/07/2012

  The rise of the mobile platforms doesn't highlight the failure of the current gen hardware. It highlights the failure of their respective online distribution platforms is all. That can be rectified without a new box under the tv. Reply +5

• Ubisoft discusses next-generation game budgets

• Lt_Drebin 16/05/2012

  Not that I'm against progress. But if you want to move your business on in such a way that you could financially cripple yourself, it might be best to come up with a new strategy for affordable development rather than looking for cunning ways to milk the additional cash you need from your market without them noticing.
  
  Of course, ultimately, they wouldn't want to move to these new models if it wasn't going to make them more money than they currently do. Which is fine, they're a business after all. I just wish they'd stop with all this crap trying to justify it. Reply +4

• Tomb Raider reboot delayed until 2013

• Lt_Drebin 14/05/2012

  The more games I see jumping out of this Christmas release window and into 2013, the more certain I am that we'll be getting GTA 5 in October. Reply +8

• The most pirated PC, Wii, 360 games of 2011

• Lt_Drebin 03/01/2012

  With Xenoblade i also believe a lot of downloads will be owners of the game such as myself who wanted to run it on dolphin just out of curiosity. While such large numbers can be worrying it's foolish to think of them all as "lost sales". Reply +5
