  Feedback: The time next to the questions in the "questions you've asked" section is the same for all questions, even though they're were asked at different times.

  I'm finding the reverse timeline confusing (linking answers to the wrong questions), but then I am simple.

  10 out of 10 for the review!
  
  Unfortunately you lose 10 points for the "eye patch" gag.

• PSP 2.00 hacked

• Mike_Hunt 28/09/2005

  I didn't claim that they have a right to copy it. It's more of a reason. If they are going to overprice software (and I don't think anyone can argue that £35 for a handheld game is nothing short of daylight robbery) then expect more people to head down the route of wooden legs and inflatable parrots on their shoulders.
  
  Lower the cost of games to something more reasonable and you'll find that few people pirate games, profits will increase and you'll have a much happier customer base. I'm not saying that this will irradicate piracy, but it will at least reduce it by large amounts. People are *always* going to find ways around anti-piracy measures, what companies should focus on is discouraging them from copying games rather than trying to make the impossible possible.
  
  Look at the music industry for example. They're only recently starting to embrace new technologies such as downloading music over the 'net. However, what they're still doing is continuing to overcharge people. 85p for an MP3? Cram that past your fat wallet and up your ass thankyou. There is no way I'm paying almost as much for a bunch of "1s" and "Os" as I would for an actual CD. Lower the cost to a more sensible 15p a track and you'll find that the vast majority of people will buy things through legitimate channels.

  To say Sony 'deserve' to be hacked and pirated is like saying, you may put locks on your windows and doors but it just inspires me more to break in and steal all your stuff. If you got burgled would you blame yourself for making an effort to protect your stuff?
  
  If I charged people £35 just to walk across my doorstep then I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to find alternative means to enter.
  
  Low the price of games to something that resembles a sensible amount and you'll find that piracy will reduce dramatically.
  
  That said, I'm sure the vast majority of people seeking to break through the firmware are those who want to run emulators rather than cracked PSP games.

• IN-FUSIO signs Halo for mobiles

• Mike_Hunt 28/09/2005

  When will someone develope a game for mobiles that is actually fun/possible to play on a mobile?!
  
  3rd shooters JUST.DON'T.WORK. Driving games suck donkey balls. Sport sims? Give over. Puzzle games are the closest things they've got.
  
  I mean COME ON, there's like a zillion cool flash games on the net, almost every one of which would work really well on a phone and help you while away a few minutes. Bring on the flash I say!

  That wouldn't be the "bed-hopping (former) PC Gamer writer (and sometimes sinister The Register informer) Kieron Gillen" would it?

  Nice review Kristan. It seems pretty fair based on the demo I've played. It has flaws, but the innovation makes you oblivious to them (almost).
  
  Any chance you can give us an idea of how long the game actually is? I'm aware that other QD games (such as Nomad Soul) has day's worth of gaming, is this another biggie?
  
  Cheers

  Nice cars, shame to see they still can't recreate a half decent looking tree on the next gen machines though.
  
  That's all I ask for, a decent tree. They've got water sorted, hell, some developers have even been able to recreate fire effects that don't make me want to hurl. But can anyone design a decent looking bush? Nope.

  I like the screenshot, lots of additional subtle detail, like the stubble on his face, or the gradual blurring of the mountains as they get further into the distance. It just looks 'right'.

• OpFlash 2 still in the works

• Mike_Hunt 14/04/2005

  I can't help but be excited about this title. I just hope they aim to improve on the original and not give it a total overhaul. If it turns into an arcadey shooter like Battlefield then I'll cry.
