• SimCity modded so it can be played offline indefinitely

• Puppaz 14/03/2013

  The modding community can pretty much save some games these days.
  Makes you wonder if the guys making the game are just inept, or in this case, have some ulterior motive. Reply +18

• What will Dust 514 do about PlayStation 4?

• Puppaz 05/03/2013

  Tried this again this morning. I really *want* to like it, as I love EVE and the idea of this seems really exciting.
  Unfortunately the very base of the gameplay is terrible, it actually quickly becomes unbearable for me. I'm not a great fan of fps games but I can boot up counterstrike and have a blast, just the basic physics, aiming moving and looking, along with the feel of the weapons, it all seems very wrong in dust.
  
  It's one thing trying to integrate two games like this and create a more open world with skill development etc etc, but till the actual basic gameplay works I doubt I'll attempt this game again, which is a shame as it had such promise. Reply +2

• Anomaly dev offers 50 per cent off pre-orders on its unannounced game

• Puppaz 14/02/2013

  This is all the wrong way round, they should give me a few games, and I'll promise to give them an amount of money in the future, which is yet to be revealed, but I'll give them a sneak peak of my wallet or something to get them excited. Reply +13

  If you have an Idevice just search the app store for "kairosoft" instead. Reply +7

• Puppaz 05/02/2013

  Too much dodgy. Sorry.
  (Also, ever tried browsing the app store? It's horrifically badly designed) Reply 0

• Puppaz 05/02/2013

  With regards pricing on the app store, I agree that £2-5 is not a great deal at all to pay for a decent iOS game.
  However, there is also an issue with regards screening and quality on the app store. Apple seem to have an approach where if it breaks copyright it is evil, if it rips off or steals money from their customers it's not worth removing.
  There are hundreds of apps that are dodgy copies of others, pretending to be something they aren't or are even more dodgy, trying to steal money via dodgy in-app purchases. These can often appear to be highly rated due to the terrible reviewing system and the way apps can attempt to clear bad reviews by releasing an update.
  
  So yeah, when you get information about an app via a third party it helps, but just browsing and using the app store, I can understand why people are resistant to paying over a quid. It's easy to be ripped off and good luck trying to get your money back, even if the app has broken trading standards.
  
  Yeah there's people who are just tight and only support shitty cheap crap, but I don't think it's just that simple, and would love to see apple actually sort their store out, they can certainly afford to. Reply 0

  Oh and if anyone wants they can use the following link for a three week trial:

  I think I get some free time if you end up signing up, but really just putting it out there if people want to see what Eve's like. The more the merrier Reply 0

• Puppaz 28/01/2013

  Yeah apparently the server was lagged to almost a standstill because CCP simply weren't prepared for this scale of battle to occur in this type of space.
  
  Love Eve, wish I'd have seen this live, I'm a bit too nooby at the moment for this type of action. Reply 0

• Games of 2012: XCOM: Enemy Unknown

• Puppaz 23/12/2012

  Yeah, I loved this, but I have to say I still prefer the original. But then it would be pretty damn hard to beat the original, and this is still a great game in its own right.
  So long as you don't play it thinking "But that isn't like the old xcom!" and accept how the game plays, you should be in for an enjoyable time. Reply 0

• Dark Souls 2 officially announced

• Puppaz 08/12/2012

  This game has such a lot to live up to in my opinion, but I'll probably auto-buy it anyway. Demon and Dark Souls have been the best games of recent times for me.
  
  If they can get the game mechanics right again it'll be a winner. Hopefully they can match the feel of the previous games too. Reply 0

• Star Wars: The Old Republic re-review

• Puppaz 26/11/2012

  I can't help but feel a little cynical at re-reviews. As much as I like the idea, it sort of suggests that the original review was a little inflated, possibly by hype?
  I mean, will we get a re-review of Farcry 3 saying "Yeah, ok, it's really only a seven I guess", just after the advertising deal is concluded? Reply +1

• Saturday Soapbox: It just worked?

• Puppaz 24/11/2012

  I wasn't really that bothered about iOS games till I came across Kairosoft. Those guys have sucked away so many hours of my life.
  I realise they aren't just on iOS any more, in fact I'm not sure where they started, but I do know I love pretty much all their games (even if some are now getting a little samey) Reply +1
