• Metal Gear Rising Revengeance confirmed for PC

  Awww man, I already got it on PS3. I should have waited. I suppose I'll probably get it anyway, but not straight away as I already have completed it. (at least the main story) Reply +2

• Nintendo now claiming ad revenue for YouTube Let's Play videos

• Rusty_M 17/05/2013

  I know Nintendo have intellectual property rights to the game itself, but couldn't there be a conflict here? Could an individual's playthrough be classed as a performance, and therefore that individual performance be the player's intellectual property? Reply 0

  @darkmorgado God dammit man, they weren't A-Wings. The snowspeeders were repulsorlift vehicles incapable of true flight.

  @mstrsystm Empire At War is pretty cool, too.
  
  I forget the name of the really clunky strategy that was almost good, but fell incredibly flat. It had the rock version of the Imperial March. Reply +2

  Isn't this pretty much how our memory of gaming goes as a whole? We remember the good games most and forget the dross.
  
  I'm still tempted to pick up a Rogue Squadron or two for my Wii.
  I'm currently playing through KOTOR and my wife is loving that. The Dark Forces series was all good to great. The X-Wing/Tie Fighter series was fantastic and needs a reboot, even if those freespace modders just get on the case.
  
  I played Episode 1 racer for hours on PC. It was fantastic with a joystick.
  
  I even enjoyed The Force Unleashed, although I think I'm in a minority there.
  
  Can't we just continue to ignore the crap and love the good? If another good Star Wars game comes out, you can be sure I'll be getting it.
  
  Also, why has nobody mentioned Yoda Stories? Was that any good? Reply +3

• A first real look at Total War: Rome 2 gameplay in action

• Rusty_M 24/04/2013

  I have a severe issue with this game. I want to play it, but it just won't run. Something to do with "not being out yet" Reply +5

• Saturday Soapbox: Leave me alone

• Rusty_M 20/04/2013

  I agree entirely. Using your example of Dark Souls: It can be played solely offline. It's the only game which isn't multiplayer only that I won't play if my net goes down. I don't want to miss the chance of a random invasion. It's something that really adds to that game. Reply +2

  @Eldritch Never thought about it that way. Kinda cheesy, eh? Reply +1

  @dirtysteve A bushido blade system could be great. I wish I'd played that game and that someone would have the balls to release something like it again. I can see how the style and unforgiving nature could still work in the SW universe. Reply +2

• Shooters: How Video Games Fund Arms Manufacturers

• Rusty_M 01/02/2013

  That really made me think. How bad do I feel about funding arms manufacturers? I really don't know. I play certain games which very realistically depict combat. I'm already torn on the issue, that without genuine war, conflict and death, these games could not exist. In that way I'm promoting something with which I disagree, yet on the other hand, I just tell myself it's not real.
  
  Damnit EG! You just made someone who is conflicted on issues such as this even more so. For that I commend you. Great article. Reply +1

• HMV prepared to go into administration as early as tomorrow

• Rusty_M 14/01/2013

  I really like my local HMV. They've got a huge place with big TV's, PC's and consoles downstairs where you can pay for play time. They even have real pinball tables.
  
  Damn. Reply +11

• Digital Foundry vs. 4K gaming

• Rusty_M 13/01/2013

  I'm not sure I really see the point for the home market. Half of the people with HD TV's don't even connect them to an HD source yet. In any case, 1080p is probably more than enough for most homes. Especially as it seems consoles were struggling to keep up with even that half of the time. Reply +2

• Rusty_M 29/11/2012

  I love COH, and keep meaning to give DOW a good shot. This trailer has gone one step further in persuading me that I want COH2. That tank falling through the ice: Just wow! I look forward to other unusual gameplay ideas like that. Reply 0

  @Ignatius_Cheese too many "run"s for Del Shannon. It looks more like a Talking Heads reference to me. Reply +2

• Saturday Soapbox: Stop Motion

• Rusty_M 20/10/2012

  I always thought Kinect looked like a great piece of technology. By the time it came out, I had been burned by the Wii. By burned, I mean that it was clear that only a select few games did good things with motion control. I decided that for me, it wasn't about the tech, but about what developers did with it. They didn't make enough good use of it to make me want to buy it.
  
  Kinect for PC piqued my interest too. Then they announced the price, and I thought it would be a bit high. Also, I already use a TrackIR, and had wondered how that would compare with Kinect if and when it comes out. I don't think Kinect will fit on top of my monitor as neatly. Reply 0

• Rusty_M 17/10/2012

  Ha! You got the wrong house! You can't be in my house, because I don't have lovely soft pyjamas. I don't have ANY pyjamas. That's right, I sleep nekkid bitch!
  
  great article. I really enjoyed that. I once had to break into my parents' house when I locked myself out when they were on holiday. I didn't attribute my resourcefulness to gaming at the time. This made me think. Reply +3

• Wing Commander creator returns to melt your PC with new space sim Star Citizen

• Rusty_M 10/10/2012

  Consider my interest piqued.
  
  I don't believe in instabuys or pre-ordering any more for the most part, but this is pretty close for me. Its certainly a genre with room for a couple of extra franchises these days. The X series is all I know of that's current, although Freespace 2 and it's mods are no slouch.
  
  In any case, hooray for new blood. Reply +3

• Lost Humanity 16: Size Doesn't Matter

• Rusty_M 10/10/2012

  Horses for courses really. Different lengths suit different games.
  
  I'll choose the best known examples I can think of.
  
  Can you imagine if you could see everything there is to see in Skyrim in the time it takes to complete Call of Duty 4? You'd feel like far too much is missing, and that you'd been cheated.
  
  How about doing it the other way around? 100 hours or more of the CoD formula repeated over different locales? I think it would be very repetitive and boring. Reply 0
