• Bethesda re-releases Wolfenstein 3D on XBLA and PSN ahead of The New Order

• Vortex808 31/05/2013

  I got it when it was released first out on XBLA, I'm not sure I would bother as bad09 suggests.
  
  Doom I & II hold up much better for nostalgia *and* current day re-playability IMO. Reply +1

• Mirror's Edge 2 listed on Amazon Italy, Germany

• Vortex808 23/05/2013

  Fingers crossed. I would be delighted if it was true.
  
  I'll hope for news of Alpha Protocol 2 next! ;-) Reply +1

• Call of Juarez: Gunslinger review

• Vortex808 21/05/2013

  Damn, and me with no moon points either having cleared most of them out in readiness for the next gen by buying Blood Dragon.
  
  I like westerns and would like to support another of the few games set in that era.
  
  Now to attempt to resist buying more points.... Reply 0

• Aliens: Colonial Marines co-developer TimeGate Studios has been shuttered - report

• Vortex808 10/05/2013

  As has been said, this is very sad news. I have probably said it ad nauseum, but both Section 8 games were all kinds of sublime in my book. It's a crying shame neither sold as well as they should have. Reply +1

• Capcom's annual results are in, "focusing on the overhaul of overseas development companies"

• Vortex808 08/05/2013

  Dragons Dogma: Dark Arisen must help boost the Dragon's Dogma sales quite a bit this year too I would have thought. The expansion and original game being sold for about £15 will surely see many more sales clocked up. And all at minimal extra development cost too. Reply +5

• TimeGate Studios has filed for bankruptcy

• Vortex808 03/05/2013

  Shame. The Section 8 games were some of the best multiplayer I've played. Reply +3

• Metro 2033 retrospective

• Vortex808 10/03/2013

  I really enjoyed Metro and can't wait for the sequel. The atmosphere was fantastic and I loved sneaking about the tunnels. Especially once I found the night vision goggles. I liked the need to wind your charger and change filters too, which might have been annoying, but seemed to help with immersion & build tension IMO.
  
  The only down point for me was the pink blobs. Reply +11

• This week on Outside Xbox

• Vortex808 09/03/2013

  Looking forward to getting DD when it's released. Just need to finish Skyrim first, so I have some spare RPGS time first! Reply +2

• Battlefield 3: End Game review

• Vortex808 07/03/2013

  @Bludsh0t You could buy a 16Gb USB stick for it, or 120GB HDD aren't much on ebay. I got one a year or two back to replace my 20Gb premium one and the 2x USB's I was using. Best thing I've done! Reply +1

  @Vice.Destroyer :) I had a feeling you would agree with a hard line being taken for that crime! Reply +1

• Aliens: Colonial Marines "primary development" outsourced to Section 8 developer TimeGate Studios - report

• Vortex808 12/02/2013

  Both Section 8 games had some of the best multiplayer I've played. Why did they not do that and Gearbox do the campaign?
  
  Time gate's recent record shouldn't be called into question by gearbox since it must be as good as anyone else's after both Section 8 games reviewed well. Reply +1

  I see this article is tagged as an Xbox720 game, not an Xbox360 one. Do EG know something? ;-)

• Vortex808 04/10/2012

  Quarrel is on of my favourite XBLA games ever, I really can't believe it languished for a couple of years waiting to get published, it's brilliant!
  
  I never realised they were a splinter of DMA design though, and I got a serious whiff of nostalgia at the very mention of Zzap64. :) Reply 0
