  Anyone know if Raid mode in this has split screen or is it online only? Reply 0

  If you consider Black Nick Fury as his own character, he's only existed since post-2000 and has all but eliminated the original from public consciousness. Also how exactly are Image comics "run into the ground" they're pretty much the bastion of creator owned works at the moment. The difference between creator owned comics and games in my mind though is that you can make a comic with about five people writer, artist, colourist, editor and publisher (although some of these roles are regularly combined, artist-colourist for example). Games take a a lot more staff, raising the question, can this really all be attributed to the person who came up with the concept, or as a product of the whole production team? Reply +6

• Madden NFL 25 the latest EA game to skip Wii U - what now for FIFA 14?

• Whitster 03/05/2013

  @TheRealBadabing this would make a lot of sense given their lack of projects for Vita/3DS as well. Reply +1

  @dapperbandit I'm sorry but although the art style may be 2d and comprised of geometric shapes on this one, it looks far from 8-bit. Reply +12

• Star Trek: The Video Game review

  Pretty nerdy question, since the Gorn already got a modern redesign in Enterprise, and the timeline didn't diverge until later, why did they feel the need to redesign them again? Reply +3

  So this is even less representative of Star Trek than even the first film then. Reply +4

• UK government launches in-app purchases survey for parents

• Whitster 17/04/2013

  @arcam I would be horrified if the phone was somehow purchasing these against the users will. Since all of them have been brought due to a direct or indirect choice on the parents part, I couldn't care less. Reply 0

• Saturday Soapbox: The high cost of free-to-play

• Whitster 13/04/2013

  I remember when I first got my iPhone based on a "50 Best Games" article in Edge. For the first few years there was so much vibrancy and creativity in the mobile scene, I look through the App Store now and it's just depressing how many games are using this model rather than actually innovating to get me to spend money on them. I've never seen a gaming scene fall so low so quickly. Reply +25

• Mass Effect 3: Citadel review

• Whitster 06/03/2013

  @Kolorabi that was pretty much my point but judging by the analogy of wanting desert included with my main I guess I must be one of these "entitled" gamers I hear so much about. Reply 0

• Whitster 06/03/2013

  This does sound like awesome fan service, but releasing it as DLC feels a bit like coming out of Return of the Jedi and being charged £5 to go back in and watch the party on Endor at the end. Reply -4

  @TheRealBadabing that's not even always true mate, the last two places I've lived in in Havering (which is greater London) have both been ADSL only, about 3mbs max. Reply +1

  @LittleMousy "Drakes Theme" from uncharted is one of the best theme tunes ever, that was my ringtone for about a year after uncharted 3. At the moment I can't get the world map theme from Ni No Kuni out of my head. Reply +5

• Whitster 13/02/2013

  Why do they insist on just slapping a theme on an existing board game for these things rather than creating a new one that fits the genre, theme and tone of the series? Reply +2

  It's amazing how quickly the sycophantic company men come out of the woodwork on EG whenever something like this comes up. Better not mention I used to be a union shop steward, you might have me on trial as a commie sympathiser! Reply +9

  @DJDog yeah the correct complaint would be about the heavy handed religious allegory of Prometheus, the fanwank only really came about in the last 5 minutes, but man did they slap it in your face. Reply +5
