• Eurogamer's Top 50 Games of 2008: 30-21

  (I'll hold myself back from saying that it is poncey to write the title in the native language when it is known worldwide by its translated title).
  
  Eh? How's that holding yourself back? Reply 0

• The Trader's Dilemma

• cheeseweasel 29/11/2008

  Eh? Makes sense all up until the final conclusion - the reason that second hand is less appealing than new in physical media is that you're buying a product that isn't in physically as good condition. It's also more of a gamble whether it will work. How would you ever get this distinction with digital distribution? If you had a choice between new and second hand with a digitally distributed game, nobody in their right mind would buy new.
  
  Maybe a system could work where you simply sold back to the publisher, but I can't envisage a workable system where you were selling on to end users. Reply 0

• The Casuals Are Coming!

• cheeseweasel 12/08/2008

  "Yet journey back in time to the dawn of gaming, when the first Space Invaders descended relentlessly into the public consciousness and, outside of a small cabal of high-score junkies, there was no such thing as "hardcore" gaming."
  
  So what you're saying then, is that apart from some hardcore gamers, there was no such thing as hardcore gaming?
  
  I'm sure there's always been hardcore and casual, I agree with the people saying it's more a distinction between the gamer than the game though. Reply 0

• EA Sports' Peter Moore

  "It's not like in the old days, when Dreamcast and PlayStation, then PlayStation 2 and Xbox were all crowding into a similar space."
  
  Eh?
  
  Aside from mixing and matching generations, how is the PS3 / 360 any different - it's only the Wii that's stepped out of the mold... Reply 0

  If you read the intro to their recent re-review of WoW, it looks like that's exactly what they're planning on doing... Reply 0

  Sounds promising, I guess we won't know when though until there's official word. Reply 0

• Euro UT3 PS3 iffy for 2007

• cheeseweasel 09/11/2007

  Well, to be fair zedzee, Epic isn't publishing the game, so it's out of their hands. Reply 0

• Chegwin and Hansen

• cheeseweasel 28/10/2007

  I can't stand Chegwin, but fair play that interview was brilliant, and he came across very well.
  
  Oh, and can you please get rid of the picture on the front page - it makes me want to be sick. Reply 0

  Or are they actually betting? Reply 0

  Kirly_Wombat, yeah that's what I thought also, and I'm in no bad mood!
  
  I ignored the review until now because the subtitle suggested it was rubbish. Reply 0

  Surely a lap is a lap, and a mare is a level?
  
  Not that it really matters.
  
  The gameplay sounds the same as the saturn one, which is _very_ nice to hear. Reply 0

  @tesco
  
  One of my favourite games is Ikaruga, that's about 25 minutes from beginning to end, yet I've probably put more time into that than any other console game.
  
  Lack of new content in itself does not make a game poor. Reply 0

• Blue Dragon

• cheeseweasel 24/08/2007

  Oops, yeah meant that I can't remember seeing an import review of Blue Dragon, rather than any import review.
  
  Still the fact that I can't remember seeing the review doesn't say a lot - I find it difficult remembering my name a lot of the time... Reply 0

• cheeseweasel 24/08/2007

  You sure you're not thinking of the 9/10 import review in Games TM, or some other? I can't remember ever seeing an import review on EG... Reply 0

  @aine Mistwalker's wiki page says
  
  'Mistwalker outsources coding duties to other companies (including Artoon, and Feel Plus), preferring to focus primarily on the design portion of game development.'
  
  so it sounds like thankfully, maybe your second theory is correct. Reply 0
