• After children rack up huge bills, UK government announces investigation into "aggressive" in-app purchases

• glottis0 12/04/2013

  @DiamondIce - yes, they have a compulsory password entry for purchases which (as far as I've tried) can't be disabled.
  
  The 'parental controls' aren't even necessary on iOS - just don't give kids your password.
  
  Saying "I gave them the password because they said the game was £1" is like saying you gave them the pin to your credit card to buy a sandwich and moaning when they use it to buy a £300 Lego Deathstar. Reply +2

• Breathing life into BioShock Infinite

• glottis0 20/03/2013

  Stop overhyping it!!! Bioshock was amazing but ZOMG I wish it had less press coverage before release - I miss the old days of not knowing every character and location before I played and actually you know, discovered them. Reply +5

  That banner picture of all the ships reminds me of those posters they have of different fish/crabs in chip shops. Reply +30

• The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt announced for 2014

• glottis0 05/02/2013

  I think they'll be aiming more for Dark Souls than Skyrim. The second game was pretty heavily influenced by Demon's Souls. Reply 0

• Eve Online: when 3000 players collide

• glottis0 29/01/2013

  Reading this reminded me of when I tried to get my girlfriend's little sister to explain what was happening in "Made in Chelsea", which I found equally impenetrable.
  
  Still, I always wish I was patient/clever enough to actually get into Eve. Reply 0

• Grand Theft Auto 5 PC fan petition reaches 45k votes

• glottis0 27/11/2012

  They should Kickstarter PC versions. Simple reward structure - pay £30 and get a copy of the game when it's done. That way, they can trust the petition numbers and have nothing to lose by making it.
  
  Or maybe I'm missing something...I'm dumb at business. Reply +12

• Dishonored's Corvo used to sure look a lot like Thief's Garrett

• glottis0 22/10/2012

  The last paragraph is the most important part really - this is important for marketing and for getting a general feel for the character...but the player really doesn't see any of this. In fact, the fact that you can imagine Corvo just as easily as a ruthless assassin or a careful pacifist is kind of essential to the gameplay. Reply +8

• Dark Souls PC mod modded to enable 60fps

• glottis0 17/09/2012

  I'm a big PC gamer and I do love a good PC-optimised game (I spent all my money on a Nividia 590 just for playing Witcher 2 and Battlefield 3 at loony resolutions), BUT Dark Souls is still the best game I've played in a decade.
  
  Moaning about how the port could've been better is like getting a blowjob from Christina Hendricks and moaning that she could've done a titty-wank. Reply +2

• PC strategy game Endless Space given release date

• glottis0 09/05/2012

  @SClaw - it plays a lot differently. This is an 'old-fashioned' turn-based 4X game, whereas Sins was a (IMHO very successful) attempt to liven up the formula by doing everything in realtime.
  
  Endless Space (at alpha anyway) plays a lot like a Total War game but in space, only with less involved combat. That said, it's rather compelling and slick...worth keeping an eye on if nerdy strategy games are your cup of tea :D Reply +2

• iOS turn-based strategy game Hunters 2 out today

  It's awesome. They appear to have fixed all of the small gripes about the first one, and the whole thing is just so damn slick. Reply 0

• Syndicate launch trailer blasts out the dubstep

• glottis0 15/02/2012

  @artibeus - I've been getting into dubstep recently. I previously shunned most Dance music because I found it too simplistic and repetitive but there's something interesting about some of this stuff (like Skrillex and Kill the Noise). I'm 28 and I'm more likely to be playing Shadow of the Colossus than COD...so either I'm the exception that proves the rule, or you're a bit off the mark. Reply +3

• Alan Wake PC version footage

  @Grump - Get Batman AC off that list right now! The PC version was beautiful, so much so that I bought it again to play through in "proper HD" after finishing it on console. Reply -3

• Official Mass Effect 3 Xbox 360 and PS3 console mods revealed

  I really struggle to get excited about Mass Effect 3. Playing Bioware games post- Witcher 2 feels a bit like wanking would after getting a handjob from Christina Hendricks. Reply +4

• SoulCalibur 5 DLC revealed

• glottis0 27/01/2012

  Guys - day one DLC is not necessarily greed or a rip-off. Where is it written in your book of cosmic entitlement that paying £35 gives you the right to play anything a company has worked on in the last 4 years? You decide when you buy a game whether the content is worth the money, and then when DLC is released, again you decide if that content is worth the money...
  Do you also complain when you have to pay extra to get Aircon or CD Multichangers in your new car, even though they were already designed and the fittings are already present in the vanilla model? Reply 0

• GAME website removing PC games is a mistake

  @PeacockDreams - don't knock it until you've tried it. A PC can help you with your grammar as well as fulfilling your (true)HD gaming requirements. Reply +24
