Reviews seem mixed, particularly for D2.
I think a tenner to find out for myself would be worthwhile - I'll be sure and take a look after though.

How to write BioShock Infinite
It just felt a little bit 'forced' I guess.
I've always struggled to explain this but the nature of combining plasmids and guns and all that kind of thing felt very 'directed' - like there was a right way and a wrong way - which kind of takes away the point for me. Reply +1
I'd rather a 'game' had fantastic gameplay and a boring story than the other way around. Reply -1
Starbreeze's latest looks like it could be this year's Journey
Oh I agree, I was just pointing out that I hope consoles continue to prove viable to smaller budget and indie games.
I didn't 'neg' the chap. Reply 0
Square Enix just took a game that has always had a gameplay identity - a unique way of doing things - and turned it into a by-the-numbers exercise in box-ticking.
The mainstream section of the games market has become afraid to innovate.
That's the bleak future.
The largest area of the industry, the area that just last gen gave us Metroid: Prime and GTA: Vice City is now giving us clones of countless other games - each actually allowing you to 'play' a little bit less than the last.
I'm not an indie snob, my favourite two games of last year were Sonic Racing and Borderlands (The top 4 would round out with Proteus and Hotline Miami) but the type of games offered by the largest section of the industry are becoming less and less interesting. Reply +4
I just hope that consoles continue to offer a valid platform for these projects into the next generation. Reply +3

Of the hundred or so more than worthwhile games on the machine only a small fraction WEREN'T third party.
Anyway, I hope Spector finds a more receptive audience soon. Perhaps the next generation will he kinder to him. Reply +2

PlayStation Mobile: the best of the launch titles
We're on the same page here.
As I said at the top, I'd very much like for this to be a success.
And as we've both said, people regard >£2 as too much.
So, with the state of the market, these devs are more likely to sell 3 games at £1.50 than they are to sell 1 game at £4.50. Reply -1
If you went to the pub and they charged you twelve quid for your pint - despite better tasting and better marketed beverages costing 3 pounds at the other end of the bar - what would you do? Reply -4
