• Saturday Soapbox: The magic of dedicated hardware

• lordofthedunce 04/05/2013

  I guess the arcade was often the benchmark but even so, I rarely played games in them compared to the amount of time I played at home. I was happy to sacrifice the quality for convenience and cost. Reply +1

  I remember this being tricky. Good ideas but it was missing a spark somewhere. Reply +8

• This is what top-level COD competition ****ing looks like

  Played rugby for years, never heard abused spewed like that, you'd get 'binned. Heard a bit of swearing and abuse playing football but not like that. Maybe from fans but not many players. Thrse guys are the ambassadors for their sport, maybe a few penalties for poor sportsmanship would help! Reply +6

• lordofthedunce 13/03/2013

  Given what's become of the 'Toby' (my Dead Rising zombie) and Master Chief figures since my 2-year-old son found them I think I'll pass on this. Reply 0

• Lost Planet 3 out in Europe on 28th June

• lordofthedunce 06/03/2013

  LP2 had its (excellent) moments, mixed in with awkward controls and with some great features hidden away. A mad rollercoaster of a game. Reply +2

• Destiny: Bungie unveils its shared-world shooter

• lordofthedunce 17/02/2013

  They certainly sound, er, confident. Fingers crossed it has the scale of Planetside, gameplay of Halo and blurred line between sp and mp like... Brink? Reply +6

• Ouya coming to retail in June for $100

• lordofthedunce 05/02/2013

  Pee for Peace, The Pedobear Returns and Balls In Your Face are what the big consoles are missing tbh. Reply -1

• It's time to ignore Dead Space 3's micro-transactions

• lordofthedunce 02/02/2013

  I wish more games would use the Forza-style method: allow game assists to be switched off for more of a challenge, but reward those players with more XP or whatever. I think charging less-skilled/impatient players for unlocking content faster is pushing the gaming model down a very shitty road. Reply +17

  I remember CoI, and it's not fondly. I was 11 at the time, and I thought MM and Disney stuff was toss. Reply +1

• Higher than expected Dishonored sales mean Bethesda has a new franchise

• lordofthedunce 28/11/2012

  @JedEvangelion
  
  I agree to an extent but didn't Bethesda take that risk with the initial game?!
  It didn't work out with Brink but it did with Dishonored, so I think Bethesda is within it's rights to want more from the IP. And I'm sure it'll be paying close attention to Arkane's other ideas, too. Reply +1

• lordofthedunce 28/11/2012

  Cracking single-player fun. There is some replay value, too. Reply +12

• Chivalry: Medieval Warfare review

• lordofthedunce 28/11/2012

  8 shalt be the number thou shalt score, and the number of the scoring shall be 8. 
  9 shalt thou not score, nor either score thou 7, excepting that thou then proceed to 8. 
  Five is right out. 
  Once the number 8, being the eighth number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy review towards thy foe (reviews editor) who, being naughty in my sight, shall publish it. Reply +136

  When I looked at the stats page a few data back there were 6,000-odd active users online and the thing was still totally screwed. Is it active users putting a strain on things or something else? Reply 0
