@enteraltaego IIRC in the WW2 sensi soccer game you could soft-lock it by killing off all the outfield players, leaving the two goalkeepers, neither of whom was permitted to kick off. Also, as a kid I failed to realise that Advanced Lawnmower Simulator, given away on a Your Sinclair coverdisk, was an April Fools joke. So frustrating! |
|
@VanBurenPhilips This behaviour is so completely and utterly disgraceful I can't believe there hasn't been more coverage of it.Your comment should be top. I wouldn't have bought this Werewolf game as it's not really my bag, but now I'm minded to start telling other folk to avoid their games too. |
|
@SupremeAC Don't even joke about it. So painful. |
|
@edsmith +1 for using ‘phenomenological’ outside an essay -1 for being too clever by half EDIT: now I’m having Husserl flashbacks. Git! |
| @Gazz Take heart - the weapon stuff was for the previous incarnation, Racing Apex, that didn't work out. No mention of anything other than pure Daytona-esque racing for the main mode here! |
| @jabberwocky And Tekken 2, 5 and 6! Not quite the mystery they're making him out to be |
a naff-but-secretly-brilliant fantasy theme pub just outside of Chertsey where you can have your picture taken next to a fake stone goblin and also get a decent rate on jalapeno poppersSuspiciously specific. Also sounds ace. Is this a real place, Christian? |
| @Zidargh Yeah man! Great to see he's even the got the proper knees-together stance in the first section of his reveal |
| @BadMonkey yes! It's the only way to express true gratefulness |
|
Is Chris single-handedly writing all the content for Eurogamer now? Or is the entire staff just away for an extended summer break? Not complaining, just curious! |

It's a small thing, but the Demo1 CD had a huge impact on me. Because I couldn't afford a PSX, I was stuck rocking up to the electronics retailers of the time on a Saturday afternoon and rinsing those demos for everything they were worth. But such was the electric effect of the 3D graphics on my teenage brain that I could have happily played that two-character demo of Toshinden for the rest of my natural life. Those shallow demos of unfinished games were like a mainline straight into the future, and even if I had to get my fix 90 seconds at a time, I was hooked in a way that felt so different to the SNES I had at home. When got to uni two years later I'd finally scraped enough together to get a Playstation of my very own, and soon found myself writing for the games pages of the student rag. Never got a job as proper games journalist, but it made me realise you absolutely could[/I] use your passion to drive your career. I've ended up in the film industry because of it, and made some cracking friends along the way. All because of that little disc. |
| My head says Hearthstone, but the 8-year old boy in me won't stop screaming ROCK'N'ROLL RACING. First game I ever mastered to the point where the computer was absolutely no match for me. I'm not sure I even went outside for a whole summer. But it was a Scottish summer, so it doesn't really count. |
| @Phishfood Ah legend! Swear it wasn't there when I looked before. The estore needs sorting (especially the search). |
| LIES! The Taiko no Tatsujin demo is nowhere to be found on the UK eshop : ( |
If you want to do an Immelmann in Fugl it's because you work up that morning and really wanted to do an Immelmann, and not because the man told you toJonathan Livingston Fugl? |
| @barrilang You were born in 1980! I know this because I also got this game freon the cover of a speccy magazine when I was 12 (probably Your Sinclair). My father discovered me playing it one night because I couldn't stop laughing. It was confiscated and I was never to play it again. |

So, Mr Donlan, do you think your memory is better for all this training? My memory is staggeringly awful for dates, times and Important Life Events, but excellent for trivia, odd things people say, and video game maps. I half suspect this is because I don't give a fig for dates, times, or who was at my fourth birthday, but remembering the track layouts for Streak: Hoverboard Racing is somehow fucking critical |
| I think the real surprise here is that there's a Nintendo Portugal. |
| What a wonderful article. Wish it had a few more examples though. The one time I would have been happy with a list article and EG has to be all restrained... |
|
Oi, Eurogamer subs - you don't know the difference between 'diffuse' and 'defuse'. One's for fine sprays, the other's for bombs. Cheers, a grumpy sub |
| Hang on - so it's Cabal?! Fair enough, but can we stop talking like this is a strikingly new approach to games. |
|
Is this an alpha or beta review? URL and copy claims it's alpha; title claims it's beta. Loved the concept of Frozen Synapse, but the fiddliness of the controls and the amount of play-important rules that never got explained meant that unless you plugged hundreds of hours into it, you always felt like you were missing something. |
| Looks pretty mint. The different weapons remind me of Turrican (no bad thing). |
| Wow, this looks absolutely fantastic. So fluid. |
| Every time someone puts an unnecessary apostrophe in a video title, got kills an ocelot (aerially). |
| Typo: "We are a very large company company ..." |
| @Masaroth - Ah, maybe that pizza business is misleading. Cheers for the details, this might be playable after all. |
|
This sounds ace! All except the F2P part. I'll gladly pay cash money up front for a full version, or for a new episode/ quest bundle, but the kind of thing I suspect we're talking about here (currency called 'pizza slices') makes me think I'm going to have to pay to play beyond a couple of hours. And I hate that. Can you elaborate on what the pizza slices do, Mr Donlan? |
| typo: '24 original xlevels' |
| This sounds considerably less advanced than Spartan Total Warrior on the GameCube. |

Hello Eurogamer writer folk, you might want to clarify that the £35 activation cost 'is thought to be' part of the price of purchasing the game second hand, not an additional cost levied after the S/H transaction. My 2p: I can see why MS are trying to get cuts for publishers in the S/H market, that makes some kind of sense. But I'm not sure how this £35 thing will work - if I buy a S/H game for £5 at CeX, will I then have to stump up another £30 to MS before I can play it permanently? |
| I am disappointed by the lack of robot dinosaur in this story. |
| @uninspiredcup I have no idea precisely what you're trying to to say, but I wholly approve of your approach. |
| At the risk of laying bare the secrets of the game, does the money you earn depend on on how you burn stuff? Is a longer, hotter burn better? Is there any skill (aside from selecting items for named combos), or are you just working through the catalogue? |
| I don't even play Skyrim. I just came in here to congratulate whichever sub wrote that tagline. 'Proper office lol' as they say in the trade. |
| Ooh, interesting! /snaffles |
|
Got this yesterday and totally agree with Mr Donlan - it's a laugh. Only problem I have is with the multiple simultaneous strikes - they seem to be a law unto themselves (or perhaps I'm just shit). @mr_bez - That's about right. The creators (a group of programming ladies who have developed this game during the gaps in their maternity leave) acknowledge their debt to Elite Beat Agents in every interview they do. Interview here. |
| At the risk of being ultra-touchy, is that first bout being fought at the remains of the Twin Towers? |
| To answer my own question, I didn't notice that each gauge has a button outlined in grey underneath the gauge. Duh. |
| Started playing this - quite entrancing, although it does occasionally feel like it's not registering my touch. Not sure if I'm touching the wrong part of the screen or what. |
|
Clown suits can only ever improve the quality of my fighting-game-related nightmares. In other news, how come when I push the 'skip ad' button, it just pauses the ad? |
|
Kojima Productions is aiming for accurate physics-based lightning with Fox Engine I'm guessing Fox Engine isn't actually a weather simulator. |
| Nice article. Not sure if Any Payne really meant to say supermarkets would be making 'androgynous, bland offering(s)'. If I saw a hermaphrodite supermarket, I'd run a fucking mile... |
| I'll give these guys +5 'nice chap' points for not saying 'what kind of idiot company would release a handheld without dual analogues these days?'. |
| Christ, you could buy a DC, a copy of the original and an extra controller for that! |
|
I wish my goatee was purposeful. Nice article Oli! |
|
Anyone point me in the direction of the Rolento art that heads up this feature? EDIT: found it here: http://feedthegamer.info/2011-09-14/stre... |

Is anyone else starting to resent the fact that before we get to watch what is essentially an advert for a game, we have to watch and advert for something else we don't want? I know that EG only get paid for posting one of the ads, but it still seems like a weird thought. Or even more weirdly, in this particular video you have to watch an ad before you get to the actual game footage, which is a game that advertises another game. /scanners moment |
