Any fans of the Lone Wolf series - as I was back then - the entire collection of books has been made available online to play in your browser. I found this totally by accident last year, and have been playing through them in my lunch hour when I get the chance - outstanding books, really well written... Project Aon |
| Would half a packet of fruit pastilles tempt you to keep MetaBet? |
| Early days though? We all know what E3 is like - you need something brazen to get everyone talking. Maybe a twenty-minute game section of Shepherd discussing the political situation on the Asari homeworld might not have got the journos' attention? I agree ME2 was more shooty than ME1, but am prepared to reserve judgement until next March. Unless ME3 has either a) the Mako, or b) planet scanning - in which case all bets are off... |

One of the problems - which I guess is inherent in all gaming podcasts - is embargos. What's interesting about a reviewer saying what they've been playing that week if they can't even reveal the title? It's not informative if nobody can express any opinions - although I'm not sure what the way round would be. Enjoyed the Nintendo discussion, more of that style please. I guess it's up to the forum to provide more questions then... ;) |
| Winter Olympiad '88 on the Atari ST? It sounds about the same as this one, in terms of gameplay mechanics |
| or it could be a big scary monster of some kind. |
| Fan of the Dears eh? It's a great album, and no mistake |
| This seems like the perfect time filler before Sim City DS comes out in the Summer... |
| Thompson called the game a 'Columbine Instruction Manual' - whereas from all I've read about it, it seems more like a 'Grange Hill Instruction Manual'. The man's a delusional fantasist who sees himself as the appointed protector against the inherent evil of videogaming. He should be forgotten as soon as possible (at least until Rockstar's next release). Idiot. |
| But will it have Cliff Racers? |
| Nicely written, Ellie. It must be almost impossible to learn first-hand about things those soldiers went through, then have to ask one ofthose soldiers about a computer game. |
| Heh, Tricolore books. Madame Duval was always off to the marche in La Rochelle. |
| These days you can pick up Secret Weapons Over Normandy for about a tenner - one of the most underrated games on the Xbox, IMO. |
|
*wonders if he can survive until 20th Apr on £80* Sure you can...buy £80 worth of vitamins and drink lots of water. It's not as if you'll be going out, anyway... ;) |
| So it seems the Xbox360 finally has a killer app. I always knew this would be the one possible game that would persuade me to buy a 360 - and so it seems. I can't wait to play it... |
| Did he get $10 every time he picked someone up? |
| There had better not be any bloody Cliff Racers in this one... |
| Love those Japanese novelty vending machines in the last photo. When I was there recently I plugged many a Y100 coin into those things. I've got four model crabs and a mini fishtank on my desk at the moment... ;) |
| Just finished the Mons level in the rainy trenches. I'm really enjoying this, it's a corker. |
| SA - Something Awful. They had a go a Kieron's Darwinia review, putting it in their top 5 most pretentious bits of games journalism of 2005. |
| I can't wait to play this, when it finally comes out in the UK. Nice list, EG. |
| Also Darren, Fifa RTWC06 scored 2/10 because it's God-awful. |
| The Routecreator sounds interesting. I think this is one of those games that don't force you to buy a console - but if you buy the console you feel you have to get it. If you see what I mean. |
| Cheers! I doubt they could afford me, though... :P |

We still need to pay for every article we publish, same as they do - it's just that our readers fund us by looking at advertisements, rather than paying a lot of money for the sake of some dead tree. Eurogamer saves teh environment! |
| Love those comments on Amazon! |
| It certainly looks nice - I'll give this one a go, I think |

I've never really understood blatant fanboyism. If you like one of the consoles then surely you like gaming enough to appreciate the other systems on the market too. Sticking solely with one over all the others seems pointless. Even more so when it's because of the company behind the product, rather than the product itself or the games. If you followed football, you support the players and the team they play for - not the chairman or the owner. If you want to live with your disillusions and blank out all but one supplier, then fair enough. I like gaming for what it is, not who it is - so I own consoles by Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo, and enjoy using all of them. |
| As peej said - this is going to fly off the shelves. If I had a PSP it would be on my list, simple as that |
| What's David Bentley like Kristen? Rovers just signed him on loan. |
| sonmi451 - I assume you drive a ford? ;) |

Looking at the rulebook, I think that's more a three of a kind, so far... +Blerk says 'meh' - Royal Flush +mention of Lutz/MH 'are they...aren't they' - Full House |
| Will the first run of X360's ship with disc trays that screw up after six months like the original xbox? I think I'll wait for 12months and let the teething problems settle before I pick one up. GBP280 at launch is great. Launching two different spec-consoles at once, isn't. |
|
Well, the DS seems to be leaps ahead of the PSP when it comes to games... /stands back |

But what colour will it be? I paid a lot of money on release for a Playstation, and didn't regret it. I then waited a few months after the PS2 was released and picked one up at the first price reduction, and didn't regret it. I waited about a year after the Xbox was released and bought one for almost half the original RRP, and didn't regret it (apart from the hernia it gave me carrying it home). All good consoles, all well-packaged. That said, I'm glad I waited with the Xbox as I avoided the problems of the disc tray on the earlier models - I've never had a DDE yet. I'll be waiting a while to buy any of the new consoles as there's still plenty to explore on the PS2 and Xbox to keep me going for another 12months until the next-gen lot have settled down. The difference this time compared to the launch of the PS2/Xbox is the current amount of games to be played. You can argue over GBP50 here and there, or the semantics of statements by CEO's, but I look at the amount of games on my 'to buy' list - across all current formats, and I'm content. |
| Good for you |
| When they get the Lone Wolf books on the iPod, then I'll be interested... |
| Hmmm, I've got a mint copy of FFVII sitting at home somewhere with all my old PS1 games. Maybe I should hold onto it a bit longer... |
| Well done spanks... :) |
| So it's about as good as the Matrix Reloaded then... |
| Lou - annoyed by subtle quips and a fan of unsubtle quiffs? |

Hamster Corp? Now you can experience all the fun of searching for an escaped hamster in - 'Hammy Flies the Coop' - on PS2, GC, xbox (GC version not available in Europe). Can you evade capture?

Mixes stealth modes with epic combat - hug the skirting board like Solid Snake, battle massive God of War-style bosses like 'irate grandfather with 4-iron'. Can you evade the Dyson-toting rebellious teenager? Includes Katamari Damacy-style hamster ball rolling minigames! BBFC classification pending - includes graphic rodent nudity. May encourage children to eat their young. Released Q1 2006... |
| I used to work in a book warehouse with Andrew Flintoff's brother, you know. |
| You don't need parking - just take the 380 up Oxford Street |
| That's not the same Dave Perry that used to appear on Gamesmaster, is it? |
|
we believe in having opinions so if you feel MS sucks, you might as well come out and say so, instead of just giving lower scores to their games and putting negative spins on stories, sheesh! I'm predicting an anti-Gizmondo EG bias in the very near future then... |
