But then the opposite argument applies. What happens if you have a massively critically acclaimed game that just doesn't get the sales due to a variety of reasons outside of the developers controls (Such as the publisher putting it out against the Autumn/Winter big hitters, or just refusing to put any marketing money…

With HD initially being a mix of 1&2 content, its possible Papa Roach could make it on. I hope so at least, since I'm far more familiar with THPS2 maps and soundtrack than 1.

Also Gearbox. I still feel Borderlands had some of the best DLC/Expansions in the past few years, even surpassing FO3/NV

Sidetracking for a second, am I the only one who thought that "Somebody That I Used to Know" was an unknown The Police track jumping into the charts randomly? The chorus is what made me think it, it sounds exactly like Sting.

Hostile much? The PC version was an improved UI, it was one of the selling points over the 360 version and often came up in reviews. Nowhere is DragonLost trying to "justify his/her decision in owning or playing only 1 platform", as your misplaced rage issues put it, he's giving an opinion on how the article outright…

You mean those $20/£20 expansion packs that often added 20-30 hours of gameplay to a typical RPG, or 10 to an FPS? Stuff like HL: Opposing Force, the 3 NWN expansions, Diablo: LOD, Morrowind Tribunal and Bloodmoon and more recently the Titan Quest expansion? Comparing those to the 2-3 hours at best (Most of the ME2…

The bloody annoying thing is, he didn't. Drew Karpyshyn had been building a pretty interesting side story involving Cereberus and a core set of characters. Dietz has picked this up and, from the sounds of it, shat on from a great height. So if Karpyshyn ever does come back for another one, this one will need to be…

How do you get the latest HB up on Onlive (Unless I'm missing something in your post)? I've just had a look at my redeem keys and can't see an Onlive option, only Steam.

In case UK readers didn't know, Film4 are currently doing a Ghibli season this month, and are showing Laputa next Monday. Only pain is they're showing them just after 4pm, so its either Sky+ or miss the beginning and catch it on +1 if you work till 5 like me :\

The photo of the tattoo itself is taken in a mirror. Look at the shirt.

That trailer looked pretty awesome. Should definitely get round to finishing the first one.

Tbh, it lost out to its equal. Bastion has one of the finest soundtracks to a game I've heard.

Sounds a lot like me when I've heard recordings of myself, so I'm going to guess South East England, Kent or nearby.

Some of the Muppets/Sesame Street puppeters have gone on to do Avenue Q (The famous one being Bert and Ernie's puppeters playing the gay parodies of themselves on the Broadway show). You VERY quickly naturally block out the puppeters and focus on the puppets themselves.

O2 kicks arse if you're on the older legacy packages without limits, and they're slowly pricing those customers into either leaving or switching. The new packages are simply arse, usage limits and trafficing.

Completely disregarding the actual topic, did I miss something about the extra Catwoman costumes? Don't remember hearing about those.

I think that mountain is a long enough distance :P

Its actually in the directors commentary on the deleted scenes. I can't remember it exactly (Haven't watched them since the bluray was released), but it was along the lines of Favreau wanting the first shot to be of the suit being actioney rather than the film opening with dialogue before the first wow scene.

SML2 is out today. I'm a bit annoyed I have to put £10 on my 3DS to get it when its only about £3.

Really, its not as good as it sounds. It was basically a shoehorned in idea to try and hit a "look how crazy and off the wall everything is!" and instead just felt like the snake eating its own tail while shouting "BUB!"
