"Watch This King Wage War On The Sun"

Um Well, I did mention that myself. Also this is about the same size as the Valve prototype, and you would assume that 3rd parties are at the very least going to use that as a starting point. Regardless, there was always going to be a variety of models at different price points, because not everyone needs/wants the…

There's going to be tons of variations. This one isn't Valve's.

There's been pics of the inside and make-up of the Valve prototype, which if this is anything like, uses full-sized PC components, merely arranged in a non-standard way. I think the Mobo is the only thing that's non-standard.

I'm sure the light will be optional to turn on/off. This is Linux-based, after all.

The Valve prototype had separate ventilation for the GPU, PSU and CPU. Quite genius, actually.

It's Kotaku and next-gen console season, he's got to mention/liken stuff to ps4/xbox, for some reason, I'm sure. 'It's got a light in it' = ps, for the purposes of this article.

I would take Darksiders 2, Batman Arkham City or Deus Ex: HR Directors Cut over Mass Effect 3, any day of the week.

Thing is, Knack could've been good, there was nothing really known about it until its release, but everything about Ryse leading up to release flagged up 'crap' to those of us who've been gaming long enough to know bullshit when we see it. That's why this review is surprising, as it's not just going against the…

Not at all, but if you're always wildly differing that implies you don't look at games through an appropriate lens.

He should be giving more stuff, he's a pretty good actor. I really liked The Eagle.

It's less to do with what's written on the button, and more to do with the button placement. X is always a primary function in games, whereas O is secondary, and not as intuitive to jab quickly on feel alone.

If only always. Him turning into a gun was always fucking stupid.

I'm not talking about Valve's permission, I'm talking about a word from them on the mod. Anything. Something for them to say with 'Half-Life' in a sentence.

Would like to have seen a Valve response to this.

If that's true that's horrible. I can't believe they'd let her step all over Rhianna Pratchett's work.

I think the problem is she's not advocating anything. She's using armchair critique without putting forward any real alternatives, which usually implies that her critique isn't necessarily accurate or that well considered.

Was anyone else really hoping it was going to look and play better on the X360? The fallout would've been hilarious!

Well, the way you phrase it makes it sound like it's an all or nothing affair, whereas in terms of risk there really isn't that much on the developer side unless we are talking about games that need ground-up retooling just to get it working on Linux. It's not as if they are picking between this and the next…

I think it's actually a done deal. They are coming at it from behind, as it were. Rather than saying 'Come on guys, make games for Linux!' they are promoting SteamOS and the Steam Machines, which if developers want their games running natively, will be making their games linux compatible. The net result of which, is…
