That said, has anyone tried suing Microsoft for how buggy Windows 9x and ME were back in the day? So frivolous litigation has finally crossed over into the realm of electronic entertainment...

3.) Beijing International Airport

I remember that it happened in Tom Clancy's Debt of Honor. It wasn't received well, to say the least of it...

Wait... Command & Conquer: Generals?

The BF3 novel actually had a field day with almost all the Russian protagonists pointing out that they're supposed to be the bad guys. Unlike the game's story, it makes sense as well...

I presume if DICE gets lobbied hard enough they might add maps from Battlefield 2's Armored Fury pack. All 3 maps there feature the US being invaded, in 2 instances the MEC, and the other China... oh.

I missed a plane once - on purpose - because I was still sitting at home finishing Red Storm Rising. If Princess Diana had walked into my bedroom naked as a jaybird just as I was three quarters of the way through The Devil's Advocate, I wouldn't have looked up long enough even to tell her to get lost.

Just like newspaper headlines here in Malaysia, I see. Of course, being stuck in a classroom for 8 hours (not uncommon here) with very little chance of movement is not a risk for deep vein thrombosis... right? I move more while playing Civilization than in class, for crying out loud. But then again, this sort of…

Better hope they don't mess up the nerve connections then...

Well, the SLS Electric Drive concept made me feel less bad about that shade of yellow-green, so there's that...

"You come for the cars, but you stay because of the cheese!"

Well, I haven't completed it yet (16 FPS at best kind of gets in the way), but from wha I've heard from my friends there are some interesting twists along the way.

Uh that 99$ thing is for all the cars in the top tier unlocked in one go (I got it by grinding credits). However, it doesn't cover upgrades for said cars... Asphalt 7 was a game where you could float cash easily, but in A8 you have to grind like crazy *before* it went free to play. I think the boosts and the…

What are the odds that this will be so microtransaction-centric that it makes Real Racing 3 blanch?

Programming errors aside, the core gameplay is actually pretty enjoyable. Even at 16 FPS (yes my PC is a fossil).

Yes, but it's mainly an excuse plot, like... every other NFS game with one.

Ugh World. The devs just stopped caring...

It's more of a halfway house between the classic NFS handling and HP '10's. You can negotiate corners without drifting like in The Run, but exiting a drift in Rivals is far easier than it is in The Run.

There's that, but this is the car that scared Walter Rohrl, and they say it might have been modified...

Well, there's the issue that the "island" encroaches on the "fantail" (if I haven't mucked up its name), and hence is only really suitable for planes with really stubby wings...
