I posted on the last article about this looking like a strange way of doing an origin story (well actually, I suggested this game might involve a new Batman - not unlike the MGS 2 bait-and-switch, or involve some book-ended older Batman narrative).

I think you may well be right. I hope that translates to massively slumping sales of them until they're forced to close down, as successive generations refuse to buy into their bilious commentary. Though with the current investigation into phone hacking, bribing and so on, The Sun may well go the same way as its…

I'm looking at this and thinking 'meh'. Far too many games are coming in these Deluxe Collector's Editions, and most often they just don't seem worth it. I get they're for collector's and that's fine, but they could perhaps put in more effort so that said collector's don't think 'well, I got it, but damn if the stuff…

I read it because it was the paper my grandparents had, and for some reason my parents bought. Oddly, they never really seemed to agree much with the articles, so perhaps they only got it to vent their pent up indignation. My sister on the other-hand will pretty much believe all manner of things in this paper, which…

You give comics a bad name! But seriously, when I was young an naive, I remember reading the Sun (fortunately never believing a word it said about -anything- ever, but still), and they had game 'reviews' that were essentially two-page adverts for how incredibly awesome this game will be. The only review I read that…

Most of those read like pre-written announcements, rather than anything from someone with an opinion.

It's an interesting name. I wonder if it's to confuse parents when they go into a shop, and their child goes ''I want that one.'' unknowingly asking for a console by name.

It looks like a concept design for what a scanner might look like in the future more than a console, not helped by that circular back-end looking like a hinge for the top half. The green light doesn't help, as I'm imagining it running the entire front with that mechanical whirring noise printers make.

My main reason for this possibly all being set after the previous games stems form this younger Batman having new gadgets. I know it's commonplace for this to be the case, but usually only in a reboot, or else because the game works more as a game released for the sake of it. Okay, it's a thin reason to believe it's a…

If Kevin Conroy's in it, then a question to ask is: Are we playing as Bruce Wayne, or a new Batman? I know it's an origin story, but is it his? This isn't a truly serious question, but just feels like the kind of thing a writer might do, especially with the voice work hints.

I don't own a Wii U, but if I did, I'd be worried about EA not supporting it. Just as they did with the Dreamcast, I can picture EA not supporting the console as being a very bad thing for Nintendo. Especially if other developers follow suit. Come the end of the year, we'll still see games for the PS3 and 360, and…

Indeed, the engines in GT sound awful, and I agree with you about the sheer number of some cars. I like a lot of them, but sometimes it's just annoying to see a race list involving the same car at different periods of time. Turbo races are probably the worst as they usually get auto-filled with Skylines or EVO's, and…

I remember a fair few years back Honda refused to allow damage to their cars, and so weren't in TOCA World Touring Cars, and I think for a while, Porsche had a similar limitation (I could be wrong on that, but it rings a bell).

As much as I would love to play Forza, my 360 died a few years ago in the great plague of RROD, and Microsoft/the developers can't be bothered to release the series on the PC. bought a second PS3 as I'd literally just gotten a breand new game the same week it died on me, and the newest slim one was on sale. With the…

The way I see it, if someone buys their car, they probably don't care much about what people do with it, provided they enjoy the thing and aren't just going to destroy it. Taking a Nissan and using another manufacturers engine is granting them a sale, and it'll be that car you're driving when people are wowed by its…

It's not just the aesthetics and cumbersome nature of the menus that gets me, but the terrible music they insist on using for them. I don't quite get why they're able to pick (admittedly constantly worsening) licensed music, yet fill their menus with stuff not out of place in games -before- GT1 was released. But yeah,…

I think, going by the trailer, that at least some of the cars from the last game that were standard are now premium (such as the Audi Quattro Rally car), and I'd imagine that the 200 or some from the last game that already were, wouldn't need much done to them, so a lot of time can be spent updating the older models…

Any time I see him, I just think of Small Soldiers and 'heh, my password's Gizmo'. Also, he was on Never Mind the Buzzcocks once, because he was making Todd Margeret, and they gave him some 'useful' trivia about the UK, which he delivered with aplomb. He was literally handed factoid cards at the start of the show, and…

From what I could tell of the costumes, they were more or less used as a description of their personality. Clover was young and bubbly. A little scatty, but mostly innocent. Alice was old before her time, and very exotic (her skin tone is much darker than any other character, too). The guys all have equally useful…

Indeed, that's why I posed the question the way I did. It seems to me you're running a great risk not having any input in your finances, and if societally you're predisposed to relying on others in such a way, if something does go wrong, it can be catastrophic. Of course for many it might never be any issue (I'm not…
