Uh because not everyone has a PC that is actually that great? Many people don't even have more than a basic laptop nowadays, preferring a console for their gaming needs. Of course you already knew this, you baiting bastard.

You have to admire that despite being a gaming blog, Kotaku somehow managed to not point out the obvious similarities to Deus Ex: Human Revolution that probably 90% of us reading this post immediately thought of, let alone make some kind of witty comment about it.

I think sometimes Kotaku's authors forget they're part of a much blog network that does this kind of news a lot better than them. And it's actually relevant on those sites.

Yeah, this is just weird. I could (just about) understand the whole 'Asian culture' slant to some of the non-gaming posts, but stuff like this really doesn't qualify — this could just as easily have come from any number of countries' students.

He couldn't have handled that worse. I was expecting him to pose as a buyer and get the thief's PayPal details or something, potentially leading to finding more personally identifying data. Instead he just reveals his (empty) hand and frightens him off — accomplishing nothing but a ban on a forum nobody cares about.

Wait, what? Parallel dimension in Uncharted 2?

Don't think greed is a significant factor here. GAME is (or was) the UK's biggest gaming chain but has pretty much sunk this year and been forced to shed most of its shops — apparently including its AUS counterparts.

What's with all the non-gaming posts appearing on Kotaku recently? It feels like I'm starting to read the same kind of stuff here that I read on Engadget, Gizmodo, etc.

Only people who deserve any kind of blame are the media. It's they who took a few not-exactly-serious tweets and turned it into a massive frenzy of excitement.

@excaliburps: The PC version is essentially a HD version as it'll run in HD resolutions and has higher-res textures than the console version. Might be worth looking into if you really want to play what is one of the finest games of last decade.
