I remember clamouring for a spiritual successor, or indeed a proper sequel to Theme Hospital for years. This isn’t what I was after but it’s very close on, and will definitely get my attention when it’s released if only for a quick look to see if it can capture that crazy chaos. It does need an injection of humour…

This guy got action with a boatrace like that? Sheeeit, I’m definitely in the wrong game.

Damn but that guy must get laid within an inch of his life pretty much every day.

There are two huge factors fuelling this argument. Author “Dog in the manger” attitude to anyone breaking into their precious industry (and in a lot of cases, we’re talking about authors who are just as guilty of ‘book churn’ as celebrities are) and this bizarre imagined notion of what constitutes a “Better” book…

You guys are lucky. You just get shoes. Over here in the UK it’s just bottle after bottle of piss (which, given the frequency of service stops on UK motorways leads to another question...”Do drivers just piss in bottles because they LIKE it?”)

Surely to be the living definition of neckbeard you’ve actually got to have a neck in the first place, no?

Ahh I was so in love with Shirley Manson. Possibly because of her comment on finding out the band had got the Bond Theme gig (for “The World Is Not Enough”) and described it as being “Better than anal sex”

Won’t damage your car but engine braking in preference to using your actual brakes and have your brake lights come on in any situation where you’re in traffic is nothin’ but a douche move - and yeah, will damage your car if someone crams right into the back of you.

Seriously agree with most of this (though getting rid of game boxes is HARD, so hard - particularly if you ever want to trade those things in later on). Best piece of advice I could give anyone is cupboards with doors for your games if you do keep those boxes, because it’s amazing how quick those damned spines…

Guy playing Borg freaks me out as I could’ve sworn it was Tom Hiddleston from the pic, till I read down the article a bit further. If ever they need to cast twins...

Looking forward to this. A lot of folk have said how dated it’s going to look nowadays with the increases in tech and far better facial capture stuff going on in modern games, but this is still one of the few games from that era where you can clearly recognise the actors involved if you ever see them in something…
