You start thinking this before or after seeing the above Japanese trailer? Because it's a no brainer for them to downplay the game's FPS angle and trump up the MGS angle. Funny how common it is for people to profess to not being 'blown' away by the pre-release stuff for this game. I may have...

Errr... Ok, so the 'climate' was completely different, but still. Ask any random person last Thursday whether they thought that the Police in the UK were prone to disproportionate violence, and I bet they would have pointed you to the above, or to Ian Tomlinson, or even something like the...

If more people end up buying Heineken, the terrorists have won.

Man. I never knew what poverty the other half lived in. Blackberry Messenger? Really makes you count your blessings.

I like how wikipedia says 'Delta Force was praised for emphasizing "gameplay over graphics" in its time'. The engine equivalent of saying 'she has a wonderful personality'. I'm actually surprised that Novalogic are still around, considering that they've traditionally relied on just about...

Isn't Outcast the only commercially significant game with a voxel-based engine? (Genuinely interested if there's another. I've never heard of one). Edit: of course, I could just wiki it myself. The answer being 'maybe Minecraft', since everything else listed there isn't really 'voxel-based'.

Hope it's not the Macross. The universe is better off without J-Pop. Not sure how many individual drawings are in that minute of animation. I suspect the answer is in double figures.

September 8th. In Japan. You'll have to work for the rest. You can also count on PC Gamer to be somewhat biased towards any title that keeps their publication relevant. Games from Bioware / Valve are that bit more likely to have a bit of symbiotic goodwill attached to them, and a Deus Ex...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Collector's Edition essentially just the Augmented Edition with the Adam Jensen Square Enix model and a fancy box? I'd probably just save my pennies and get the figure at a later date. Doesn't look like there's any saving to be made from buying them as a...

They're illustrative of the final product. You can bet your bottom dollar you'll get these in Blue: action figure companies adore anything that can be legitimately recoloured.

How are you with FPS games from before the turn of the millennium? If you find Half-Life hard to get into, there's really no shame in skipping forward to Half-Life 2. The first game was an absolute revelation on release, but it tends to dwell on certain scenes and ways of doing things for far...

Because nobody is making these short films for the love of it, as you kind of answer for yourself in your last sentence. They're making them to gain some easy recognition by using the momentum that an existing fanbase gets them. Reusing ready-made assets is both a way of cutting corners, and of...

You played Crysis 2 right? I'd rent that as well. I was surprised I could even be disappointed at it, but it looks pretty enough. Deus Ex: Human Revolution is the only thing FPS-wise I'm looking out for, and no, it won't be necessary to play the first two games.

What, seriously? Are you twelve?

This stuff is still impressive, but I don't quite get why people are saying it's better than any of the others. The CGI is pretty duff (the view out the window at the beginning here has awful perspective) and the 'plot' is no better or worse than what we've seen before (all that constantly...

Hey, you guys are forgetting psuedo-science. Deploying Minovski Particles /runs

I'd Birthday that for a dollar!

Oh yeah, I forgot about that... thing. Sssh... You're undermining that point I don't quite have.

2000, Syd Mead.

Even if the artwork was halfway believable as a professional attempt, why would half of those things even need concepting?
