I think internal gameplay estimates account for the time the 'typical' player spends reloading and dying (and perhaps, sitting through menu and load screens). At any rate, end users under-estimate most games by looking at the in-game clock which usually tells the story of how long it would have...

It's not like 'Steamplay' has meant simultaneous access to the PC and Mac versions up to now. With the Steam-like features that Valve are integrating into the PS3 version, it makes sense that they'll include similar restrictions on simultaneous use. One game, one account. At any rate, they have...

Because... Christmas day? In Progress: Knights of the Old Republic: Three hours in, forgot I was playing something with the semblance of a 'real' RPG. Hence, thinking I should start over, as letting the game do all the rolls for me means I have a pistol heavy scoundrel character in a...

The price difference between the two versions is going to be at least £10 at launch (I'd reckon they'll make this a limited time offer to counteract any sales differences). That's too much to pay for a redundant third version of the game I'll also never use, but if it creates more PC gamers...

As tempted as I am, my position isn't changed on this one. Whatever games get released between February and the oh so inevitable second version won't be worth all the flaws you buy into. The battery life sounds absolutely dire, but dire from the official source? (Battery life is always a 'best...

'On A Rail' and 'Surface Tension' have the highest amount of maps in the game, so no, there's nothing really that beats Surface tension for sheer scale. Most of the following chapters are 1-4 maps long, I think? However, The Lambda labs levels are quite non-linear and as people say, probably a...

Half-Life has always been more unsettling than outright fear inducing. The design work is phenomenal, the sound work too, and this goes for both games. But both games never really stack the odds against you enough for any 'horror' to result. The proliferation of saw blades in Ravenholm was a lot...

You know what I really don't want to see? That helicopter we were supposed to be taking better not ****ing crash. FPS helicopters have the worst god-damned safety records of helicopters in any medium.

Regenerating health sucks one mostly... it's not entirely unsuited to a game like Deus Ex where you have the option of either, the fiction supports it and the game is built around finding a place to lie low whilst the state of play changes. Otherwise, developers seem to think that by cutting out...

NOT FOR CHRISTMAS, YO. Interesting... How many arms and legs were at your Christmas dinner? Recieved: Tale As Old As Time: The Art And Making Of Beauty And The Beast (yay!) Professor Layton And Whatever The Third One Is Called (hooray pruffessar!) Gorillaz - G Sides (And thus I am a...

What's the frequency...? Also, that thank you thing everyone seems to be into.

UK: - Tea is not more expensive than coffee. It's always substantially cheaper. Usually about a third of the price? - Starbucks has a reputation for being as prolific as it is in the US. That's partly down to the influence of US pop culture (e.g. most comedies that mentioned Starbucks in the...

I have consumed on behalf of another. How many remain?

I'd complain about having to work for a bit of Christmas Eve, but then I think having a job right now is probably the best present I'm going to get. Unless I get the Princess and the Frog Blu Ray AND Artbook. CHRISTMAS IT IS HAVE A HAPPY CHRISTMAS PLEASE

Well, it isn't me... but it is. I'm not caving to peer pressure on this one. I'm waiting to see if some of the bigger name titles to come down. My Santee has a pretty cool list :) That said, I'll definitely have to do it by Thursday, since I won't have Internet access after that :P

The mainstream media did a pretty good job of making it seem like they were leaking a bitchy 14 year old girl's BBS though. The cables were barely a step away from calling Angela Merkel a tramp and suggesting that Chavez was secretly a predatory paedophile posing as a young schoolgirl from...

The sad thing is, the 'act' clearly worked if you're buying that. It may interest you to know that Samon Cowell is also not a major beneficiary of profits from Sony Music Entertainment. He has also never appeared on an animated cartoon show that jumped high enough over the shark to consider...

Not that I know of. If you can remember what you did: http://www.masseffectsaves.com/

If you think someone's taste isn't up to much, that's absolutely fine. But there are more diplomatic ways of getting that across.

Keith David doesn't sound British. He sounds sexy.
