#1. The ps3 is an amazing machine. The only problems with it is that it is a tad expensive, and so far there aren't any must-have exclusives for it. Both can be remedied, perhaps they will, perhaps not. While I like the ps3 much more than I like the wii and the xbox360 I don't really care...
Developers have already conceded that the war is over and that pc-gaming "won". They don't use those exact words, because they are afraid to alienate customers, but when you admit that you have to nerf pc-users and/or boost console-users the case is closed.
I'm not going to pay USD 50 to try...
Cross platform is great for people that have both xbox and a gaming-pc, but I don't see how pc-users that do not have an xbox are going to want this unless their friends use xbox for online gaming.

Securom has been removed from SupCom in the latest patch (china, poland, +some more not included).

Can any of you european guys actually see the ads in the beta? I can't. Is it possible that Europe doesn't get them (as is the case in bf2142) or is it just me that does something wrong?

I work in construction and every job we do includes heights so we operate a wide variety of lifters, elevators, and winches. We have had a lot of not-so-competent people passing through our ranks, but the worst (and funniest) was a polish worker who was scared of heights. He lasted one day... :p...
SinE1 sold less than expected. In addition another project Ritual were working on got canned, which hampered cashflow. This lead to the aqusition of Ritual by Mumbo-Jumbo and the focus has been diverted from SinE to other projects (casual games).
According to former Ritual staff (now...
You don't need more than 3 buttons.
2 buttons + mousewheel + keys around wasd=more functions than will ever fit on an xbox360 controler.
The way they make sure the controler has all functions available is either by introducing toggle-keys or by limiting number of functions (for example, it...
Short answer:
You need to give the player using a controler advantages over the player using the mouse to have an even game.
Everybody knew that.
