  1. as we ere talking about The Thing... The Guardian just did an excellent retrospective news to me but apparently it got rinsed by critics when it came out. Idiots.
  2. Good for him. Mature game content is sorely lacking, I find. and I do mean actual mature. Not a 13 year old's version of mature. (Hi, Clifford. How's things at Epic?)
  3. a fools errand if you haven't already got 100%. Insane mode switches off the item markers on your map.
  4. It's really good. I rate it with The Terminator and Alien et al.
  5. Shit casting. odd, considering the caliber of the other films' cast.
  6. I actually have a press pass to the Leeds show.
  7. They did that in Sheffield, too. Not that I went but..yeah. Went to my mate's to play some Catan tonight. Was pretty fun (if anyone plays it, one of my friend's finished with 2 points- literally the worst you can possibly do. lols) Kinda lost my mojo after though. I was initially up for a few drinks and a late chill but I really couldn't be arsed. I'm rapidly loosing interest in drinking atm and I ended up bailing pretty hard on the guys I was with. Really wasn't worth staying out though. In other news: Started a review for Shadow Complex. The site it's for is more on editorial content so I'm writing it as a look at Metroidvania as a genre too. Such good games....
  8. 100% get! Damn good game. Time for a speed run!
  9. more than confirmed: It's the entire premise. stuff like having Motion Trackers as handheld items instead of HUD features means players have to work together to track Alien attackers and defend themselves with wielded doors and so on. It sounds much more like the feel of Aliens than AVP which, by all accounts and previous entries in the series, will probably be an entertaining but old school, linear kind of game that's scary the first time you play but rapidly turns predictable. Personally, I'd like either game to head back to the first AVP game of having random placement for the Xenomorphs. That was shit scary.
  10. to be fair, Conquest has possibly been the best looking arc yet. Frankly, Ottley, Crabtree and FCO must be bending space/ time to produce art this good on such a tight schedule. It's phenomenal.
  11. Ah but there's the Co-Op element to CM. To me, that makes it tenfold more interesting. AVP is going to be a solo affair and, personally, that seems limiting
  12. That's a damn good book. One of my favourites, too. Check out A Widow For One Year. It's marvelous.
  13. Out on Wednesday. I'm looking forward to Atom Eve & Rex-splode, personally.
  14. I had trouble with a few items. Some of the speed smashes, in particular, were driving me loco.
  15. pgr has a nice take on handling: rather than being what racing a super car is actually like, it's what you think racing a super car might be like. It's like a car chase sim or something.
  16. changed the thread title as it's hardly an announcement now. game is looking alright. I'm not sure how scary you can make a linear game in a COD style, but I like the series so I hope it works out.
  17. I thought the violence in IB was great. It was horrific, yes, but it was very realistic (mostly) which is something I always...I don't think 'like' is the right word, but I'd rather be shocked by violence than bored by it.
  18. eurgh. Not even going to admit how dumb I was being when I was stuck. At least I taught myself a few tricks. I got seriously creative in trying to find new routes.
