BB know what works for them though - and they are focusing more on the corporate market. We switched approx 20 users here from BB phones to Android ones and they simply don't compare as a business phone. In fact, some of these users are buying their own handsets to switch from their HTCs. D.

Nice one! :) D.

Well, my $100 got PayPal'd off yesterday - and along with the 61,289 other backers - we managed to get over $2.9million together for the development of Wasteland 2. Not bad when the initial target was originally $900k! At the earliest, release date is penned for October 2013 - but realistically...

^^^ - great post, Andy! Do you think the balance for artwork and the 'estimation' of the typical gamer started to shift with the likes of the PS1? I say that as an example as I remember many of my PS1 games having very impressive (for the time) - pre-rendered intro videos and sequences that...

One of the guys on another forum I'm on, uses that a LOT. He's superb with it. Lost a lot of points against him one-on-one! Because it's as close to COD as BF can be - and they need to attract the dregs across somehow. For the record, I never go on Metro. Just pointless and boring for me. D.

Superb - excellent write-up there! Would love to do that myself - even the few track-days I've done are enough to get me addicted! :) D.

Unfortunately, I predict you'll be 99.9% correct there. Made worse by the fact that a lot of consolers will have cut their teeth on Crysis 2 and not had the chance to play the original in all its glory. The benchmark for them has been set at Crysis 2 +1 - so if it repeats what they've already...

Definitely. You need three monitors for 5760x1200 resolution. For no other reason than because you can. :) D.

They were all in the car-park at the gym/Village hotel this morning in Bury. There were approx another half-dozen or so not seen in that pic too. They must blitz an area and then move on - though that Astra that's reversed in looks like its camera mast is fecked?? D.

...loads of the feckers parked up this morning. The camera mounts probably worth as much as the car underneath. D.

Starting an HND - would you not automatically qualify for educational pricing? Failing that, speak very nicely to someone whose work is covered by the Microsoft HUP (home use program) and they will be able to download it for you for £8.95...

Depends which way they go. Ignore it's beauty (which no doubt it will have by the bucketload) - and see what type of game they produce. A Crysis 2 'follow-up' will sell loads and be MUCH easier to produce cross-platform. Stay true to the original game and us PC lot will be in our element. But...

Sounds like COD.... ;) D.

Aw m8 - I feel your pain. I had EXACTLY the same thing with a passenger in my Punto GT - less than one week into ownership of it too. The wind caught the door and thankfully there wasn't another car at the side or else it would have given it a proper wallop. Instead, it went right back on its...

Bad news all round. :( Car smashed and the driver will have the national debt of the USA in terms of insurance premium, next. :( D.

Cracked Level 32 for my character earlier. Managed to unlock the pink tutu - flol. D.

DRL are shite - end of. Even on cars that are supposed to have them from the get-go. Look like some hideous Xmas tree accessory that the owner has stuck onto their car. D.

Very subtle and worthwhile change. Can't stand a lot of the OEM pipes on cars - the 182 was crap and looked SO much better with an aftermarket setup. The worst however in recent history was the 1st Bini Cooper S. I've seen drinking straws that are fatter than those. :dead: D.

It does. But you have a super-whooshy sliding scale thingy for it now. :) D.

Feck! Downloaded the DX11 patch and the DX11 Tessellation Pack earlier. What a difference! I FRAP's quite a bit earlier - such a shame that the screenshot below doesn't really show how damn good the surface textures are now.. D.

Aye - Swedish weren't they, iirc? D.

Think I'll give that go - see what its like :) D.

Nobody mentioned The Longest Journey yet? Genuine classic. D.

Edit - reminds me a LOT of the 'ol Metal Slug games.... :) D.

Excellent pics Riad - always love pictures with the gate-house backdrop in the very first pic. :) Was it busy? We drove straight past there on the way to Birchdown on Monday - no queues or anything. Would have popped in on the way back, but at £21 on-the-gate pricing - that was a tad much for...

Yep and yep to both. If you want a bit more RPG'y feel to it - get either Mass Effect 2 or 3 as well. D.

:dead::cry: D.

It is. Reminds me so much of a modern-day revamp of the old arcade-style sideways scrolling shootahs. D.

Yes. The 182 was dropped off at Birchdown yesterday and I've thought about it a few times today. Even though it's being looked after - you still hope that it's ok! As I've said before, if either the 182 or the Evo had to go - the Evo would be up for sale first. It's a great car - but I don't...

Superb game that. My favourites on the Lynx were Blue Lightning and Xybots :) D.
