I was left with Bahrian n Qatar last. Yeah, they were a bugger

Ubisoft do it too. As for Crysis, we get that for £30, same with Dragon Age II.(On Steam at least) It is ridiculous. There's no effing reason to do it. They tie up the games with DRM, they make shitty ports, and now they're jacking up the price and acting all surprised when we fucking complain and don't buy their games. For any console playing readers out there I should point out that normally the upper limit of PC games is £30(or $50 in the states, which I'll get to later). Whereas on console it's usually £40/$60. That extra £10/$10 increase is from the licensing that pays to MS,Sony n Nintendo. Now no one owns PC, there's no license required to develop games for it. Meaning that extra £10/$10 they jack onto the price of PC games is completely arbitrary. Just pure greed. As for the $50 thing, we sometimes get games over here at £35. Which at first we treat as them trying to slowly jack up the price without us apparently noticing. (which it probably still is) but now knowing US PC prices are $50, I'd say it's more to keep things on par. As for our PC games been cheaper most of the time, Europe is a lot more PC gamer friendly. So I'd take a guess that at lower prices they recoup their costs much easier. Also most PC companies are local to Europe, so distribution is much easier. Though you'd thing knocking prices down to like $45/$40 to match EU prices would make more sense to encourage folks to pick up PC games in US. Though I guess that might be too much of a gap under the more profitable console version. Anyway if the games go for £40/$60 on PC I'd skip them or wait till they're on sale. Message with wallets and such. Or maybe heavily pirate it, since they pay more attention to pirated copies than their sales.

woops. My OP even state it's going multi-plat. Hmm. I guess Diablo I was multi-plat too. I'll move it.

He won a t-shirt. Kotaku have always sucked for competitions. I remember the shit they got for the Zelda competition because the guy that won hadn't followed the rules. Many folks were up in arms because the rules were really fiddly so they only got like 12 entrants. Then this guy just stuck on some cos-play (impressive, but not what was asked) then stood with a kotaku sign. And loads of folks were like "well if we knew that could of won we'd of entered, but the rules clearly state it's not what was asked". So yeah, double pissed cos someone who hadn't followed the rules had won, and that apparently the rules were pretty lax so they could of even entered. Or the Burtal Legend "do your best Eddie Impression" thing. One guy got it down to a tee. Then they did the winners by random. So you could of just taken a photo of yourself and be in for a chance to win. Or the Uncharted 2 Legendary Edition, only like 10 copies made. Dude who won it at their exclusive Childs Play auction that you have to visit in person, meaning you'd have to live near Denver? Sold it on Ebay for few hundred dollars (which all the commenters had pointed out they'd raise shit loads more if they did it that way, but once again, that'd mean Shipping. Hosting it in Denver means Brain just has to drive to club.) Or make a Starcraft/kotaku sandcastle. Meaning it's open to East n West coast only. They try to make them a bit different, but they fail so badly at even simple competitions that they shouldn't really try. Pretty much folks should just enter. Don't pay attention to any clauses or such in the rules, the writers don't, and enter. then you're in for a chance, cos more than likely it'll be random, or the stupid rules will of forced only 3 people to join in so your chances are good even if you don't follow their made up rules. btw regarding international shipping the only time they've stipulated why they couldn't was the Zelda one because Nintendo America had donated the prize and stipulated it was NA only. They've never brought this up other times.

Nah, I just used an old trick to fuck about with the URL

err. It went up today. At least I'd imagine "02.17.2011" is today. They dumped up a bunch, few for Battle-net software engineers, WoW designer, SCII level designer, handful for the new MMO, and then this one for Senior Producer and one for Senior Designer on console Diablo III.

http://www.signature9.com/electrotech/gawker-networks-redesign-is-killing-traffic-to-all-but-two-sites Lifehacker and Fleshbot are the only sites without the massive decline. Fleshbot never adopted the new layout.

Well that throws a huge spanner in the works. They're on the Global Template, so it shouldn't matter. You'll have to wait on Tali for that one. There's a link on the thread either way.

It's not coming to Steam Blizz have their own DD. (At the very least theres a 99.99% it's not coming to Steam)

This answer your question? (Though it may be moved semi-soonish, in which case I'll update the thread on it)

Meh I got bored, just imagine I posted an image oh that box art, but photohshopped with tits, that Ico kid in the corner and Angry Kirby for a face.

I guess I'll just open this thread with news that it's looking to be a multi-platform title http://jobs.gamasutr...accountno=48212 Anyone got anything else to chat about this game?

Then EA will turn to DICE and go "Hey, we are a company that pays for your games, and ME didn't sell great. Fuck off"

http://www.destructoid.com/impressions-your-first-look-at-dead-island-194120.phtml D'toid have a pretty in-depth preview.

http://www.gamesindu...tendo-to-evolve THQ basically suggesting going for cheaper games, $29-$39, and subsidising it with a bunch of DLC. Apparently they're really pushing for Sony, MS n Nintendo to adopt this kind of model. They also have a sticking point with MS cos MS don't let publishers choose DLC price point, it's set "bands". And if someone pops out with a platform that lets them do this model easier, they'll say fuck you to the current big 3 unless they've adapted too

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-02-17-xperia-play-hands-on BTW should we change the thread title?

Beefy just pointed out on Facebook that it now has a Fave games section. Just go to your profile - Info - Arts and Entertainment, then edit that box.

too. Took would sound more like rough than roof. Though accent can change it a bit.

One roof, lots of Roofs

Crecente respond to emails? Pah! Unless he's telling you to fuck off elsewhere I don't think he knows how to respond to emails.
