Hearing some young townswoman produce the same voice as the old beggar crone in the next town was always entertaining, though. The speech minigame was a classic, wasn't it?

All this new scaremongering about an alleged 'zombie threat' is just an attempt to draw attention away from the abject failure of the War on Lycanthropy and the invasion of Transylvania.

Mass Effect (another 5 days, I think it is) Sam & Max Season 3 Aliens RPG Alpha Protocol The Witcher Special Edition NWN2: Purgatorio NWN2: Mysteries of Westgate Secret Files 2 Runaway 3 Gray Matter (still!) A Vampyre Story Still Life 2 Rise of the Argonauts The Sims 3 Dragon Age Fallout 3 And probably more...

I'm sticking with Erfworld over next to OOTS, but they come out at a snail's pace now. It would be better if I just forgot about it for six months then went back.

Very nice pictures. The garden looks gorgeous and the interiors look better than the first lot of screenshots we saw. I think the guy in the black suit looks a bit too relaxed for someone with a gun at his head, but perhaps it works better with animation. Motion capture that I've seen so far in several games is not very good at capturing the tension of highly stressful situations - it can all be a bit floppy sometimes.

Birds are overrated. It's a lot of effort for a great deal of bone and feather and not very much meat.

Is he down yet? What's to eat in a tree anyways?

I've also just finished Culpa Innata now, and I enjoyed it immensely. The story was excellent, the dialogue pretty good, the voice-acting wasn't consistently good or bad and nowhere near as bad as I'd feared from what I'd read - I've heard far worse in games. The puzzles were fine, too - they require concentration but are not too difficult to solve. The story did have one awful moment when I thought we were headed down towards a Fahrenheit-style collapse in quality, but fortunately the writers pulled back from the brink (was this even a parody of Fahrenheit, perhaps?) and the quality returned. The World Union and the Rogue States are a fascinating setting, and I think a sequel sounds like a very good idea.

Signed.

I've just started Culpa Innata, and I agree that so far it seems pretty good. I don't like the movement system, but the concept looks promising.

Thread pruned. This is a great series of threads, perhaps our oldest and most popular. Please don't spam it or fill it with insults.

We're getting a new security 'feature' to add to our existing safe rooms (the downstair toilet) - a lockable iron grill at the foot of the stairs. I think I can survive on the first floor for a week or so until the water runs out. I'd like to think the British Consulate would have sent a helicopter by then, since I spent flippin' ages registering on their stupid website.

I find them pretty revolting too. I believe that when you buy a game for download, you should be entitled to as many re-downloads as you need without restriction. Alas, I don't think I can wait for it to appear in the shops 2-3 months after release.

I'll be downloading it from EA Store as soon as it's released.

Certainly no-one in his PR department seems able to tell him to shut up.

I don't know what he looked like, because I only have radio access here, but the song was just dire.

I'm afraid the Danish entry is pretty dire. The Swedish one was better, but hardly one of the great memorable Eurovision songs if it does win.

You can't save whenever you want. If you're going to do that on the PC, your game has got to be really really stable, and this isn't.

Very photogenic. Is there one that mixes in McCain as well?

I heard Soderberg interviewed on the radio last night, and she sounded thrilled that she'd seen something so amazing. Congratulations to her team on their luck.

Indeed. Plus I notice that Sweden is favourite to win this year, which must also surely be classed as the galactic order of things.

I've purchased and downloaded it. I have a week's holiday starting a week from now, and that's first on my playlist.

Need help finding mods? No, I need help installing the DLC I paid for but which won't install under Vista because Bethesda can't be bothered to update its stuff. Yes, I am still bitter. And yes, I do realise it's not your fault (sorry). I am however rather worried now, because I would like to like Fallout 3 and I'm scared I'm going to be mouthing 'Die Bethesda Scum' over and over again as it installs (under Vista, presumably).

He's usually entertaining but his tastes are so different to mine, he's not really of much use to me as a reviewer.
