The Wii Is A Virus

image

Ex-DICE boss Fredrik Liliegrin has labeled Nintendo Wii a "virus" - and said that the platform holder knows it is "not a video games machine".

If the Wii is a virus, then it’s a fucking pandemic.

Lara Croft has finally been given universal recognition in the form of a street in Derby.

I can finally sleep easily at night.

Steam UI Overhall

image

For the first time since it’s release, Steam has received a major overhaul in terms of it’s UI.

I’ve been using it since 2006 and it’s the first time It’s seen any major changes. Good old Valve Time, eh?

Anyway it’s nice! I like it. Clean, stylish and a lot easier to use.

Good job Valve.

Project Natal

Just me who really doesn’t care about this? Go on, shove your filthy palms in the air if you don’t care either.

… Wow… That’s a lot of hands. Maybe we should like, tell Microsoft or something…

Bioshock 2 DLC: RAGE!

image

Who’s ready for a good old fashioned DLC Rant?

So Bioshock 2 has been out for about a fortnight now, and already 2K are detailing the first pack of DLC. That’s fourteen days folks, and already the DLC’s on the way.

Now, normally I complain that DLC is a cheap excuse to add features to a game that the company couldn’t finish in time for release. This riles me up like nobodies business, but lately companies have been something even worse, and Bioshock 2 is a culprit of the crime.

They’ve been making the DLC during the development cycle, and leaving it out on purpose. Which I suppose is fair enough, but not when it’s a central part of the game itself. Take Assassin’s Creed 2 for example, in which two whole DNA sequences from the middle of the game have been left out in order to sell for £3 after the release date. Now, is it just me, or is that just wrong? Now look at Bioshock, which is giving you additional ranks for multiplayer and two new characters… and that’s it. That’s like leaving out two weapons on COD, as well as not letting you hit prestige 70 until you fork out another fiver.

Absolutely ridiculous.
