It's possible, but I think they'll just keep supplying their own levels. It would be good to see some IP sharing, like some other iPhone games have done - a Rolando themed level would be good View

It is incredibly useful - thanks to the awesome D McFerran for his Japan-infiltrating madskills. View

This had better come to Germany! View

The first condemned game Condemned Criminal Origins got me sweating, especially the abandoned subway section. View

Not a bad read but I reckon an article about games that haven't aged visually a single day since release would be a better idea.

For example The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Certainly not the best Zelda game but it's hard to imagine how it could be made to look better than it does, the engine is so perfectly attune to the game's art direction.

Resident Evil 4 is another one, oh and Soul Calibre on the Dreamcast. I'd have said Shadow of the Colossus but though it looks amazing, I'd love an HD version on PSN with improved textures and framerate. View

The Wii was released this generation, so it is a current generation machine, it's that simple. Since when was graphical horsepower the only criteria for inclusion in the hallowed next-gen. View

It has to be the final boss from the first GameCube Metroid Prime game, surely! View

Trip isn't always right... I remember the 3DO, and I'm sure Trip does, too. Also he launched EA originally as being a champion of developers! Oops.

On the other hand he is a pretty provocative guy, and at least he's prepared to think original thoughts. View

Where's the 4D! View

This is better than locoroco, there I said it.

Also, the soundtrack by Mr Scruff is brilliant. There's a great review of the game here:

Metal Gear Solid trilogy on Xbox 360 is my guess. Re skinned versions of 1, 2 and 3 with the Guns Of The Patriots engine would be ace, and probably quite doable (all have far fewer cut scenes than GOTP).

That's probably just wishful thinking though, it could just as easy be something for the DSi or the iPhone (which would still be pretty cool). View

I'm saying that the Departed is an awesome movie and that in spite of the fact that it is not innovative, it is still an excellent film, because it is expertly crafted. The point is, craft should be as important as innovation and that seems to be forgotten when it comes to gaming sometimes. Read the article and all will become clear. View

@ JokerSGS - from dictionary.com:

"casualty - one who is injured or killed in an accident"

Perhaps you should check for yourself and while you're there, look up pwnd too. View

Jesus christ, now there's a headline you don't read everyday. Talk about life imitating art imitating life... View

Yeah my bad, Konami just sent this to us last week but I didn't realise it had been around since July, strange... View

I've been using this for nearly a year now and it really is seamless. The only issue I have encountered is that movies have to be in .mov or mp4 format before they stream but you can get iSquint for free and it does the conversion job quick and painlessly. A great app and well worth it for mac owners. View

I reckon this is a new enemy that we haven't seen before, perhaps the forerunners are a nasty bunch? View

If I had a ps3, I'd be all over this like a rash, guess I'll have to wait till christmas. View

Couldn't agree more. This is a ridiculous witch hunt by a bunch of self aggrandising amateurs posing as 'holier than thou' games journalists.

It seems that the thing that many people here seems to have trouble differentiating between is a story posted as rumour and a story posted as fact.

If a site like Kotaku (or any of the other sites that also ran the story but are conspicuously being left out of this debate) posts a story as rumour, they are not obliged to back it up with sources. If they post a story as fact without checking their sources, that's a different story, but that is not what happened here.

I don't know how much more clearly I can put it, but I'm sure that some idiots pretending to be games journalists will still find reason to find fault with my argument. I am a games journalist and I could name ten stories off the top of my head from various big news sites that have been posted as rumours over the past month, that turned out not to be true. Where are the articles damning them and claiming they are not 'proper' journalists?

This whole farce has served only two purposes; it's given the people at CAG (and apparently Giant Realm too) a conceited reason to behave like a bunch of smug self-congratulating adolescents, and it has given forum trolls everywhere the opportunity to jump on the moral high ground and make ill informed sermons about investigative journalism (many of which are now claiming they themselves are journalists).

The whole thing stinks to high heaven! View

How many people on this thread are actually journalists?

Read Kotaku's original post, at no point did they ever claim the story as fact, Crecente referred to it as a rumour and also questioned whether it was true. So the question is, what has Kotaku (and those other sites) done wrong?

Answer: nothing and CAG and co's reaction to this farce would have been the same no matter how the story was carried. All they needed was for the story to be taken up by a blog in the first place so they could point and laugh. They knew they would have the full force of an army of feeble minded fan boys thoroughly behind them even if the sites they were targeting did report the piece as a rumour.

Sites report on rumours all the time, and often, those rumours turn out to be false. The only difference here is that the rumour was concocted by people whose only agenda was self aggrandisement, it's almost embarrassing to watch such public self-congratulation and I can't believe the support they are getting for it. Actually I can, and it's sad... View
