Everyone's aware of it, I think. Yeah, it is a bad vibe and it brings the board down, but what can you do. Pricks will be pricks, so just get on with you and ignore them.

Blame the agriculture subsidies. Deep down, everyone in Britain wants to drive a plough.

@pc_rocks: That's true. I suppose Ascendent's a reminder that it takes much more than a couple of old hands to recapture what made a franchise great in the first place.

@djoffer: Yeah, they'd been scaling back expectations for a while I think, but I was also quietly hopeful.

This is just a guess, but I think Deus Ex was probably so good because Mr. Spector managed to pick up a lot of the highly "focused" ex-hires from Looking Glass's collapse. Maybe if he can source that ...

I've got a lot of old games and systems I've got no practical way of playing anymore. Discs scratch and rot, cartridges break, output standards change. I did not want to move to Steam, but as far as I...

It's a tough one, isn't it. Maybe PC hardware boards would have some good ideas?

Sheesh... just save up and get a PC already guys.Just kidding, those are some impressive sales.

That's one busy titling department!

I never did that thing where you stage jam jar insect fights as a kid, so there's a part of me that's really interested to find out what would happen. :D

Battalion 1944 actually looks pretty good, mechanically speaking. I wasn't expecting that.

Sucks for those who would use it. For the record, I've never once played Civ multiplayer, since Civ III came out 17 years ago. I don't think I'd miss it.

Lumines and N+ were good time killers.
