Re: Whatcha Been Listening To?

I've been listening to the new How To Destroy Angels EP over the last few days. In case anyone doesn't know, HTDA is a band Trent Reznor started with his wife, and Atticus Ross. Their first self-titled EP was absolutely amazing, one of the best things I'd heard for ages, and I was really excited abo...

I've not been in the slightest bit tempted by a Vita up until now, but now it's being included in the PS+ freebies I'm pretty close to beginning to think about it...

Re: Game Suggestions for the Podcast

I loved both the games but I definitely wouldn't recommend playing them both back to back as they're literally the same game. They literally aren't. Gah, I get really annoyed when people use the word literally as a substitute for 'almost' and then went and did it myself. >_< Good call. Haha.

Final Fantasy I - XVI

I know that Cane & Rinse never have, and probably never will do a podcast on Final Fantasy VII, but does anyone know of any similar discussion / video documentary on the game? It's one of my favourites of all time, and I've recently been playing through it again for the first time in at least te...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Just started the new Hitman. It's cool. I only ever played Hitman 2 from the series before, and obviously this is a lot more polished. Only just started, literally only played the first mission. Four times. :lol: There's such scope to play how you want I've been messing around trying different stuff...

Re: Game Suggestions for the Podcast

Did you ever play the horror themed download story? Don't think it was DLC, just a standalone thing. It looked good but I never got round to buying it.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned them yet, but the Infamous series would be good I think.

Re: Mirror's Edge

Yeah if they did make a sequel I'd prefer no gunplay whatsoever. It was the weakest part of the first game, and there are quite literally thousands of shooters already out and more being released every day. I'd just want them to work on even more fluid free running - maybe leave out the red objects,...

Re: The Walking Dead

I'm looking forward to the retail boxed copy before playing this. I played episode 1 on my iPhone and loved it but I quit about an hour in because I felt it deserved the big TV treatment lol. I'll grab it on PS3 or 360 when it's out.

Re: DIZZY Returns

I love Dizzy. I still play the old games, but if they're making a new one I'd much rather proper oldskool 8-bit games. After playing them all on the Amstrad (the greatest home computer ever...) even the Amiga versions seemed too bright and smooth. The iPhone remake of Prince Of The Yolk Folk was a d...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Damn, I never bother exploring multiplayer. I don't know why, just don't get time for much gaming as it is and I think I feel the need to be always pushing a story along, as such miss out on potentially a lot of fun online stuff. I deleted the game from my hard drive as soon as I'd finished the SP c...

This is the only place I've ever heard anyone else say they preferred the second game! Not sure I'll bother with Crysis 3 when it's out but I can't wait for Far Cry 3.

Re: Rocksteady's Batman games

Did anyone buy the Catwoman DLC? It came bundled with my copy of the game. I have to say, if I HAD paid £7.99 for it (as it was on the PS store) I'd have been mighty pissed off. I didn't really enjoy playing as the Cat but even so, it was barely an hour of content.
