'Best Military Shooter' - what a redundant category. Next they'll have 'Best Game Featuring Citizens Of The Czech Republic'.

Call this blaspheme, but I could certainly live without EOT. The 'core needs to smarten up, that's for sure.

'Best' bit is when Nemesis has a fist fight with Alice. OH FUCKING DEAR.

Nothing could save the Resident Evil film(s) from being completely atrocious. The point with Silent Hill is that no-one makes more disturbing music that fits perfectly with the Silent Hill universe than Yamaoka - he's been with the series since the start. As for the visual side, I'm putting faith in Gans to deliver something true, seeining as how he seems to be a big fan of the games. Oh, and frankly, I think Manson is utter tripe, both musically and artistically.

It's a game. None of it makes sense. Fiction can still make sense. I forgot all about the color correction, looks really awesome and are good for setting moods- although that is the job of the mapper... isn't it? My fav one Of course it can, but I tend to disassociate surface graphical effects from what should fit into the World War 2 historical canon.

I adored Striker, especially the indoor match option. Sensible Soccer is one hell of a game, very simple with beautiful feel, but it just won't unsurp Pro Evo 5 for me.

Sure are. Check the Valve Wiki thing.

It's all optional though, so it doesn't matter at all if you don't like it. Just turn that component off.

Now I don't know about you, but after HDR, I didn't expect the next 'big things' in engine capability - namely Depth of Field and Motion Blur - to enter the mainstream so soon. Valve have been beavering away in the background it seems, a logical solution to the 'broken promises' that frequently plague them. Obviously this could all be construed as a bit much when you need the speed and untarnished vision to do well on the multiplayer battlefield, but for the casual gamer, for machinima, and for future single-player work (Aftermath, for instance, and hopefully for our mods too) this is manna from heaven. I just hope performance-wise having at least a few of these activated will be viable.

... No.

Stick Pyramid Head in and have him spear the annoying characters. Then you can't go wrong.

All the games rock. And the film uses the same composer as the games, who is one talented, brilliant motherfucker. So I've got high hopes that this could be the first somewhat decent game adaptation.

Thing is, the effects and action will naturally look sweet. Which they do. But direction holds a film together at the seams. With Ratner onboard, it may well fall apart.

Nah, PS2 'exclusive' I'm afraid. You're really not missing much.

If it's anything like Killzone 1... zzz.

True. Sadly, Free Radical and Rare are diluted forms; their output just doesn't come close to the brilliance of their combined golden days.

I'll be heading home, building my new PC, working on some essays due early January, enjoying Christmas with the family and celebrating New Year's with friends.

Yeah. It was taken wholesale from Spaced series 2 episode 5.

Yeah, I meant the little square lights!

Just delete it anyway.

I thought you might have created this area. Those lights just remind me of Eclipse. Good work all round.

Yeah. Perch the church on a hill like in RE4 - so you have to work your way up to it past graves and burning torches.

Gonna say! Sorry to hear that klein.
