For sure. I can't even remember the last time I didn't play a AA or indie game in favour of playing a AAA-game, let alone paying full-price for one. I found their thoughts on the market's rejection of the new £70 price-point publishers are pushing (perniciously!) interesting, it makes sense sales ar...

Interesting discussion on the current state of the gaming industry:

Pretty nice breakdown of what went on, including interviews with some of the actors and customers:

Yeah, I really liked the James Clavell novel and liked the 80s version, so looking forward to watching Shogun... I'm just waiting for a few more to be released as I hate having to wait a week between episodes!

Richard Lewis died as well

Domino-hoohoo.

+1!
