Realistic physics in games will never catch on. Lara Croft would keep falling over forwards.

One more data point, just for fun: http://store.steampowered.c...

According to Valve, less than half of the PCs in their survey were even at 4 cores. 8 cores is almost invisible on the graph.

Oh, QED. It's looking like four-core phones were a fad: http://hardware.slashdot.or...

Smartphones are PCs now? I really *am* behind the curve, silly me.

The article claims "The average PC gamer is running 8-cores". What CPU are they talking about? The i7-Core (pretty much top of Intel's line until Ivy Bridge comes out in a couple months) only has 4 real cores, and can 'fake' 8 with Hyperthreading. And that's on the pricey side.

A gaming PC with all the hardware the article talks about would cost well over US$2K. Even with volume and economies of scale... Sony and Microsoft would be losing hundreds o...

Lots weren't, sure. Many were very good. See, for example, these: http://www.suckerpunch.com/...

Yes, people are still putting up new missions. And by now, it tends to be the people who know how to make them.

Look for missions with ratings of 3 or above, ~20 plays, and >=4 recommendations. Those tend to be worthwhile. Don't forget Sturgeon's Law: "90% of everything is crap."

You may have a point. But actually, the last word in your comment kinda proves *her* point, too.

Shouldn't be hard to test, no? Set up a 'girly' profile, and see how you get treated.

Relatively wide spread in scores for this game. I think N4G should present not just the average score for a game, but the standard deviation or other measure of the spread of scores.

(What I'd *really* like is a graph of the spread, but that's probably asking too much.)

@caboose32 - I agree that letting the full Steam store onto the PS3 would be... er... counterproductive from Sony's point of view.

However, the "Steam Box" concept - *if* it's real at all - would almost certainly be a hardware *specification* rather than an actual lump of hardware, like Intel's "ultrabook" standard.

And then, *if* the PS4 actually is mostly-PC-hardware, then it could, in theory, be "Steam Box Certified&quo...

It could be DOOM. The 'eaten buildings' and such look like a 'hellish incursion', given the right color scheme and textures (which we haven't seen, mostly).

If they make it more action-oriented, than survival-horror, it could work as a DOOM update.

I couldn't get used to the Move controls for I2. I think maybe if I'd *started* with them, but by the time FoB came out with Move support, my reflexes were too hardwired for the Dualshock.

Not a life-changer, but enjoyable.

I dunno. This looks like something my (older) kids and I might enjoy playing together. The gore factor's something to think about.

Gotta say, I didn't find combat as frustrating as he did. The teleporting enemies can be difficult, but a little sense and planning keeps them manageable.

Dude, the whole competition thing is so two and a half years ago. Why so insecure?

I even managed to finish Festival of Blood's story sucking less than ten civilians. And eight of them were mistakes, hitting the wrong button too close to a passerby.

The article isn't about the songs themselves. It's the way they are handled in the game. And he actually has a point.
