I know nothing about guns, but this always struck me as being kind of bullshit. What would actually happen if you poured petrol on your bullets before firing them?

I'm really disappointed in this. I was hoping for a proper sequel to Sleeping Dogs. If I ever see any of these developers, I'm going to leap out of my car and into theirs, kick them out, jump out myself, grab them, then skewer them on a nearby upright swordfish. Then head off for a pork bun.

I shared my anger over this to Till recently. Sleeping Dogs was goddamn brilliant and deserves better.

Sleeping Dogs is truly the best open-world crime game with "Dogs" in the title.

The humor in the Borderlands games was very obviously written by a 14 year old boy on crack-cocaine, meth, and paint fumes.

I spent my evening downloading demos of 'indie games' on Xbox Live. I like to do that every few months. This time, literally every game I played was a terrible rip off of something. One game was a terrible rip off of 'Slender' where the thing chasing you turned out to be a bright green cartoon dragon (not quite as scary as they intended), another was a terrible rip off of 'Day Z' where all the zombies die in one hit so the element of challenge gives way to a strange godlike experience where you're just driving and wandering around slaying hundreds with the touch of death. Also a strange double-rip-off of Symphony of the Night and Mario Bros 2 of all things, which was mind-numbingly dull and also all the female characters had constantly animated boobs for no reason at all - just bouncing around at all times like they're in a breadmaker or something. The absolute winner was a terrible rip off of The Walking Dead, where the quicktime events are done using awful still images that look like someone drew them on Paint with a wonky mouse, which are interspersed with combat that is just you on a 2D plane pressing one of two buttons when a zombie gets near enough. You hit tall zombies with a high swipe of a meat cleaver and.... child zombies.... with a low swipe. Just hacking away at drawings of little children. Felt really uncomfortable. Worst indie game round up ever.

Got one from Black Flag: So I'm done with the main game and am now experimenting with the DLC "Freedom Cry" A bit simplistic (An actual slave revolt wherein they took to the seas as pirates would have been put down so mercilessly that we'd still be having memorials today..) but fun. However, it's a bit sensitive. You see, one of the weapons introduced is the Blunderbuss, and a "Plantation raid" is about freeing the slaves, not the sugar in the warehouse. You accomplish this by killing 20 guards. I had 2 guards left in front of the last slave room. I equipped my blunderbuss, fired, and was immediately desynchronized because "This ancestor did not kill domestic animals." Turns out a chicken was on the porch behind them. Oy vey!

Freedom Cry is almost as unrealistic as an ancient alien device that can control an entire village of people, that time Ezio broke into the Vatican and beat up the Pope, a tank in the 1500s and the fact the USA owes it's entire existence to one petulant Native American kid.
Something similar happened to me the first time I got the blunderbuss in Freedom Cry, though. I decided to crash a slave auction and attempt to rescue the slaves, but by levelling the blunderbuss at two of the slavers on the stage, when I fired, I managed to kill every single one of the slaves I was trying to free.

I played the demo of Slender: the Arrival today and I have to say I was underwhelmed. It was just me stumbling around a dark house and trying to find a flashlight for about 40 minutes, followed by me trying to find keys for about 10, followed by me walking through an empty forest in a random direction until I touched a piece of paper I had no idea I was looking for which meant it was over. The majority of my experience was just a completely black screen with my own frowning face looking back at me, while I tried to find the door I had come in by looking for the light. Also the text was so small and scribbly I couldn't read any of the little creepy notes I found.
Has anyone played it - am I missing something, judging it too harshly? I don't know whether the rest will be more fun. I feel like I could save the £10 by having my brother confiscate my glasses one night, take the fuse out of the box and just move my personal effects into unusual places.

It's not at all similar to Slender, and not even a horror game at all, but if you're buying something off XBLA, get Mark of the Ninja. It's the shit!

I also played the demo of 'Far Cry Blood Dragon' which commits the worst sin a comedian can commit by being waaaaaaaaaaaay less funny that it thinks it is. So that was a big blow out too.
I have no clue what Mark of the Ninja is but I will be trying it! Cheers. xD

Cheers. xD Blood Dragon's worth it for the fact you can shoot an enemy in the face, then give them the finger and have Michael Biehn smugly call them a dickshitter. That was definitely nice after how tryhard Far Cry 3 was at some points. Mark of the Ninja is an unofficial sequel to The Room where Mark finds himself in Feudal Japan, and resolving to atone for his affair with Lisa, learns the way of the Ninja, and goes to town on some Samurai.
