Because we had to have a thread about this, even if no one posts here any more.

Arguably the last of the 'classic style' games magazines on newsagents shelves is no more, or at least will be after the final issue is released. Hate to use a predictable cliche, but it feels like the end of an era.

Cheers.

Does anyone have any thoughts on Bioshock? It's supposed to be an all-time classic, but having got around halfway through, I'm just not seeing it. The world it creates is brilliantly realised, the retro styling works well and the storyline is developing nicely. But as a game to be played, it's like ramming your head against a brick wall until it falls over and lets you progress to the next brick wall. Your minuscule health, very limited ammo and extremely mobile enemies mean you spend a lot of time dying, respawning a room or two back then returning to where you died and taking a little bit more health from the foes (who don't heal when you die) before you're killed again. I'm persevering, but I seem to spend more time shouting at the game than enjoying it.

So the RIAA feel that piracy has cost more than the world's entire GDP at $72 trillion. The world's entire GDP is apparently about $50-60 trillion.

Very creative mathmeticians those RIAA chaps, eh?

Yo, Stu.

Are there any plans to put Cannon Fodder on the various app stores?

And, if not, could you have a word with your Sensible chums? It's crying out for a port, surely?

MCV has learnt that senior members of the GAME management teams have been told to brace for the possibility of administration.

Senior staff were told at a meeting with CEO Ian Shepherd earlier this week that the chain has approximately two weeks to turn its fortunes around.

Sad that it's coming to this, though inevitable. The fire-sale is a good short-term tactic, but arguably they wouldn't have needed to go that far if their prices were reasonable in the first place.

And sad/ironic that it's coming up just as the Channel Islands VAT loophole that has done so much to hinder the high-street is being closed in only three weeks. Not that it's a good thing in itself, given that there is some inevitability of price-rises from the online shops now as well.

(And WOSland seems to be down, unrelatedly.)

What is wrong with time rewinding?
