To sum up. Digital copies are less valuable to consumers: we have fewer rights, we can't onsell them, we have to use bandwidth (that costs money) to get them, we have to buy hardware to store them (rather than them being on a disk), we don't get any packaging artwork or physical extras...

Are there any Mutant Enemies in these games? Grrr! Argh!

No, screw the publishers. Used games are supporting the industry because they give value to the people who purchase the freaking thing first. Now that I can't onsell it when I'm finished, it's worth less to me. In fact, it's worth less to me the second you make me enter stupid codes on XBOX...

Agree entirely. Portal 2 was good... but it wasn't great, like Portal 1. They didn't do anything useful with CJ; GLaDOS was toned down; Wheatley suddenly being "a moron" because the game decided to start calling him one was really clunky. And Yahtzee is right - the "squint around this...

Sounds like a lame ripoff of Psi-Ops.

Screw RDR. God Mexico is boring.

PS there's lots to criticise about the multiplayer, too. Particularly if you're in Australia, as Yahtzee is.

Here's a vote for Yahtzee actually considering the main point of the game next time. (In this case, Bad Company 2 is clearly about the multiplayer, which he ignored entirely.)

That song is totally ruined for me now after Bayonetta.

Talking of new iphones, I'm almost tempted now... did you see the new ipod/iphone controlled REMOTE CONTROL HELICOPTER WITH A BLOODY VIDEOCAMERA ON IT? (http://ardrone.parrot.com/parrot-ar-drone/en) Want. Will consider defecting to Apple for.

Yes, well, I wouldn't have popped over if you hadn't sent an update to my RSS feed reader indicating you had something new to say. Seems a bit churlish to berate me for responding to your hail. Which is why it was completely appropriate. Merry xmas.

Hey. Sarah Connor Chronicles was awesome and its early cancellation a crime almost as serious as the axing of Firefly after 14 episodes.
