    The Escapist's Favorite Things About Doctor Who

    Blink was helped by Carey Mulligan being a fantastic actress and doing a spectacularly great job with Sally Sparrow. Also, why omit the "Classic Series"? Surely the great Tom Baker should get a mention somewhere?

    3 Odd Things About The Tomb Raider Xbox One Exclusive

    I hold a similar theory, which is that, scared by Tomb Raider's initial lower than expected, Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics wanted to lower a sequel's (in early development at that stage?) financial risk to themselves. Therefore, they approached Microsoft to help fund Rise of the Tomb Raider...

    Should the PS4 and Gamers Boycott Tomb Raider?

    I don't think a boycott is necessary, especially since Rise of the Tomb Raider is a timed exclusive, not a "real" exclusive. I assume that Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics went to Microsoft with a begging bowl and Microsoft said "OK, but we want timed exclusivity in return for our investment"...

    Twitch now scans VODs for copyrighted material

    The best reaction to this that I can think of is that Twitch offers two levels of advertising revenue to the streamers: one for those not using copy written music and one for those who are using copy written music. If the music industry stops greeting modern technology with the usual "cease and...

    Poll: Gaming blues: what's the point in buying the new consoles anymore?

    Are you quite alright? :o I don't mind the slower response time when playing on the Xbox 360/Playstation 4. I don't have particularly quick reaction times anyway and, whereever possible, avoid situations in games that require fast rotary actions. I remember not being able to play a...

    Poll: Anyone Remember This? (RE: The Stanely Parable)

    This image and the discussion around it has clear parallels with the controversy surrounding Far Cry 4's cover. Neither image, in context, is racially offensive.

    Not impressed with Xbox One

    I severely doubt that the Music Unlimited service will likely ever be as successful as its rivals. Yes, it's arguable that the PS3 allowed Sony to win the HD-DVD vs Blu-Ray war, but I don't think lightning will strike twice with Music Unlimited. MP3 playback (and CD playback) in the PS4 is a...

    Not impressed with Xbox One

    Have you told Sony (via Twitter or whatever) that you would like these features included? I see no obvious reason why a software update to the console could not allow such things. The PS4 also doesn't play CDs, but it has hardware that is capable of so doing. If enough people share your wish to...

    Destiny Beta Causing PSN Outage Issues

    She's using wont in an old-fashioned sense. In this usage, wont does not mean will not (won't), so her sentence is fine. It means the same as: "As gamers are known to do, they quickly turned to the Internet to complain about the outage or their missing beta codes." From a technical...

    Kickstarter-funded Yogscast Game Cancelled

    As Smooth Operator correctly pointed out (see below), Yogscast were not involved in the programming of Yogventures. The over-arching theme of this debacle is one of of two young, relatively inexperienced companies trying to punch well above their weight. In the case of Winterkewl Games...

    Not impressed with Xbox One

    Is one able to plug a USB hard drive into an Xbox One console, and transfer games between the USB hard drive and the console's built-in storage? If so, that's a possible solution to your game installation/uninstallation issue.

    Anybody know these video game journalist's qualifications?

    According to his Twitter feed [https://twitter.com/Totalbiscuit/status/189813526628536320], TotalBiscuit has a (Bachelor's) degree in Law. IIRC in a Co-Optional Podcast he mentioned that it was from Newcastle University, but I may be wrong. But that doesn't mean that the achievements of...

    Poll: Will this console gen be shorter?

    According to this article [http://uk.ign.com/wikis/xbox-one/PS4_vs._Xbox_One_Native_Resolutions_and_Framerates], both the Playstation 4 and Xbox One can output at 1080p and 60fps, but it depends on the game. I would argue that the impact of cloud gaming is an unknown at the moment. Cloud...

    Poll: Poll Is your room Kinect compatible

    Since the current Kinect sensor needs to be around 6ft(1.8m) away from the player for a single player and 8ft(2.5m) for two players, I don't have the space to use the sensor. Unless the Xbox One's Kinect Sensor allows one to be much closer - i.e 3ft(80cm) away - then I won't be able to use it...
