Hi webmaster – This is by far the best looking site I’ve seen. It was completely easy to navigate and it was easy to look for the information I needed. Fantastic layout and great content! Every site should have that. Awesome job

20GB ought to be enough for anybody.

If it is a consolation, if it was released they would probably price it at something silly like $300 – making anyone who did buy one a bit retarded.

Possibly not the point you were trying to make – but if you do want a 250GB HD buy a much, much cheaper one on eBay or something.

On a side note the FFXIII xbox looks disappointing – after the uniqueness of the Halo console they’ve gone for the “It’s just Red” Resident Evil console and now the “It’s White!” FF console (at least, it appears that way).

I was going to post that we are all busy playing ME 2 but I was too busy playing ME 2.

It's a much more slick and fast paced game, having stripped out the fiddly RPG elements, though I'm not so keen on the way the game prevents back tracking during a mission. I'm constantly worried that I'm going to miss a side quest or some loot.

I've been triggering every Paragon/Renegade quicktime event out of habit, though I've come to regret some of them, like an unprovoked punching a woman in the face incident. I can't help pressing the button to see what happens, but it would be more in character if I let some of the renegade acts slide. Have you seen any of the QTEs that have a choice or are they strictly one sided?

Comment on Children of Earth: Days Three to Five by Andy

The government in episode 3 was surprisingly eager to send the children away. I know they're the bad guys, but a bit of umming and ahhing would have been nice. Why are they so keen to surrender?

It was good to see Torchwood regroup and swing into action in episode 4, but they really should have waited for one more episode if they don't want their plan to balls up.

Great article. There’s a lot of good information here, though I did want to let you know something – I am running Fedora with the current beta of Firefox, and the layout of your blog is kind of quirky for me. I can understand the articles, but the navigation doesn’t function so great.

It isn't black, it's an extremely dark dark gray. Frankly I applaud such innovation.

What an exciting time. Competition within the same er... office can only be a good thing.

I'm very excited to see how you are going to blend those genres together. It could be a revolution in gaming. Unless ... unless you're being sarcastic. No, I can't see any Sarcasm Marks so you must be serious. I'm very impressed by the game so far, although you might want to change the colour of the game so that it stands out from the background.

In other news, I'm releasing a tablet device called iSlab 2.0 next week.
