Hah.

Been running through the Sly Collection - mostly focusing on Sly 1 at the moment, have about a world to go before finishing. Holds up quite well.

Also have a copy of Tron Evolution that I'll need to try again when the combat doesn't suck.

That was my second thought. My first though was she looked like that actress from the Clint Eastwood boxing movie.

Sort of like Hilary Swank in some photos i have to admit.  But Hilary Swank is a goddess.  Damnit stop confusing me.  New Lara Croft looks like Mogli and prince of persia.  end of.

Kinectimals developer:

When asked if Microsoft should apply more quality control to weed out shovelware Braben continued, "The implied censorship in your question I think is a slippery slope. I would hope games that are fundamentally poor, third party or otherwise, will simply fail in the marketplace. It is up to the publisher whether to tarnish their brand with such a title."

very good reply

I just posted a review of GoldenEye 007 for the Nintendoes.

It is cheaper to let everything through and "let the market decide" (to spout an insidous capitalist excuse), but it's detrimental to the long term health of a platform (ask Atari).

I just hate it when people so easily throw up the "censorship" card.

Ask Nintendo how well strict quality control works. Not well at all. They all jump ship when the PS1 arrived.

If LA Noir is anything resembling LA Confidential in character, spirit and awesomeness it has the potential to be something truly great

Agreed. It might be the game that gets me back in Rockstar's fold.  I heard an ignoramus on the bitmob podcast (now cancelled from my future listening) say how "he heard how" they were using an amazing "new technique where they capture the voice acting and motion capture at the same time".  Welcome to 2007, Heavenly Sword says "hi".
