luke, is it possible to get criterions e-mail address??
would like to follow the progress of their NEED FOR SPEED up-date. and I hope to heaven there NFS is MUCH better than shift. that game was horrible.
I'm glad to see news about the sc2 lan petition. But "LAN play may be dead but the multiplayer mode of yesteryear". That's not true at all. Blizzard's decision to remove LAN is not because its "old" that's bullshit. Its the same networking that battle.net2 uses. Blizzard did it in order to force people to use their server and see paid content. Its just to make more money. That's why its so horrible. But LAN isn't "dead" and its not a "footnote". That's just what Blizzard's marketing directory says to convince the kids.
can i played you and win you
hay
Hi Luke,
Gameone is gone but as you say Eurogamer is there as a niche event for up to 4,000 hard core gamers, there is London MCM Expo which has huge amount of gaming and is set to get over 40,000 consumers.
So while Play and Gameon are no more MCM Expo is not small scale and is growing
Check it out www.londonexpo.com

THANKS SONY for suck a great product...
NOT!!!!
biggest waste of money can be to buy a sony Playstaion 3 what a waste...

Why would I be livid. I take ecstacy to deal with video gamers like you, Luke.
And by the way, what's with the comments here that 12-year-olds shouldn't be playing GTA. The official line is that these games harm no one. Make up your freaking minds, game addict freaks. Otherwise, you've joined me and come over to the Dark Side.

hiiii
when do you think sr3 will come out
I saw your article on To End All Wars from a while back: "A gritty and authentic title is promised by Chemistry and Ghostlight, who will use the game to focus on the harsh realities of trench-warfare..." etc. They had been promising the game for summer 2008--any word on whether the project is still progressing? Thanks!

Dear Mr. Guttridge 13/11/08
I am an IB (international Baccalaurate) Diploma Programme student at Torsbergsygymnasiet, Bollnäs, Sweden and I am studying a subject called Information Technology in a Global Society, a deeper study concerning the social and ethical issues that are raised by IT.
I am doing research for a paper about the impact of decreasing bandwidth and I am hoping you would be willing to take part in an email interview concerning the affect of decreased bandwidth on online gaming. I found an article written by You (20 november 2007) at Play.tm where the decrease in bandwidth is being discussed. “Surveillance Net gridlock could impact online gaming” (http://play.tm/news/14676/net-gridlock-could-impact-online-gaming/). If you agree to do this interview please reply to this address (martina.ohlund@utb.bollnas.se), and don’t hesitate to ask any questions about this research. I will mail a number of questions to you (max 10-12) that you can answer and mail back to me.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Yours sincerely,
Martina Öhlund

The PC users (like myself) are also very miffed. On PC the game is virtually unplayable for most users. We have constant slowdowns, lockups, crashes, freezing, hitching, graphical glitches, issues with windows live, issues with the patch itself that came recently, and sound glitches.
The issues are widespread and its just ridiculous, I cant believe we paid good money for a product in this state. And this is on a PC that plays any other recent FPS perfectly, with no issues.
