So close, yet so far
@GoldenMe. What's the matter? Is it that there isn't a countdown? Just mentally number each paragraph, it'll fit in better then.

Mirror's Edge (PC): Mirror's Edge
I hope it can be modded. While 5 hours is only less than CoD4 single player, most people spent by far the larger amount of time in multiplayer where CoD4 excelled. Mirror's Edge has no multiplayer. Wouldn't it be better if in the Story Mode enemies where always bursting out onto roofs just as you leap off onto the next building always failing to catch you as you fly past them? Or perhaps they would be chasing you and about to get to the roof in 30 seconds giving you 30 seconds to complete a section. Essentially a time trial.

101 MORE things we've learned from games
I liked that in the Silent Hill video for 95 about locked doors, a lot of the time he's carrying a fire axe and can't open a wooden door! It's true that the real firemen only carry fire axes in case there are any zombies in burning buildings.

A History of Holiday Games (1980-2007)
It was going well up to 1998 and then it went all modern and boring. It would be nice to see this done with the UK Christmas games of yore. Over there they don't have such a fat plumber fetish. There'd be lots more Spectrum, Amiga, and Commodore ads. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udPpPDih1Qo

As others have pointed out the US Marines are not Special Forces. The equivalent to the SAS is the Delta Force which was in fact modelled after the SAS. ...and they are unstoppable Terminators, so it sounds about right.

I think you missed The Longest Journey/Dreamfall!
The answer there is: we may finally get a sequel!
3 years, 2 months ago Wanted: Weapons of Fate
Looks interesting. The film was cool, but I can't recall a movie tie-in that was a good game.
3 years, 3 months ago 15 years of “FIGHT!”
There was no FX Fighter.
First 3D fighter on the PC.

Cool, the wife will be pleased.
3 years, 4 months ago PC Gamer November issue on sale!
Nice to read the Spore and Colonization reviews, but it seemed light on reviews this month. Maybe my imagination?

It was also a great shame to find that Dan's column was the column he'd posted on Gamesradar a week or 2 ago. Boo!

I'd been waiting for the headset reviews, and went out and ordered a Steelseries 5H immediately. It's good. Thanks Logs.
