Ace combat left me a bit cold give me a bi plane dogfighting sim and then you are talking . None of this lock on shoot at a red hud square fire then forget, also what is with the amazing machine guns you can kill anything in a few hits going at mach1.

On a side note where the hell is the equivalent of xwing for the 360/ps3 that had some of the best dogfighting in a flight Sim ever grumble grumble grumble.......

You'll be complaining that you're constantly reminded that "War is a bad thing" over the radio in the middle of a huge furball just as you swoop down to dump a fuel-air bomb on an orphanage next...

Fable 2 looks good , one thing that I was unsure about is the way death is going to be handled.

You don't die but get pummeled and gain scars that can be removed by spending Xp points. Would this not make you care less about your character ? By enabling a penalty free( I don't count scaring as a penalty) combat system is it not making you less bothered about getting into fights and losing.
Personally I would prefer a permadeath type system , one that if in a fight there is a good chance to escape a fight if its going bad but with the small chance you could die. Upon death maybe your skills/items could be passed onto your children. So that you never need to start from scratch and having children that you have passed your items,knowledge,skills means you could fast track some content.

Maybe a option at the start of the game to let the gamer chose the option?

Snakey must have been flat out - he seems to have involved in load of XBLA titles - he's also credited in Sonic the Hedgehog (the new retro version - which is, by the way, excellent).

There is a little bit of a nod to Space Giraffe appearing on XBL, if you head for Media & Entertainment / Movies / E3 / Trailer Xbox Live Arcade.

(taps fingers & sighs ...)

Practically all Live Arcade games lag like a bastard...

That's cos he's full of all the emulator knowledge, innit.

He has been working flat out too, though
