At 2:09, rumbled!

And on top of that you're the only one who I saw using anything potentially non-work related

Bioshock is getting very good reviews, OXM 10 / 10, PC Gamer 95%.

Could be nice!

There were some nice comments on Eurogamer about this:

This is not SPACE GIRAFFE

I've just had a 30 minute sesh on Space Giraffe (good ol' partnernet) and after an initial "OMFG I can't see a bloody thing!" phase, it turns out to be amazingly good. I was really hoping I'd be able to play it at home this week...

SPACE GIRAFFE will make me eyes bleed with colours while asking me if I'd like a cup of tea.

I hear the withheld release of Space Giraffe was high on the agenda in the meeting between Brown and Bush. Brown told him we were going to pull out of Iraq pronto unless he sorted it with Bill Gates.

Some new tracks for Forza would be welcome - I suggest Spa-Francorchamps and Surfers Paradise.

Word on the street is that Spyglass doesn't have local multiplayer. So if you were thinking of using it to play with a friend in person, you can't. You can only play against the computer, or use Xbox Live.

This has to be the dumbest thing I've seen all day. (I apologize if any of you UK jerks were involved in this, but seriously. Come on.)

Ooooh! That's the Wipeout-looking thing, sweet.

All are welcome to come over to chez moi to play if interested.

Based on a quick play, might as well forget it, unless this will be released on XBLA for cheap. Fatal Inertia is a B-game, judging from what's available in this demo. Ropey framerate, boring tracks, no music worth mentioning. Stick with Wipeout and F-Zero X, and if you need more of the same, try Quantum Redshift or the old Star Wars pod racer game before this.

edit: changed braindead grammar. mmm brains

Seems to be caught somewhere between Slipstream 5000 and Wipeout and isn't better for it.

For 20-30 quid it'd be fun enough for the kids but it's definitely one of those games that would be much better on a Wii.

Edit : Now I remember what this game reminds me of. Hi-Octane.

Dynasty Warriors Gundam is exactly what it says it will be. Dynasty Warriors with robots. Not my cup of tea but there's no mistaking it for anything but Dynasty Warriors (with robots).

I just received a mail from XBox Live (that kind of monthly newsletter) where it says in big letters "This week you will be able to play Sensible Soccer". Let's just hope it's true...

You missed the bit in small letters where it said "on an old amiga"

Or an Atari Jaguar (which is basically the same thing, except with 1% of the Amiga's software library), which has the distinction also being able to run Tempest 2000 and Defender 2000. :-)

If they say anything like "Space Giraffe coming tomorrow" please make sure to make some noise about it!

Well, according to EuroGamer, Wing Commander Arena is predictably shite. Not really surprised.
