Where are they now? Their original website doesn't look like it's been updated in years. Were they swallowed up by another company?

Bliss Island is (according to the XBLA web site page) published by Codemasters, but it's not even on their web site. :roll:

Which curiously still links to the Pom Pom site I posted earlier which hasn't been updated in years.

Not sure if anyone's interested. Seems cheap but I'm not up on XBox 360 yet.

Burnout Paradise - £25

http://www.play.com/Games/Xbox360/4-/11 ... oduct.html

I've bought it, you have to have at least one racing game don't you.

Seems odd doesn't it. They seem to have increasingly been chasing the "casual" market and favoring graphics over gameplay IMHO. All there recent stuff has been rather bland and uninspired.

The box shows it as being part of the Platinum Hits range - and as far as i'm aware Gears has only been released under that branding in Japan.

Assuming it's region free then that shouldn't really present a problem.

Didn't they re-dub everything for the Japanese Gears of War? Or am I missing something fundamental here? :)

I think that is the Asian version. Well even the Japanese version can be played in English, so there should be no problem.

According to VG+, Gears of War is region free. :)

Got this through, works fine. All text in english as is the speech. Looks like they've added 99p on the price, £15.99 now though postage is free.
