    "Friendship", is it? Just two guys hanging around each other in tight shirts, grasping swordfish in their muscley arms...

    Like AC2, maybe Pandemic can fix these issues in the seq--

    Oh.

    Oh, right.

    Is this the first official time we've seen the Announcer? I remember one picture before with her wearing a red and blue suit, but I thought that was fanart.

    In reply to Achievement Chore: She Plays For Gamerscore, Whether It's Fun Or Not
    I admit, Achievements have kept me playing games much longer than I would have otherwise. That's not always a bad thing though. I'm not the kind of person that will regularly replay a game more than once, but sometimes an achievement will give me that little extra incentive to do so. But if a game isn't fun, I don't play it. I refuse to ever grind for an achievement (short of maybe just leaving the console on unattended for those "play for 50 hours" kind of things). To me, grinding goes against the entire nature of gaming: to have fun. It's the same reason I don't play a lot of RPGs.

    In reply to Uncharted 2's Amy Hennig Took Your Calls, Teased DLC And Explored Drake's Contradictions [UPDATED]
    Great question about the contradiction between game-mechanic and story-telling. Good answer as well, even if it was very short. Lovable rogue and psychotic serial killer..

    It's interesting to think about.. it's something that probably wouldn't be an issue just a few years ago. So maybe games are evolving a little bit after all? :)

    In reply to Uncharted 2's Amy Hennig Took Your Calls, Teased DLC And Explored Drake's Contradictions [UPDATED]
    About the possible ties between sport games and "regular" games, I was a bit disappointed by the lack of questions about Michael Jordan: Chaos in the Windy City, a game for which Amy Hennig is credited as game designer (if mobygames does not lie).

    Odd coincidence, that pretty obscure game (at least to me - but I played maybe 3 occidental console games during the 16-bit era) was mentioned in the comments of the news about these fan made recreation of Jordan commercials.

    That said, these podcasts are pretty interesting because all in all there are not that many outlets that talk about game design. Having game designers talk about the things they try to balance, the way they tackle problems, what they try to achieve, etc, even if it is not in great depth (the format does not allow it), is very refreshing and informative.

    One more thought: either a dual Soldier/Demo update or a solo Engineer update are going to wreak havoc on multiplayer dynamics for a few weeks. It's going to be interesting to see how this shakes out.

    I wonder if some of those rough edges could have been ironed out by the developers if they hadn't received pink slips in their stockings this Christmas? Sounds like a pretty awesome game with some faults, and it's kind of sad to see we aren't going to get the continuation it sounds like it sets up for.

    My theory:

    Perhaps not both classes will be updated. What I mean by that is, in order to not throw off balance, the community chooses which of the two classes receives the update, and the other doesn't, based on items that valves presents in the form of another Saxton Hale comic?

    @Terrorsaur - Five Six: That would be interesting, but very atypical for Valve. Yes, it's been a while since a real meaty content update, but there's no way they did TWO classes and will only release one. It just seems stupid to release one class and then, a month later or something, release the second. Who knows though, Valve does like user input

    @scottydosntkno: Well I was thinking more along the lines of NEVER updating the other class.

    But that seems a bit extreme.

    I'm sitting comfortably just under 13k and the only time I waste ages trying to get annoying achievements is in games I actually enjoy.

    To play hundreds of shitty games for their achievements to hit some arbitrarily high number?

    That sounds like torture to me.

    @TrjnRabbit:

    I've got a buddy with a gamefly subscription, soley for getting achievements. Occassionally he tries to drag me into boosting for him. More often then not on some shitty game I'm terribly uninterested in. After about two years of telling him no, I think he's FINALLY starting to get the idea I don't two shits about achievements.

    So yea, it is torture and all for a silly number.

    I was hoping for this to be a great game and have Pandemic exit the building with something shiny. Instead from this review it feels like they got cut off at the knees before achieving their goal.
