Journalism fail. Bodycount was Codemasters. City Interactive did Sniper: Ghost Warrior.

@PR0F3TA
Deus Ex did that years before Cloverfield.

@Aerothorn
Ultima IV through VII Part 2 ARE the highlights of the series. It's worth playing all of the games in that part of the series.

And in twenty years, when UK development is a fraction of what it once was because everyone is jumping ship to here (Canada), politicians will wonder what happened.

Yeah, I got the same feeling. Reading the preview made me laugh a bit. I mean, how could that starving remnant of the Cold War possibly take over the United States? And then I watched the trailer, which made it seem almost plausible. The developers could really be on to something if they maintain that same disturbing atmosphere within the game.

Fair enough. I do agree that Halo and World of Warcraft have pretty mediocre soundtracks. But then, I also think Final Fantasy VII is also pretty bad.

Personally, I've been to both VGL and Play concerts and vastly prefer the latter. They tend to branch out more and play more obscure music - they've done Commodore 64 medleys and music from The Darkness, for instance. It seems that they're more willing to let good compositions speak for themselves, even if half the audience might not be aware of the games they came from, rather than just sticking to the well-known music.

I'm going to have to disagree with you guys. Most of my favourite videogame composers are European or American. I think that people like Chris Huelsbeck (who recently had a concert dedicated entirely to his music - http://www.symphonicshades.com/), Jeremy Soule (who does my favourite orchestral works, due to his more subtle approach - most tracks in Morrowind and Oblivion are not in the overly-grandiose "USE EVERY INSTRUMENT IN THE ORCHESTRA BECAUSE ITS EPIC" style that many other composers, both Japanese and Western, composers get seduced by), and Peter McConnell (Grim Fandango sounds absolutely unlike any other game out there) are better than any Japanese composer you'd care to name.

Aw, when I saw the title I was hoping for a game based on the classic Paul Newman movie.

"Well, um, icing happen when the puck come down, bang you know, before the other guys you know. Nobody there, you know. My arm go comes up then the game stop then start up."

A spy would download mission briefings in the form of podcasts and listen to them with it.

The first one I played was the very first Prince of Persia, on a top of the line 386 back in 1990.

My preferred platform is 360.
