As roughly 50% of the emails to the wheezing RPS inboxotron over the last week will attest to, Rocksteady and Warner have not exactly displayed willing enthusiasm when it comes to the PC edition of Batman: Arkham City. A long- and mysteriously- delayed launch followed by DirectX 11 performance that was about as smooth as stinging nettle moonshine, then the final insult of the eventual patch screwing up many folks’ savegames despite leaving many of the initial problems unresolved. And then, silence. Months-long silence. Our own attempts at establishing just what the flipping fudge was going on came to naught, which made the torrent of increasingly florid complaint emails we were copied in on all the more distressing.

Thinking of picking up a Vita for the same reason. I have to say SRPGs like FF Tactics, Disgaea and Tactics Ogre seem to make the best games for train rides. You lose hours easily without getting too focused and if there are interruptions you don't even need to pause.
The Mass Effect Is Not What You Thought - Kill Screen
While humans and aliens and robots mobilize to stop a race of ancient machines from wiping out all life in the galaxy, fans on the internet are also mobilizing in collective outrage over the ending of Mass Effect 3 . They have scoured the game’s two discs for data that might reveal Commander Shepard’s true fate, which likely involves sun at the beach and sex in the shade with the lover of their choice after saving the galaxy for the third time. They have written screeds about developer BioWare’s disregard for the respect they have paid Commander Shepard by making hundreds of meaningful decisions in past games and building this hero in their own image.
A personal computer ( PC ) is any general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities, and original sales price make it useful for individuals, and which is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer operator. In contrast with the batch processing or time-sharing models which allowed larger, more expensive minicomputer and mainframe systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Large data processing systems require a full-time staff to operate efficiently. Software applications for personal computers include, but are not limited to, word processing , spreadsheets , databases , Web browsers and e-mail clients, digital media playback, games , and myriad personal productivity and special-purpose software applications.

Despite my continued efforts to better you by yelling at you through a microphone to do better, it is often difficult -- and thus disheartening -- to figure out if any of you damp piles of mulch are actually improving. I found the answer, in all places, in one of the insipid gun-themed women's magazines Miss Pauling leaves lying around, where I stumbled on an article about self-improvement. It was a revelation: Instead of screaming at you to improve, I could scream at you while you improved yourselves . I immediately telephoned Mann Co. and demanded to speak to Mister Reddy. Then that lummox Saxton Hale intercepted the call.

About a month ago we announced that we had put Subversion on ice. We really struggled to find a good game in Subversion, and we ultimately felt we had no choice but to shelve it for that simple yet unavoidable reason. A new game called Prison Architect was born from the ashes, and we will be talking more about that soon. One thing that was very cool about Subversion was the technology we developed for it. We spent months tinkering with procedural city generators and voxel systems. We spent so long tinkering with technology that we literally forgot to make a game.
