Spiders' stuff is generally turn-based or at least command driven, and that's what I'd thought had been said for Mars. But having just looked at the combat video online, it looks like it's another…

Be aware that (unless it has changed) Septerra Core is broken on Win8. Curse you MS and your cheap game-breaking upgrades.
It is, however, a great game, but became a bit of a chore later on going…

Whilst I'm pleased they've been so successful (I was in on day one with this one!), I can't help feeling that 4.1m is a touch OTT given the 1m they were originally looking for (and will probably lead…

I think the slums spawn rate drops slightly once the Master Thief has been killed. Certainly it was almost unplayably high initially, and I found myself fighting 20+ thieves simultaneously after…

View distance can be improved somewhat in the options, and while you're there, set difficulty to "hard" and random monsters to "less". This seems to make it a bit more managable in terms of not…

It seems highy unlikely to include DLC since the shots show only 2disc versions of xbox ME2 and 3. The DLC for ME2 would be over 2Gb in size, making it hard to believe they squeezed it on the disc….

For what its worth, the point-and-click mode in this new version (press Ctrl to trigger it, or options) seems to work rather well. Pointer is then always visable to click on UI elements etc, while…

I'll probably be flamed for saying this, but given the way they've changed it, I'm surprised it doesn't support natively support gamepads now. That would give Nordic an option to go after the…

Another problem - they seem to have made the UI all separate windows, each with their own close icon. If you have several open and get attacked by random mob spawns, you'll have to spend 10+ seconds…

The new installer seems to use cab files, but still takes a while. The end result is as before - loads of .bmp and .wav files. This is what made me wonder if the developers had merely updated these…

I very much enjoyed ME 1 and 2. I…
