Yeah I'm not sure what, if any, useful market research they can get from a load of random answers to a load of random questions.

Question 1? I didn't know my username was case sensitive?! I hope I guessed right. It was 50/50.

Ian is first! Screw you Zaphod.

April's games:
PS4 - Tower of Guns (Yay!)
PS4 - Never Alone (Rubbish)
PS3 - Dishonoured (Brilliant game!)
PS3/4 - Aaru’s Awakening (Icelandic students made it. If that doesn't make it the best game ever made I don't know what will. Looks pretty interesting)
PS Vita - Killzone Mercenaries (Pretty decent multiplayer. Probably trash campaign)
PS Vita - Monsterbag (Never heard of it. Looks fun enough)

I really enjoyed the campaign for this one - and its a real proper FPS on the vita - it feels like a COD game (in a good way)

Tower of Guns looks pish but Never Alone is on my want list and Aaru’s Awakening looks interesting (albeit brutally difficult) so that's all good.

It seems like they do it the first tuesday of each month. At least they are in April and did in March. Can't be arsed looking back any further. Though I'd prefer they did it when the month began, like any sensible person.

The words 'entering' and 'leaving' in these terms is really annoying. Frankly, they should have gone with, 'onboarded' and 'offboarded' like my HR department.

The word offboarded is used frequently by people in my current job and even a year and half in I'm still struggling to suppress the urge to punch someone in the throat every time they say it.

At the risk of legitimising Saturnalian's opinion I played the majority of Never Alone last night and it's not very good. I mean it's incredibly pretty and charming as fuck and all that jazz but the game itself isn't much of an actual game. The platforming is trivial, the puzzles are barely worth that label and it just generally doesn't do very much.

I plan on properly hating Tower of Guns to make up for it.

;)

I don't know what's up with Tower of Guns but it seems much, much slower than on PC. And easier. I cruised through about 6 levels yesterday.

I wasn't overly impressed. :S

Tower of guns isn't as good as it should. Bullet sponge enemies and slow moving projectiles don't make a fun fps.

Ziggurat is much better.

killzone mercenaries is pretty good, actually, not the greatest AI in the world, but other than that a decent game.

Aaru's Awakening is surprisingly fun. It's pretty rough around the edges and the controls are sometimes, by neccesity, the gaming equivalent of patting your head and rubbing your stomach at the same time but I've really enjoyed my time with it. You will die an absolute shitload while working out what each section requires and then executing it but I'm not finding it at all frustrating; largely because the checkpoints are very generous. It's the kind of game I would usually expect to hate but something about it's really sucked me in and I think I'm only two levels off finishing it. So, yeah, worth giving it a shot though I suspect it won't be for everyone.

Yep. It's tremendous fun for a while but does go downhill later on when the levels start using different techniques. I still thoroughly enjoyed it but it's not as good as that concept initially appear to be.

Ether One just fucked up real bad. NO INVERT? If it ain't on the update that's currently updating it can get fucked. An update which is, by the way, 3.448 GB. I don't know how many GB's are needed to invert control but I suggest that there's probably room in that update. The cunts.

FYI, if you play Ether One without the patch you don't get any indication on the keyboards that you use that you're on a particular key. It's just broken. Anyway, I suppose you had to download it to play it so it's probably expected that you'll have to download the patch.

Anyhoo that not the main problem now. Here's a few: it's fuck ugly, it's slow as shit, the textures are rubbish and, most of all, YOU HAVE TO CHANGE IT TO INVERT EVERY TIME YOU LOAD IT UP. Honestly, it's just astonishing in this day and age that this is a thing.

If you use an antiquated control method you should expect antiquated graphics.
