@Saturnine 好きです, ロロナちゃん: I don't know, I think a lot of games offer DLC that is genuinely an addition to the story; something that would previously been a full on Expansion Pack for £15 or £20. I'm not against DLC per se, only where it's either a content patch for the full game or a content-less money grab.
@fatheadwilson: So far all the reapers we've seen apart from the half-built one at the end of ME2 have looked like Sovereign; the dead one in ME2 and the shot of the approaching armada.
Perhaps what we saw of the "human" reaper was just the innards and they all appear outwardly identical.
@Saturnine 好きです, ロロナちゃん: Which is fine as long as they don't screw you out of content in the core game, offering it later as DLC that isn't available for the PC.
Shame about the blatant Windows Phone 7 product placement in the middle of the episode. I was half expecting it to survive the EMPing, just to show how awesome it was.
@The Forgetful Brain: Crysis. It's"linear" in the sense that you have a goal to reach, but with the exception of its first 30 minutes and stupid last hour it's pretty much up to you how you get there.
@The Anti-Fanboy: Borderlands & Fallout aren't really FPSs in the traditional sense though; they're FPS/RPG hybrids and lots of simultaneous questing necessitates a non-linear environment.
Alien vs Predator (Rebellion/1999 version) playing as the Marine on any level with Aliens in it.
Hearing face-huggers skittering about, your motion detector starts beeping, you glimpse one out of the corner of your eye as it darts through the light from your distress flare, you fire wildly into the dark trying to hit it, you think you've killed it and then wham! It covers your screen, kills your character and you nearly fall backwards off your chair.
@Spikette: SGA is mostly losing its audience because of the stupid timeslot SyFy have moved it to. Stargate (in its many forms) has been a Friday night staple for years and now, for no apparent reason, they've stuck it on Tuesday nights instead with a show that was already haemorrhaging viewers before they moved it.
