Fantastic Contraption

See? I told you LittleBigPlanet wasn't as original as people were making it out to be.

Mirror's Edge

Then I would say you should see this game in action - there's enough footage around now. But you've already said you like neither EA nor DICE, so... Ah well, all I can say is I reckon you're missing out.

Nice work, man! The timing was very good, especially when Halborn stood there having taken out the Agents.

Computer Mice to become an antique.

I think this sort of hands-free tech could be an improvement (once it's finished), but I'm not a fan of touch technology. As fancy as it is, it won't work with PC gaming as your arms, hands and fingers will obscure the screen half the time...
