TGI Friday - Click the Link
I just got back from lunch and need to finish up some pending issues here at the office. But before i do that i thought i would just give you this Friday’s Click the Link. Maybe some people have already “shut down” for the week.
Gabe Newell Interview - Rock Paper Shotgun
Massive UK Personal data lost - BBC
Amazon Kindle sells out on launch - BBC
Santa gets axe for euro in Cyprus finance ministry - Reuters
Interview with Gearbox President Randy Pitchford (Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway) - Eurogamer
Jeff Minter can’t stop bitching about poor reception of Space Giraffe - Stinkygoat.livejournal
I was one of the few apparently who purchased his game on XBLA and regretted it as it is a game that is only enjoyable to a minority of people. It’s not a bad game as such but it is not accessible to the vast majority of gamers. And for me XBLA games must be able to appeal to the average gamer especially if the creator demands it to be a commercial success. I just hope that Mr Minter who is clearly a talented developer just stops whining and learns from this and comes back with something new.
Have a good weekend and I will see you on Monday.
