I can’t see it on Steam.

Let me guess, Ubisoft? Europe gets shafted again, woohoo!

BG&E is five bucks on Steam for the weekend. You guys should mention that, and title the post “Beyond Good & (Nearly) Free-vil”.

I am never going to forgive myself for that.

Will finish BG%E 1 on the old Xbox now. Loved it to bits, just didn’t have time to finish it.

Yay :D
I wonder how long we’ll have to wait? At least a year maybe two I reckon.

@Matthew: Syndicate Wars is to Syndicate what Viva Pinata: Party Animals is to Viva Pinata.

There is no Syndicate sequel. =)

@ Revered Speed: were you away when Syndicate Wars was released, just out of interest?

@ Johnathon: I think there is some confusion over what I meant by increased realism. The addition of wrinkles, blemishes and so forth to Pey'J grounds him a bit more to the real world (not to mention that it's abundantly clear that the surrounding area is fairly realistically modelled), which conflicts with his obviously fantastical nature. Personally, I would have prefered a Pixar-style approach which retained the chunky art-style and smooth lines of the first game. But as I made abundantly clear in my first post, this is just a quibble of mine over the apparent art direction. @ Shanucore: But if we had Psychonauts 2, then we wouldn't be getting Brütal Legend!

Another SQUEE for the best gaming news of the year.

I played through the original with my girlfriend – she bought it full-price on the PS2 and we spent a couple of weekends curled up on the sofa taking turns. Not the best game I’ve ever played, but certainly one of the most engaging, and with the best-realised player character.

Yeah, I bought BG&E used a few months ago but couldn't get it to work properly even after a loooong nVidia driver struggle. If I disable gamma correction, everything runs five times faster than normal. If I leave it on, video and audio are not in sync. If I disable V-sync, the video stutters every two seconds. If I install earlier drivers, the game freezes in the main menu. Most frustrating. Has anyone succeeded in finding a working configuration for a 8800-series nVidia card and if so, how? These instructions were of no use to me, but for someone else they might, so I'm posting them here.
