You realise these UK-only incentives are only done to tempt back English speakers to the glorious British empire, right?

The combat’s pretty much pointless, and you get the feeling the devs know it, and are including it for the hell of it. As for the camera, yup, the problems remain I’m afraid. There are a few moments where you’re forced into Leap Of Faith Syndrome.

Was the demo of Underworld unrepresentative? While the landscape was stunningly pretty, the camera was terrible (often couldn’t turn it to see where you were jumping to) and the combat was utter drivel.

@Nick: The prize-suppliers you say? Then we shall have to combine forces and fiddle their faces with flipper-fish. It won’t change their minds, no. But any reason’s a good reason for men of all countries and ethnicities to band together and slap other men with seafood. Slap them silly.

@mandrill, EA has opened up to all of Europe bar the UK, for some reason. Who knows why!

It amazes me how worked up you lot get about not being able to enter a competition. I can’t even buy series 2 of Dexter yet, damnit – Think about THAT! :D

Was this the one that Walker said was the best of the recent ones or was that…. that other one?

Are you going to whine every single time there is a UK only contest despite the fact it’s the people giving them the prizes who are responsible for that aspect? Jesus.

Pijama: (& anyone else who thought the previous Tomb Raiders were pants) The new breed of Tomb Raider from Crystal Dynamics, as mentioned many times previously, are not pants and are actually really enjoyable.

UK-only, as usual. Too embarrassed to ask your international readers to fork over the Shipping costs to their own prizes?

As an aside, I hear you’re still having trouble monetizing the site, RPS.

So we know that the sales figures are at least 5.

I’m impressed.

This contest is racist. Damn RPS and their ideology of English supremacy. I’m boycotting.

“This one’s UK-only, as always.” -Fixed.
