I know this is a little off-topic for RPS, but does anyone know if this will actually be coming to the Xbox? I’d love to play it with my girlfriend but I don’t particularly want to spend $50 to buy a controller for the privilege.

One life left was genius. Who else should review kids games but kids.

It also aired that kids pretty generally get annoyed by things adults get annoyed by. Making the terrible state of most kids games fairly shocking.

It’s a two player game, yet one side of equation was taken up by The Conglomerate, The Collective, The Many, the dread RPSblob.
No wonder Delightful Girlfriend was all-hands-on-deck-prepare-to-fend-off.

My delightful cat hates girlfriends; they always sleep/sit where she was just about to, like right this minute, lie down. It’s like they know and they’re just doing it to annoy her.

My girlfriend hates cats. Goes all narrow-eyed and growly when I mention them. Says she can’t trust them. Meanwhile, I find dogs too insanely stupid to make rewarding pets. I predict many amusing Dogs vs Cats arguments ahead for us.

Oh yes, games…I may try these later but the thought of installing Net3.5 and XNA etc is rather putting me off.

RPS: So what do you think of the various tensions that run through The Void?

Bloke who came round to fix the telly: Y’wot?

RPS: Do you feel Ice Pick Lodge were more successful in creating art that is more ‘playable’ this time around?

Bloke who came round to fix the telly: Look mate, just tell me what channels you aren’t getting.

RPS: Any closing comments?

Bloke who came round to fix the telly: Don’t touch me.

RPS: Thank you for your time.

This reminded me of the best bits of one life left, which is taliah, a little child, getting interviewed about child games. I, too, would like to see more of this kind of games journalism.

@ Hermit: They don’t need to implement their evil plans to enslave mankind, but that certainly won’t stop them.

@Ian

Cats don’t need to talk. Mine has discovered that the keyboard is a useful weak point. It becomes increasingly difficult to play games when a great furry lump comes and sits on the space bar until food is provided.

Also, more interviews with random non-gaming folk, please.
