Friday, August 17th, 2007

Last night while playing Bioshock I was reminded of something that is rather annoying in linear games that should be easier to get around with modern consoles: corridors that go nowhere and mysterious barriers preventing your passage because games aren’t designed for it

On the latest CAG Cast, and in Penny Arcade, there are complaints about the quality of the 360. Especially the headset, and Xbox Live voice communication in general. Granted, these are new things.
