  • Good stuff Reg.  I would enter but it's made me realise I know next to fuck all about the modern games industry.
  • I can answer about three of them.  But the guy who made Super Hexagon has developed quite a few games, according to the Edge article, and most Vitas didn't need 'dusting off' for whatever you're referring to in that question.  :p

    Indeed he has. I'm assuming any previous title, spelt correctly, will suffice.

    I want the one that has a weird name that needs to be exact. It came out on 3DS this year if that helps.

    O go on- have a go.
  • I have entered.  I doubt I'll get double figures.
  • Probably suffers a bit when the first respondent only gets a couple of questions wrong!  I've got answers for all bar 4 or so, I'll submit later.
  • I'm surprised I can remember anything past what fucking Skylanders exist right now.
