I have to agree completely. Terra-ble Nova is just shite. I've taken it out of my recording line up and won't be going back. Anyone sticking it out for some sort of improvement is in for a looong wait I'm afraid.

It's obvious that this is a government sponsored game. With the failure of worldwide education they, wisely, foresee a shortage of street sweeper drivers and bin men. This game will help spark an interest in the youth of today for employment in the future.

I expect this will be followed up by Xtreme Cashier and Deep Frying Max.

Bugger. Got too excited over the fact it was going weekly and missed that point.

Just saw the front page of the 2000AD site. The prog is going weekly in NA. No more avoiding the review section for spoilers.

Huzzah Tharg!

I'll only play it if it's FPS (First Person Sweeper).

Yeah. But they mostly come out at night. Mostly.

It didn't thrill me. Don't get me wrong, I want to like it, but so far it hasn't grabbed me. I don't want to give any spoilers so I will say that I found the overall story lacked grit. Living with dinos should be a tough and dangerous existence so the consequences for any stupid actions should be equal to that existence, to everyone, not just 'red shirts'. At the moment it feels like a bad children's show where every week we'll learn a very special lesson. Weak.

If it continues like this I doubt it will last the season.

Awww. I thought you were talking about Bolo by Keith Laumer. That would have been much cooler.

Black pudding's power is only enhanced when combined with the magic of white pudding. Oh and a strong cup o' Tea.

Geeze. If someone comes out with a decent text editor for that, iPad prices will have to drop sharply, and sharpish.

Nazi zombies. The very worst kind of zombies.

I would say Spanish Inquisitorial zombies are far worse. No one ever expects THEM.
