Whenever you log into Meebo.com, you get a little window on the left, with a blog entry in it. Today's is posted by elaine, who lists a few of her favourite sites, and two of her favourite games. Sudoku Combat and Platypus. It gets everywhere! She writes.. "Who can resist claymation? This is a fun and straight-forward spaceship shooter game. I got hooked and exhausted my free trial version quickly pretty quickly." Platypus was of course written in Blitz by Anthony Flack, quite a while ago, and tends to keep popping up every few weeks. .. It is a great game. Platypus homepage Just a shame they don't give the guy any sodding credits on the site anywhere... -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

It's the funnest game I've played in the last year, full stop. Back in the days of BC, I really respected Anthony, and the saga of his game and what has happened to him legally just makes me respect him more.

I think the main reason it's getting such low scores is because it's being marketed as a "Big New PSP Game", and not what it is "A really fantastic, well made Homebrew game" If it said on the box/game/anything "Platypus : A game by Anthony Flack", and was marketed as such, then perhaps the scores would have been greatly different. I wonder how many of the reviewers know it's basically a one-man game? -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

G4TV game Platypus a very harsh review, even making fun of its claymation graphics. They really tore it to shreds. I really liked it though.

haha @steve, Microsoft Turds would be an improvement over Vista. And your choice of color too. And remember to install the hemorroids patch too.  sorry for gross outs  but cheers power mousey |

@Mousey...  |edit| Actually, I think Vista is more like diarrhea than a turd. |edit||edit| A turd is more solid. |edit| |

ahhhhhhhh, true I think Windows XP will be my last OS. Micro$oft is really trying to shove this beta down everyones throat. When my brother and I went to the show last week, we saw some comming movie attractions and there were 3 Vista commercials. Little short clips. Booo!....hiss,boooo!! One was a public service message about how parents shouldn't let their kids do drugs and by showing kids in an analogy doing and having leeches suck their body parts. Well, I'd rather have leeches suck my blood and guts rather than use Windows Vista. Thats for sure. I'd rather date a Platypus too.
