Gears of War lead designer Cliff Bleszinski has no plans to emulate Silicon Knights boss Denis Dyack and tackle his critics in "Internet flame wars", insisting: "If you do a good enough job, your fans will come to your aid and defend you."

The artist formerly known as CliffyB, who was speaking to Eurogamer TV in London ahead of the release of Gears of War 2, argued that it was futile to engage with dissenters on forums, because "whenever something becomes large or successful then there's always a certain percentage of backlash where it becomes cool to hate what's universally accepted as something that's stellar or very interesting."

Dyack infamously launched an attack against critics of Too Human via a post on NeoGAF, urging anonymous hecklers to "stand up and be counted", while defending the quality of his game.

But Bleszinski, who has been cultivated as the high-profile frontman for the Gears of War franchise, believes criticism comes with the territory. "You have to have thick skin to be in this business and be some sort of public figure," he explained. "I think one needs to be very careful when dealing with those kinds of criticisms on the Internet, because you're never going to fully get rid of it."

With specific reference to you, dear reader, he added: "Eurogamer commenters aren't huge fans of me; it's highly amusing to read. I believe I've been called a wanker numerous times. You can't take it to heart, man. The Internet sometimes facilitates dickishness; I don't know why that is, but it is. You can call me whatever the hell you want as long as you play Gears of War 2 and give it a fair shake."

The original Gears of War, you may recall, received an eight out of ten in its Eurogamer review. Confident in the quality of his sequel, Bleszinski expects better this time. "I'm hoping it'll get a nine or a ten or I'm going to find you and kick you in the bollocks. One ball at a time." Ouch.

Gears of War 2 releases exclusively on Xbox 360 on 7th November. You can see more from our exclusive interview with Bleszinski over on Eurogamer TV. Be sure to check out our Gears of War 2 hands-on preview for a playthrough of the first act and some thoughts on multiplayer. too. ...

The Capcom blog has announced that the horrifically under-promoted Age of Booty sets sail on October 15 and 16 for XBLA and PSN, respectively. The PC version will be available "shortly after" on digital download services like Metaboli, Impulse and Steam. The game will be sold on all platforms for $10.

We've had a few positive hands-on experiences with developer Certain Affinity's AoB, going back to when it was known by the less risqué name, Plunder. Hopefully this multiplayer-focused, real-time, boardgame-esque downloadable title finds an audience in the madness of this packed holiday season. ...

Hi All,

Here is a new (final ?) version of PSPColem the Colecovision Emulator for PSP.

For those who haven't seen previous versions, ColEm is one of the best emulator
of the ColecoVision videogame system written by Marat Fayzullin.
It's running on FreeBSD, HP-UX, SunOS, Solaris, Linux, and other Unix systems.
PSPColem is a port to PSP of Colem (Unix version 1.0).

What's new in version 1.2.0 :

- Cheat support !

- Zip rom files are now decompressed in memory (much faster !)
- New render modes and vertical shift feature
- Improve file requester with virtual keyboard to choose
sequentially rom files beginning with a given letter
- Add documentation for settings in help menu
- A thumbnail image is now displayed in the file requester
while selecting any file with the same name of a previously
saved game (roms, keyboard, settings).
It might be very helpful to recognize that game later if you
have thousand different games in your rom folder !
- The virtual keyboard is now usable in the file requester menu to
choose the first letter of the game you search !
- In the emulator menu you can go directly to keyboard and settings
menu using the L-Trigger key.
