I doubt it. If I had to explain all that again it would come out completely different the second time around.

Hmm
I'm glad you said all that - I was confused.
(can anybody tell me what he means?)

OK OK FULL EXPLANATION REQUIRED BEFORE EVERYONE GETS THE WRONG IDEA!!
I'm on the SR site, and as usual I nip over the the News section to see what's going on because there's usually always something new or interesting there that Ali has grabbed, made up, borrowed, stolen, or appropriated by whatever means and posted up. The point is, it's always NEWSWORTHY.
So I read the line "Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter is the sequel to Star Wars: Starfighter, the PS2 Star Wars game in which you fly Starfighters" and thought hmmm, that's a very short and concise description of a highly rated game.
It reads as if the writer's opinion of this 'graphically astounding game' is that of a gamer who thinks that ALL you do in this opus is fly Starfighters, which is clearly not the case as you shoot stuff too.
Normally the author takes every opportunity to wax eloquently about every title in the SR catalogue, so you would have expected something like "Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter is the sequel to Star Wars: Starfighter, the absolutely stunning PS2 Star Wars game in which you strategically manoevre and blast your way through a diverse range of missions."
My conclusion was that the author was obviously thinking 'My God it's only Tuesday...I'm gonna let this slip through, I've got a whole week ahead of me'. Clearly I was reading too much into it, when in fact it was the writer's true intention to infact play down the original game in order to boost anticipation of the sequel to which the news story was referring, thereby increasing potential pre-orders, SR's turnover, and his bosses take-home pay, such is the dedicated worker that he is.
Or am I just reading too much into things these days? I blame John Le Carre.

By the way.
I think Snuggly is brilliant.

*throws Grix some sellotape*
That's me out then.
Here's one, we've all got to go out and do something really crazy with the SR Magazine sellotaped to our head. The person who gets the most inches in the tabloids the following Sunday wins an extra GAD, as long as it's legal.
Extra Gad, hurrah. Make it a goodun, Tonty.
