Andy - you ever tried putting two spaces in HTML? ;)

Anyway, yes, Space Giraffe. Very exciting.

I hate to sound like a broken record but when is Puzzle Fighter coming? Wasn't it supposed to be out by now?

major, thank-you. if you do land an interview with mr. minter show him how much respect, and support he has in the community. llamasoft is basically jeff minter+ 1. the quality of game his company puts out surpasses alot of bigger studios games. he is due his day in the sun, and oxm is bringing in the rain. what did oxm rate wing commander arena? no we are not allias's of jeff minter. just supporters.

All evidence points to OXM either being brain-dead or lying about Space Giraffe. Either way, $5 for me and a free demo for those curious should show the truth one way or another. Personally, though, with everyone I know who have played it saying it's nothing short of amazing and one OXM reviewer calling it crap, I don't have a hard time making up my mind who to believe.

A part of me wants to think that all the guest members posting that Space Giraffe is worth checking out is Jeff Minter himself hoping to lower the blow of the much-publicized OXM 2.0 review score.

I think that until I keep running into post after post from Gold members from different regions stating how excited they are to play a game from Mr Minter.

For me personally, I just want to see what a game is like from the guy Microsoft felt was so important that his visualizer was made a SELLING point for the Xbox 360 at launch and post launch.

Damn what a disappointment this is. Instead of getting the greatest football game ever in Sensible World of Soccer, we get a game that involves TRACING PAPER!? If I wanted that, I'd have gone back to school! Seriously though, I hope Sensible Soccer, Streets of Rage 2 and Super Street Fighter II Turbo come quickly - I just can't wait! www.1staaa.com

Get Jeff on your show Major - he's been a fixture of the games industry since I got my first computer, many many years ago.

How many independent game designers are still independent and haven't been swallowed by the big corporations?

+1 vote for a Jeff Minter / Llamasoft interview. This guy's been making games since the friggen commodore Pet, the first home computer, ever (yes, earlier than the Apple).

I want to hear whats coming after Space Giraffe. A new Iridis Alpha (Iridis Beta ?) would be very nice :)

jeff minter/artist/ outside of the box thinker/ anti-corporate/ underappreciated. he's original. that's a good thing. thanks microsoft for showing support to the man. oxm blew it this time. for god sakes give the man some respect. he's been a lifer indie developer. the game is 400 points. that value in and of itself deserves a 8.0. thanks mr. minter i will buy it day one. thanks microsoft.
