Games We Love but Wish We Could Love Playing

Stephen Totilo found his Dead Space notes and one important thing he wrote down was about the TV's Dead Space devs are using to test their game out on. A Dead Space developer told him that he is testing Dead Space out on various TVs, one of them being a 4:3 standard set. Very good for anyone who has a standard TV, you won't see any small text or other screwy things.
In my notes about the game was another important detail, a crucial one for people with standard definition TVs like mine.

I had been worried that I was destined to experience another Battle For Middle Earth squint. Some EA games have really vexed me with their tiny text, worse even than Capcoms Dead Rising.
Not to worry, a Dead Space developer told me. Hes got the game running on multiple TVs at his workspace, including a standard 4:3 set. Thanks for not forgetting the little guy, Dead Space developer.
