I played it and got bored of it after a few save points.

Don't get me wrong, I loved Shadow of the Colossus to pieces, but Ico just didn't do it for me. There's a lot I don't like about the game. I just find it really bland.

Actually, I'm in the same situation as this guy. As a Playstation gamer, I've yet to get into the Mass Effect series. I'm waiting to get the trilogy, but its price tag is ridiculous. Purely because it's the only way to play the first game on PS3.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that, yes, it's intimidating knowing…

Personally, I'd much rather play a game that was just a series of main missions with all the side missions and extra crap cut out - for half the price. Take Assassin's Creed III, for example. I would rather pay half the price and have the story only. That's the main reason people play single player games. All the…

"It's not like a massacre, it's like a really intense fight".

Nice PETA-dodging PR moves, there!

I'm talking about the performance more than anything. The frame-rate is incredibly smooth at times, way smoother than a game with so much going on at once should have. And the animation is gorgeous.

I'd love to see an Assassin's Creed game that used a different Assassin/time period in every sequence! Or maybe 4 different ones in a game, for example? That'd be VERY cool.

I've been working through my backlog, and I just finished Revelations.

I agree that the series is being dragged out to the extent that Brotherhood and Revelations weren't really necessary, but they were great games in their own right.

Having just started AC III however, wow. It genuinely does feel fresh, and new, and…

I was expecting to see some sort of facial animation tech demo...what I actually saw was a really mesmerizing, hypnotic and disturbing piece of art! That music is really haunting and perfectly chosen too!

Suppose the water is pretty nice. This project doesn't exactly look distinctive, though, does it?

Remember when Ubisoft released Splinter Cell: Double Agent on what were then previous-gen and current gen consoles? Remember the difference not only in quality, but in actual structure and gameplay? Yeah, that all over again.

Please be an Enemy Unknown sequel! I got the game on Playstation Plus and loved every second of it. And I don't normally play strategy games!

I'd say this is what happens when you just keep releasing the same games over and over again for decades.

Now I know Nintendo fans tend to respond to that with "Ah, but the other consoles are just getting Killzone and Halo over and over again!" - but the key thing to remember is that:

A) Those are relatively new…

You want me to buy a non-used game? Okay. Just so long as you make a game that's actually worth the price you charge for it.

I only buy used games when I'm going through my backlog and getting games I didn't deem good enough to buy full price.

Make a game like The Last of Us and I'll get it new on day one.

Furthermore, everybody seems to think that when people 'break' and go crazy, they laugh and make angry faces while they do so, ala The Joker. A more realistic representation is a sort of incoherent mumbling/crying/shouting sound.

No, it is ironic. You wouldn't expect that coincidence to happen! :P

I agree. I sometimes tell people I have certain intellectual interests, but I always feel the need to be very careful about how I say it, because it makes me feel like I'm being one of these 'self-professed intellectuals'. I'd rather be viewed as an average guy with some slightly off-average interests than as a genius…

Those are very clearly game screens, not photographs. I don't understand why you're so impressed with this game's graphics, Luke.

I agree. I wish we could see a Helghast pedestrian zone, complete with civilians, women, homes etc. We only ever see their army.

And how come their leaders haven't lost their hair or ability to breathe correctly?! I never understood that!

I felt the first season of Dexter was fantastic, and the second season was the show's peak. Really, they should've saved the latter season's premise for the final one. All other seasons have been better than most TV, but they do feel formulaic, like "here's this season's antagonist, and this is Dexter's dilemma this…

You can smoke pot in Saints Row 2, so it's definitely a possibility.

Also a possibility: getting banned in Australia.
