"...as you wait to cross."

I can't imagine kids/teens enjoying a game that involves a lot of talking, strolling around, waiting, and very repetitive tasks. I'd definitely say it's much more appealing to the demographic you described.

Simple - I only care about puzzle swap. I go in, grab my pieces, hop out again.

The most impressive thing is that they managed to make the imprisoned look anything other than ridiculous.

I .... What?

Well done, Mr. Fish. Well done indeed.

Does this mean I can FINALLY continue my saved games on a different console? Because this arbitrary and frustrating restriction on the PS3 has really pissed me off in the past.

Depends ... half length could also mean half as many weapons, half as much gameplay variety, half as good a story ... Again, I'm going to keep an eye on it, but every budget Ratchet game so far hasn't really impressed me.

I find it hard to get excited about this series anymore, which is a real shame. Also, if it's only $30, I'm worried it'll be another half length or otherwise half assed game.

*gasps and collapses into a quivering puddle of offendedness*

How am I shitting on your parade? Am I somehow stopping you from laughing at their juvenile humour?

I know that I stopped considering stuff like this funny when I was 12, and anyone who does is clearly childish and immature no matter how old they are. There's a difference between making jokes when hanging out with your friends, and miming sex with an alien with a piece of wood in a game while recording a speed run…

Are we still talking about Half-Life?

0:40:30 onwards ... Zooming in on people's asses, teabagging, other phallic nonsense ... wow, these are seriously mature guys.

It's OK, you're not really missing much with this game.

Word of warning, SS2 is the weakest in my (and many people's) opinion. Some like it though, so you never know....

I liked it a lot more than SS2. Certainly not up there with FE and SE, but towards the second half it did start getting considerably better, I thought.

No, they're completely different games. First and Second encounter together are basically two episodes of Serious Sam 1.

Seems odd that they would skip serious Sam 2. I mean, I'm not a huge fan, but it's still part of the series.

I didn't find the "zombies" in Last of Us remotely scary. They're built up to be this hugely dangerous thing, and then they're ridiculously easy to kill. And since death isn't exactly punished very severely, I just found myself exhasperately sighing whenever getting bitten to death by one rather than actually being…
