Well, to be fair it is an in depth review, and its obvious that you enjoy this game very much. I don't mean to be too critical, I just had some rough spots in the prologue that I think others should be aware of.

Not gonna argue about tutorials, manuals, or how much hand-holding I expect from a game. Why? Because its all subjective, and we'll get nowhere.

Well I've not had a plethora of Witcher 2 reviews to read lately, I only had the one counter example to post.

Perhaps. but when several paragraphs of the review sound more like a fan-fic set in the Witcher universe, I wonder how much time he spent on the obvious negatives of the game. I can't seem to find any in this review.

Interesting review. Coming from a fan of the game, I can imagine. I am worried that you might have skipped over some of the games problems with the prologue and utter lack of Tutorials. Not to mention the utter lack of intuitiveness in quest flow. Luckily the escapist has a much more objective review.

My dad gave away my gold copy of Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the N64 to some friend's kid that I didn't even know for a Birthday present because he was lazy and didn't want to buy something for them.

it doesn't. I think the Playstation emulator might work for more than just the Xperia Play, like other android phones, but its the only current one with analogue sticks and gaming buttons.

Ah I see how that could be misconstrued, I meant with Minecraft's track record, I could see it on the Xperia around Christmas. So the game isn't whats getting me to buy one, cause the game's probably not gonna be out for a while.

It won't get me to buy an Xperia Play. But only because its still a ways off from being released and I'll need reasons NOW to get one.

I'd pay a premium if it was every final fantasy title..

I'm on #3.. Any repair you send to sony will get your hard drive erased, as far as I've found.

Might be worth it, but these are downloadable games that will die if your PS3 goes belly up. I'm not going to pay $40, $30, or even $15 for this sort of thing because I will have no physical copy to reinstall.

You don't need to mention "Free shipping" when its a PC download.

I still like a guild name we saw in World of Warcraft: Come Honor Face.

Edited to say "Graduation stage". I was being slightly tongue in cheek.

We clap when the handicapped kid walks across the graduation stage. I Think we can clap for the consoles doing something without bringing up how the PC did it first.

Pretty impressive, I'll admit. I wont set foot in an online gears match though. Not without being the host.

I thought Sony was offering its European customers Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty. Worth a shot to log into my London account to check on it.

So this is the place where EURO Kotakuites hang out? Cause Xperia Play isn't available on any of the major carriers in the US.

I don't have other things to do at 11/11/11 (besides play games, of course) but $90 + airfare is expensive. To put it in perspective, Dragon*Con has over 100 guests, 5 days of concerts and panels, room parties every night, and its only $70 if you bought a ticket 4 months ago.
