Hell Kitty

Yes, RE4 has the bestest inventory in the history of the world. The store I ordered the collectors edition from called to say there won't be enough copies to go around, so I've been downgraded to the augmented edition, which is the same but without the dol... action figure. I get a copy of Infamous 2 as a way of saying sorry. The guy I spoke to kept saying Deuce Ex.

Compared to tarna, cancer's a ****.* *kitty kat

A low score you don't agree with means the reviewer obviously doesn't get it. A high score you don't agree with means the reviewer has obviously been bought. Reviews exist to validate your opinion or tell filthly lies. Anyway, stolen from another forum:

Splinter Cell: Conviction had in-game advertising, though the only place I can remember seeing them was the Washington Monument fair. A bunch of posters around the place that all had the same ad for a movie coming out here, either at the cinema or on DVD. The ads would change, but it was only ever for movies. Saint's Row 2 had some billboards which also featured ads for films, though I managed two full playthroughs of that game before ever noticing them. Both of those games no longer seem to show the ads when playing them now, instead showing the default textures.

According to wikipedia: The player will visit five cities over the course of the game, including Detroit, Shanghai and Montreal. Detroit and Shanghai are both hubs, Montreal may or may not be a hub. I don't know what the other two are. People are assuming Philadelphia (if I remember correctly) is one of the cities because the concert art of the helicopter pilot apparently uses an image of it as the background.

Not one map, one hub and a whole bunch of maps. It's a significant chunk of the game, apparently. Actual humans were allowed to discuss it in the off-topic thread on the official forums and the reception was overwhelming positive. Even the usual whiners were positive.

On consoles right? Because I haven't been able to find a trial version for PC. On 360, yeah. PC version is out in a couple of weeks.

I use the Flashblock add-on for Firefox. All flash elements are disabled until you press the little icon on to turn them on. So if some eastern European woman wants to show you something "artistic" you don't have to miss out.

Just bought From Dust after playing the trial version.

I had light armour with sword and pistol.

I bought this last night and the little bit I played didn't impress me. I start out in some dream land armed with a sword. While trying to figure out the controls I do something which causes three dudes to appear before me. They are standing there with their backs to me so I figure I might as well test out this fancy sword I've got. My triple homicide earns me a GREAT BACKSTAB which I guess means I got more experience points or some ****. Anyway, it turns I was actually summoning clones of myself. I summon a dozen more to kill which brings me closer to a new level, and I haven't even left the very first location. I don't know if it was running out of my divine cybermancy juice or all the murder/suicide I just committed but the screen goes blurry for a while. I step through the portal. I find a gun in the caves I'm now in, and eventually a monster bursts through the rock. I summons my clones who make short work of it, and then I reward them with murder. I eventually run across some bad dudes who kill me rather quickly several times. Every time I die I have to wait about five seconds for a resurrection to kick in. I remember my clones, who help me out in the battle. I collect weapons and ammo from fallen bad dudes, and turn around to find my clones are gone. Man, every without me murdering them they get the short end of the stick. I wonder if it's the same three clones every time? I eventually make my way to the temple that is my home base. Man, this place is huge, but boring huge. Like, instead of taking ten seconds to walk from point a to point b it takes twenty seconds. Of course, as everyone on an RPG forum could tell you, longer games are better games. I press the wrong button again, which causes me to kill the little helper droid thingy I just met. The whole base turns on me. They kill me, I resurrect and kill them back. Eventually I run out of resurrections and go back to the dream land from the beginning of the game. There is a mysterious man here now, and I don't like the cut of his jib so I murder him and step through the portal. I'm now back to the beginning of the temple base level and all my sins have been forgiven and I have a new set of resurrections. I wonder around a bit and find some merchant dude in a small room. I decide to test something, and murder him. The whole base is after me again. I'm done for the night.

I have the expensive 360 version with the Jensen figure pre-ordered, despite the game having such pointy knees.

That's the Malkavian PC.

And Lexx never implied that his eventual purchase rested on that feature, either, so why the hell are you even saying that in the first place? Surely you are familiar with the concept of trolling? Slowtrain isn't trolling, he is genuinely unable to interpret comments concerning graphics as anything other than a claim that graphics are the most important and only thing that matters. He also has three nipples.

I'm surprised by the amount of companion banter so far, it's the opposite of Mass Effect DLC.

OMG me too let's be best friends forever.

I care. Thinking of importing, as this probably won't ever make it down under.

But a scientist said it, apparently. Do you think you're better than a scientist? Anyway, I too have my doubts. Are they less violent because they play violent video games, or are the less violent because they are nerds?

Does the original Fallout count as a current video game? I thought the over the top violence of 3 and NV was just following on from the original. How long ago did the original Soldier of Fortune come out? I don't think 3 games is enough to label the violence in current games as being any more ridiculous than older stuff.

This is the worst thing Bioware has ever done.

I've haven't lurked at the codex since that weird "multi-headed ****s*" meme. *

Of course you can, the chosen femShep will simply replace the default femShep shown above, as well as being included in marketing/packaging. This really isn't a big deal, though I can't say I'm surprised that some folks would find a way to criticise Bio for it. Jennifer Hale 4 Life

The Deus Exy/Thiefy vibe is enough to get me to buy it.
