Enjoying it. A lot. The controls are great once you get
used to them. The sci-fi element of the story is a bit lame
so far but we'll see how it pans out. This game looks
amazing.

Also is anyone playing Team Fortress 2 on Live? If you fancy
a game message me. Im down as Indexical.

It's great game. I like the sci-fi elements it's really
strange and cool imo. But the pleasure of the game is the
liberty of moves you got.

I read in the newspaper today that there is a cheat where
you can just fly through all the levels. It was dead simple
just two buttons.

Havent played it myself , looks cool.

The game has been shockingly polarizing in the review press.
But the ones that don't like it are stupid and the ones that
do are smart, the game is awesome albeit greatly flawed.
Weak AI and bad fighting but the game is so beautiful that I
don't even care, the idea is not to fight anyway. I have a
major hard-on for the era the game takes place in, and the
power the game gives you over everything and everyone. The
game feels so good.

But I really thought it was going to be much closer in
quality to Thief because of the similar awesome setting and
art direction, the city hubs looking like a more advanced
version of Thief 3's, the roof hopping being like that great
Thief 2 mission, and Altair bearing such a resemblance to
Garrett. But it's not even close to Thief quality.

I think this is going to be a maligned cult classic, the
flaws are fixable and a sequel could be amazing.

Talk briefly about the music as I have a vested interest.

It's by Jesper Kyd, so naturally it's first rate,
beautifully sinister and immaculately produced.

I wish there was more temple/castle/dungeon/house kind of
environments, more interior stuff. This game gets repetitive
after a while.

Final conclusion- this game flirts with brilliance and falls
short but I'll round it off the ''brilliant'' anyway because
it's still unique and quite unlike any other game. Which is
exactly how I felt about Dead Rising, another fundamentally
flawed beacon of innovation.

Do people still read magazines!?

Pro reviewers are gay anyway. It seems the reviewers don't
like this game but mostly everybody with a brain on gaf
agrees that it's a creative triumph

My favorite reviewer is "angry videogame nerd" on youtube.
He slags off old nintendogames that really sucked and its
very entertaining and true. Some videos brings back
childhood memories off very frustrating gaming sessions.

Yeah he's good. I kind of miss those naive days where
frustration and horribly broken game design didn't bother
me. Now I complain too much even about great games like AC,
but that's what gamers do, they complain, and the Angry
Videogame Nerd harnassed the combined power of hindsight and
complaints very well.

Boxbob- yeah the awesome platforming and not so awesome
swordfighting are pretty similar. Do you like Hitman? PoP +
Hitman = AC

Ophecks, sounds good... hitman I'm sure was a good game (and
a good series) but my forays into hitman - hitmen? - were
cursory at best. Thief was cool, and of course the MGS
series, so I'm definitely going to check this stuff out.
I've been following its rise out of nowhere through E3's and
other events so I'm all hyped up.

Recently I've been playing old-school RPG, Grandia II, on my
PS2. Surprisingly engaging, still, despite being a Dreamcast
original.

I'm sort of gutted that I can't play Halo 2 without getting
Vista, that's BS...
