Is it any good?

Reviews are so-so, The Demo was OK, but just like the last one.

I enjoyed 1, 2 sucked and 3 was ok, but it is all getting a bit samey and repetitive.

I've played through Portal about 4 times since friday. Now I will have to play Half-Life (the first), so that I can put the rest of Orange Box to use.

Yes, me wants know about DMC4 too. And how's the difficulty level?

[Cayal]

I've only passed the first 3 or 4 levels (bloody work gets in the way on my game time). Pretty much the same controls. New guy Nero so far. Dante does an awesome entrance.

The Devil Bringer is a nice touch (basically the demon hand you see on Nero). Seems to be a lot more story driven and from what I have seen (yet to play, ie. the opening video before you choose new game, load game etc.) it will be more emotional.

Difficulty seems fine so far, but you get two options.

I like what little I have played but there isn't much new about it.

I've finally got round to playing Final Fantasy VII! I'm on my way to Reactor 5.

Finished half of DMC4 and I like it. It's not too difficult, some of the bosses took me a few goes (one I was just lucky, but then again two others I had em down to one more hit and they jump pummelled me).

I like the story so far and I like the character Nero.
It's a fun game all in all.

now I don't know whether to replay Final Fantasy XII or try something else.

Bought Lost: Via Domus on Saturday....finished it on Sunday.

Bloody Hell this is a short game and extremely easy. (5-6 hours)

The graphics are lush and the storyline is OK. The Flashbacks are well used and probably the most fun parts of the game (Apart from the general geekiness of running around the location from the show and pushing the numbers into the computer in the hatch)

The character models are a bit hit or miss and the lip synching is dreadful. The voices are done by not so sound alikes (Lockes is woeful)

The fuse puzzle is also used far too many times.

Overall it was OK for fans of the game, but there is absolutly no replay value ( I got 865/1000 achievement points on the first run through without trying)

6/10

Now Playing

Lost Odyssey - An oldschool RPG from the maker of Final Fantasy and by the looks of it so far he didn't change much for this game as it reeks of Final Fantasy so far. From the characters to the battle system and even the memu system looks like a FF game. Battle mechanics of linking the immortal characters to mortals to learn skills/magic and a ring building system make for a variety of ways to fight the random battles as they appear.

So far it looks georgous and plays very well, the storyline and battle mechanics are easy to pick up if you have played any of the FF games.

I'm not that far into it, but i'm loving it so far.

[Talysia]

Currently replaying Suikoden V.

[Lacedaemonian]

Still playing Call of Duty 4 (match play with my clan) and Football Manager 2008 (online with a friend). Looking at Blazing Angels 2, but wanting somebody else to waste their money on it first.

FFVII seems to have taken a back seat (I'm about to fight Rufus - just after seeing the corpse of the Shinra President) for another FF - FFXII. It's got a couple of issues on the PS3 (very minor, though - the odd flicker and jaggy, but that's it... the FMV cutscenes though, cor! Beautiful! I can't wait to play FFXIII and have gameplay graphics like that, let alone the FMVs!) but nothing to annoy when playing.

I'm also going to start the original Half-Life tonight.

My *ahem* lovely children erased all my data from Mario Kart and Super Mario Bros on the DS so I am currently getting them back up to speed... can't say it's a chore... I've always loved playing Mario...
