I'm all over that at the moment. It's more of the same as Mass effect 1 and it's removed all the bad shit so it's now awesome.
1.5 weeks for me to find a buyer for my kidney so I can get a PS3 with heavy rain.

That's because, from my playtesting...it's - as you say - RUBS.

I've tried it a few times. I'm not sure if it's part of the demo restrictions, but I always seem to be the alien.
And therein lies the key issue with the gameplay I think. The movement of the alien. You start to move and can't always tell the different between the walls and the floor. And because they've decided to have auto-climb, you run all over the farken place and can't tell what's happening or where you're going. (It appears they've tried to mimic the camera move shown in Alien3, where the alien is running down corridors.)
When the 2000 game is £3, the demo really doesn't make me want to spend eight times as much on the new game.

I totally agree. I've been reading this review over at the Sega forums

And I think the guy LV 426 has most of the points down to a tee.
AvP, the first one is still fantastic even though it's incredibly fast on high powered machines.

I need to start back up on that game. It was enjoying it until I had to reformat and lost my save games. It's hard to find motivation after that.

Well ME2 was great. I really agonized over every decision in the final couple of hours, I didn't know who to choose and considering that I had banged Jack and she just went all bitchy on me and that robo chick who was really nice and had a big studly ass I kinda felt a strange connection to them both. I tried to protect them... well not jack really, and I really grew fond or Mordin so I wanted to defend him too so in the end I sent the lizard guy into the crawl space, and he died (I hear that if you send the bitchy auzzie Cerberus chick she lives) then the bounty hunter guy died as well defending my six. Then as I was approaching the final chamber the black guy's force field failed (he was defending us all) and Jack got snatched up for the little flying bugs. Very sad... but she was a bitch and I nailed her so it didn't matter. So going into the finaql terminator battle I took the blue chick and the black guy not caring if they died... well they didn't god damnit and I was left with a hot but hard ass bitch and a daddy's boy. We all cheered and then I decided to save the spacestation for Cerberus to use. Oh man I thought a lot about that but knowing that there was a third game coming I wasn't as much tech behind me as possible.
So yeah, that was my finale of ME2. Pretty sweet...
So who else has played it? finished it, what were your decisions????

Ok, I have had it for a few hours now. The game play is a bit jarring at first.
Basically, you are prompted on screen to press buttons or perform movements with your controller, etc. to do actions. For instance, move the right stick up to turn the lights on.
The story is really emotional. I mean, you basically ARE the main character. You control everything about him. I mean, you dress him, you take a shower, you decide to drink some OJ. It is really engaging, which gives the story beats a lot more gravity. This is unlike any game I have played and I am LOVING it thus far. It does start out really slow, but it goes a long way in getting you involved in the story.
Oh and the score is top notch.

Can't seem to control Sonic as he hyper speeds across the ocean, through piers, and forests. Persevere, I will. Also playing NfS Shift. I managed to change my skill level from Aggressive to Precision, but you do get achievements and points for being an aggressive driver, so there you go. I guess if I can't drive in real life anymore, I can atleast drive on Xbox. hee hee

Playing Sonic on anything other than a Sega machine seems strange. I don't know why. Just familiarity, I suppose.
Pacino86845 wrote:Are the new Sonic games still 3D? 'cause I remember that they almost never had any success translating the Sega mascot to the third dimension. It would be cool if they're still putting out 2D Sonics, nothing wrong with those really.
Too bad 2D gaming has taken such a hit over the years, so many classics in the platform genre... even a lot of the "imitations" were really good. Metroid, Contra, Castlevania, Mario, Sonic to name some of the classics... Earthworm Jim, Star Wars, Alien 3 (the game based on it) for some "imitations." Those were the days!

Sega are making a new 2D sonic, Capcom brought out Bionic Commando, Wolf Of The Battlefield, SSF2T: HD Remix, Mega Man 9 & 10, Earthworm Jim is getting an HD release, Toki & Joe & Mac are both being remade in HD, Nintendo brought out Paper Mario & New Super Mario Brothers on the Wii, Konami are still doing 2D Castlevania games on the DS, you're getting great 2D games from small companies right now, World of Goo, Clover & Trials spring to mind.
Five years ago, they probably wouldn't have been able to release the majority of those titles. I know for a fact that Sony's SCEA refused to allow new 2D games on the ps2 for years, SNK got screwed over big time with that, so i'd say 2D is going strong right now & content delivery systems like PSN, Steam, Live, etc. are the best possible place for them.

There was some really poorly handled RPG stuff where you would wander around a sandbox village and bump into people who would say one thing. The Naruto game handled this stuff surprisingly well, but Sonic was just clearly a sloppy effort.
Then you'd get into the action parts and the 3D just killed it.

I hope you enjoy Mass Effect, it really is a good story. Try to skirt over the planet landing levels, I think there was a sum total of 3 that were actually of any reward.
And is the comedy still in the Spongebob games?

OK, so likely the purpose of these planet landing levels on MA is just to hone your skills for the upcoming more difficult missions.

You dont really need to do them for that either. Just money/upgrades.
You can play the whole game without doing any side quests whatsoever.
