This is down to 35 quid in game. Picked it up in there today.
Pretty quick price drop, must not be selling too well.

Cheers, thanks for that. Been waiting for this to drop in price before getting it.

Mr E

Hope you didn't get it yet...

Deal of the Day on Zavvi - £17.95

Although I think HMV are giving away AVP with it for €45, in Blanch anyway. Is AVP worth a tenner, anyone?

An expensive frisbee but as a game for a tenner it'sa rip off.

It's on sale on play.com today too. Worth comparing to Amazon I'd say.

Just over 25 euro.

Traded in my copy for ACB, it was a great game but no replay value in it whatsoever, unless you want to try and get 100% in it

Hope theres a sequel, with multiplayer

Only €21.93 (with Lenticular sleeve whatever that is) on The Hut.

shocked how old this game actually is

now that I've actually (won) a 360 I got around to buying this - and its addictive. Just straight up arcade style action, plenty of useful weapons and cover, and it's just damn fun. Boost up to a Romanov (giant robot satan) and then freeze time while you blast him down a flight of stairs with the LFE which is basically a giant blast of energy that either blows bots up or sends them flying backward. Booooooom. Plus there are these rare and not-overused or necessarily unwelcome quicktime events in the middle of regular combat that add to the gameplay's flavor, some QT event got triggered with a grunt, it was totally unnecessary, but it was gorgeous eye candy while I tore him limb from limb. Totally worth grabbing a copy, play it on hard and go HAM.

Funny that a thread on this game and on Binary Domain would be reprised on the same night. The two games are very similar in that they are both batsh*t crazy and immensely fun to play.

It's a shame Vanquish never took off. A dull story & characters, but beautiful setting and fantastic gameplay. I would really have loved to see some more games like this.

Story was great. Sure it was nonsense but it was a total piss take of western dudebro games.

Anyway you don't play a shinj mikami game for the story. When has story mattered in a game!

I wouldn't usually be into this kind of games, but once I saw how flashy it was I had to go get it. I play all my games on a 10 foot HD projector so this ticked a lot of boxes... great fun game.

I liked the characters. Sam is cool. He's cheesy as hell, and tried to play somewhere between Solid Snake's attitude, sprinkled with a little Woverine husk. But it works. He's a lovable rogue and I really enjoyed being him, and smoking cigarettes at random intervilles.

Damn it, now I'm gonna have to break out Vanquish for another playthrough. I've got Metal Gear Rising sitting here waiting for it's first play too. I can't wait to crack into that one.

The PC port of Bayonetta got a really small 22kb update today. People looked into it, and this appeared on the EXTRAS folder

This is a game which runs on Rule of Cool.

Once Sega finish porting the Platinum games can we have Shenmue and Skies of Arcadia pretty please?

Fantastic Game

I've been waiting on Xbox 1 backwards compat for so long, still nothing.
PC Port fingers crossed

Out on PC on May 25th.

Possibly the best third person shooter of the decade.

I need to make a choice. Buy it now for bonuses like in Bayonetta + 25% discount. Or play my friend's copy who family shares with me yet never touches his library. Sometimes he has to re-initialise my computer for sharing.

Screw it, buying it now. This is one I'll want in my library forever after anyway.

Was this not out on PC a few years ago???
