I keep forgetting Skyward Sword is so close!
Most reports seem to suggest the freshest Zelda in some time, so consider me excited. I know barely anything about it too, which is all too rare these days.
Pissed off I have to invest in Motion Plus for it though

Zelda's going to be the same price long after Skyrim has seen big drops. Best get the former to keep you busy 'til the latter does so.0 -

You do indeed! Might be best starting with A Wild Sheep Chase and its sequel (of sorts) Dance Dance Dance - they're mental, but only moderately so. Or you can just dive straight in with the brain enema - I mean that in the nicest possible way - that is Kafka on the Shore.SdoowSirhc wrote: »Skyward Sword or Skyrim?:(
Dark Souls :P
I'm going to keep an eye out for these motion plus badboys. They're relatively cheap, right? The special edition is nice but I don't want to pay a good bit more if I can get the mo+ for a fiver or tenner.
Edit: ugh, fifteen pound on amazon. Cheaper to just get the special edition by the looks of it.0 -

I'm not allowing myself to get it untilEnjoying Arkham City a lot.
Don't think there's a huge amount of play in it though unless you have OCD, which seems to be the market they're catering too as there are zillions of pretty pointless collectibles to get along the way.
a/ I finish AA
b/ I finish doing the last part of the batman gaming retrospective for gamersireland.ie ,dont know why but the first two have taken me aaages longer than my other videos
and THEN I can get it0 -

Damn,
I have to start Batman:AC
I have to get past the start of Dark Souls
I have to find the fundage for Zelda:SW
And I have to dig even deeper to get the lovely collectors edition of Skyrim!
I have started Batman, got my DLC installed and everything is groovy.
Slight pity that mere, occasional button presses seem to make you incredibly powerful in fact I only feel marginally in control of the fight scenes at all, am I the only one that feels this way?
Otherwise it great.
As for Dark Souls, I hang my head in shame, I never picked up the broadsword and so was trying to get places with a broken sword hilt...
A quick look about after a not so quick hour or so of getting my ass whupped meant I was in the game proper and lovely it is too, once again it ties with Ico for having a wonderful sense of "place" about it, if you know what I mean.0 -

It was the same with the first game. The hand to hand combat is really shallow but it works and is fun.

As the author says there's a bit too much japanese stuff there but there's some great tracks there I just discovered, especially the one from Higarashi.

You just need to get past the first few hours. They're really tough, but probably the best game tutorial you'll ever play. Once you get past the Undead Chapel (or church, whatever) you begin making actual progress and the game just transforms through the skills you were forced to learn.
And then addiction sets in. It's just brilliant. It will give you dopamine highs!0 -

Seeing as you love Ico, if I were you I'd put Batman down and stick to just playing Dark Souls. It's damn hard, sometimes you feel like crying, but **** is it a good game! I'll freely admit to having punched the air several times after beating bosses. Total time eater though, I can't put it down. Been on boards a lot less as a result :eek:
I haven't played the new Batman game, but it's many many times better than AA.0 -

I'm disappointed to see LA Noire isn't listed there. The theme composition is absolutely immense. One of my favourite soundtracks.
When I first got LA Noire I'd leave the game on the title screen for ages just to hear the lovely theme. Haven't bought the soundtrack yet but it is on iTunes so a purchase is imminent.
I'd go so far as to say the theme is one of the 10 best of all time. Yes. I went there.
