It's good.

ICO good (even if such a comparison fails to emphasise the uniqueness of Journey).

Cannot imagine this being anything other than game of the year. Remarkable stuff.

Looks good, Might have to get some money in my wallet for that

Professey Chin · 15-03-2012 12:26AM

It is indeed. Download it in the haste!

Pretty much single-handily justifies the existence of online multiplayer :pac:

Jack burton · 15-03-2012 12:30AM

Just read a gameplay synopsis there.

Seems very good, long game?

yeah I'll get money tomorrow for it, need to get Scott Pilgrim aswell

Professey Chin · 15-03-2012 12:32AM

Youll have it beaten in a couple of hours
And you wont want it longer or shorter, youll just be happy

o1s1n · 15-03-2012 12:34AM

Yeah, a game that proves once and for all games do not have to be a certain length.

It's around two hours long, but there's so much emotion and beauty packed in there it's perfectly considered.

You really can't think of it in traditional gaming terms. It is Journey, and it is a triumph.

Jack burton · 15-03-2012 12:40AM

Ah ****, I forgot I gave me PS3 a loan to a friend so he cold beat MGS 4, looks like it will be next week when I get to play this

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy · 15-03-2012 01:07AM

hadn't listened to this in ages, jazzy live version

decided to find more and saw them do Song of Storms on yt. The Runaway Five website has a cover of Fourside, SMB and Zelda's Lullably. Maybe Sparks will like Zelda covers

Going to pale next to my endeavours to defeat Dark Souls using a guitar controller though.

(an aside: any ever think that in Goldeneye just looks like two pencils glued together?)

You know it would be impressive if not for the fact that the game has so much auto aim that it practically plays itself, and that's no exaggeration.

Heard my friend tell me that it tries too hard. A bit like Limbo where it's got the visuals down and is desperately trying to be deep but is ultimately very shallow. Will try it myself but I got the very same feeling from Flower, which I enjoyed in spite of it and the awful motion controls.

Your friend has no soul :pac:

As a sensory experience, there's nothing like it. It doesn't aim to be deep: it simply aims to provide a unique experience for the player, and it succeeds magnificently.

I really liked Flower, but this is on a different level altogether. It has to be played online, too.

Another Linux based handheld for us to run our emulators on(a UK based company this time). The specs wont rock the world and the D pad doesn't look that great but it's worth keeping an eye on, maybe.

But any retro places in LA I should be looking out for?

Pick us up a us snes and fix me up with Kat von d while you're there. Ta!

o1s1n · 15-03-2012 05:13PM

Kat Von D? I hope that's just for free tattoos? She looks more and more like Cher every time I see her.

Then again, maybe Cher is your thing?

DinoRex · 15-03-2012 05:17PM

In retrospect thinking that just because I knew my way around LA Noire would mean I'd know my way around LA was rather foolish.

When's the new GTA due out? That might be more useful.

Free tattoos and sex. Not even going to lie.

Jack burton · 15-03-2012 05:42PM

Eugh...gwayoutthat! Kat Von D is minging. There are way nicer fancy women to have, especially if your into the whole tattooed look and stuff

oooohhhhh you're my best friend

she looks like a rat and/or needs a shower, like Johnny Depp and Russell Brand.
She'd an ad ages ago and she was like "DATS INCWEDABUUUH", it's all I think of when I see her

DinoRex · 15-03-2012 06:17PM

Had to look her up on google image search... Does she have a Trill symbiont?
