WTF?!

It looks amazing already.

Love it. But let's hope it's better than Shadows of the Damned eh?

So it is Buffy the zombie slayer after all.

Looks like the sort of thing Platinum would do. But comes as no surprise Grasshopper are involved.

If it plays as good as Bayonetta I think I'll be having it away on its little twinkly toes.

Sigh. I should probably try to finish this, but I've got halfway through and keep insta-dying - and I can't recall the controls to dig my way out of trouble.

I'm doing the bit where Paula chases you. She catches me and I die immediately. Am I just forgetting the run button?

Other than that: one of the most forgettable over-hyped games in years. Nerds need to calm the fuck down with their reccommendations.

I got to the bit where you get attacked on top of a small area on a roof and I decided that I'd rather play something fun.

Thank fuck I rented it.

I think I got as far as the boss that chases you through the market and you have to keep shooting the exploding light barrels. I got very bored very quickly.

They keep raving about it on Weekend Confirmed and while it's a shame it didn't do better, it didn't live anywhere near up to its promise and it wasn't even as good as other similar sub-Gears of War Unreal Engine powered games such as Wanted: Weapons of Fate - which I actually persvered with right to the end.

I loved Wanted - although the controls weren't the most intuitive. I'm still mopping up the super-tough achievements on it.

Yeah I thought that was very much an under-rated game. I also meant to try Dark Sector as that appeared to have a similar vibe and was also received in a rather lukewarm fashion.

I thought Dark Sector was OK. Can't remember who I gave my promo copy to in the end.

I STILL love Dark sector! Was thinking about a replay earlier today, actually.

As I recall, you hated it. And loved Condemned 2. I think that thread was where we began to drift apart, emotionally. ;)

Hmmmm could be right, can't even remember where it got reviewed (possibly 'the dark place that existed before AATG came back)

It's probably no consolation to you that I went back and had another go at Condemned 2 a few months ago and found it completely unplayable :)

So you didn't get to the boss on a horse that shits darkness and that was the way you killed it?

I don't mind weird but Christ that was just stupid.

@Whizzo - no I didn't get to that boss. Sounds intriguing.

I only persevered as far as I did because I wanted to try the 2D side-scrolling bits. Still haven't seen them in action.
