Sonic Adventure wasn't aging too well when it was re-released on the GC.

I picked up an achievement today for completing all hide-outs in 1 sitting, thought i'd already beat them all.

Ditto, it is such a great game. Loved the opening section, how it was done etc. In some ways, i do miss the Observatory Hub from the first title but in other ways i don't. I'm trying to look at how Ninty have made this (according to reviews) better than the first. Only time will tell.

If i don't speak to you before, good luck in the exam.

My copy arrived today, played 1/2 hour of it already. As many have said, it needs a proper work-out/play-through. Something i was hoping for tomorrow, i may be able to get a 1/2 day on it tomorrow. Got 2 stars, both from the first galaxy.

HMV stuff always seems to arrive on the day of release or the day after usually, hence why i don't use them for pre-orders.

Got an email from Vodafone earlier, turns out i can upgrade my phone now (something about it being within 50 days of the end of my contract). Just need to to find out how many days exact are left and i may do this.

Shall see if mine is at home when i get back. May see if i can get 1/2 a day off Friday to play it.

More pointless celebraty wanna-be's. I'll be glad when it is all over, may get some normality back TV wise.

I swear Google are copying Bing. Seriously, take a look http://www.bing.com/ http://www.google.co.uk/

Playing it now, watching the opening scene at the moment. I don't remember there being 2 parts to New Yunk, still was fun though. Game hasn't lost it's charm at all, still as good as it once was. Avatar awards, quite simple to pick-up as well.

Didn't get away with mine, somehow i got a £5 refund so i still get my game at £29.99 as before. All it took was a mention of their T+C's and how my bank didn't see GAME attempt to take the £29.99 out of my account. (The e-mail they sent is on the previous page). Ah, was kind of hoping it was HSBC (as i bank with them, and had the same problem as yourself). Mines not arrived today, a little disappointed but hey. At least i remembered the batteries for my Wii-mote this time.

Cheers Ike Purchased and awaiting download when i get home.

Do you mind if i ask who you bank with??.

Perhaps GAME message Royal Mail and tell them not to give out packages marked with GAME until Thursday. I've sent GAME a message explaining my disappointment with their service and i stated what my bank told me, so i'll see where it goes from here. Edit: GAME are refunding me £5 (which is the increase), so i only pay the £29.99 from my previous order. Get in there i say. See, contacting them does pay off. And in the case of the no believers, here is the email they sent

What time do they normally release XBLA games??. Was thinking of paying for it now, and downloading when i get home

Pretty much, yes.

Mine was posted yesterday morning as well, doubt it will be at home though. Not that i plan on going on it tonight anyway, got too much to do. Plus i need to get batteries for the Wii-mote. GAME do have that free postage which takes upto 2 days to get to wherever it needs to go in the UK.

I contacted my bank as well, they said there is nothing wrong with my credit and i'm not in arrears with anything. I have passed this information onto GAME in a strongly worded email. It will probably be one of the last times i use GAME online, unless they stop fecking around big-style. The store is pretty good, so i may pre-order via them.

Had my mate helping me with this, he covered one side of the cabin and i did the other. As soon as the legendary one showed up, i told him the colour of it and said leave that one to me. I shot that one whilst he covered me with the others. I deem it near impossible to do this legendary animal alone, due to the 1 hit k-o's. I use dead-eye in multi-player, probably one of the reasons why i keep getting voted out. I do like how the meter only increases per kill you make without using it (and also using the boxes across the land). I'm fed-up of being kicked out, but i think the sole reason is that no-one likes being shot in the head by me from 100+ yards, to be fair i don't either. But at least i don't moan and vote people out because of it.

Found all the Legendary animals in Multi-player. Only 2 i had a bit of trouble with was the Puma (consistant attacks from all angles by Cougars). and the Bear (only because i was being attacked by other gamers). Still got to find them in Single-Player, should be interesting. I keep getting into battles over a Stagecoach with another Posse, it is pretty pathetic but yet somehow really enjoyable at the same time.

I think i've only seen 1 or two videos, but mainly screen-shots. I have avoided a lot of stuff just so i can enjoy the game more, and all the new stuff will come as a surprise to me.

See above!!

Recall will be back next season, better than ever (well, we shall see anyway).
