That Guy

Yeah that's exactly what I've found. I love that it's there. When I play something like Zelda I don't bother wandering off and doing my own thing because I worry I'll get lost, spend ages wandering around, get bored and turn it off. My Xbox was on from about 2 this afternoon until about 15 minutes ago playing this game with just a few short pauses throughout. Love it so far. I wasn't all that excited for it but just had to force myself to put it down. Got myself a house, wife and kid :p Seemed weird when I screen came up asking if I wanted protected or unprotected sex. Only problems for me are (and I noticed Giant Bomb had the exact same issues) the map system, and not being able to easily find stuff in the towns, and the item system. Was so annoying when I had loads of books to teach the dog stuff and I had to scroll through the whole list each time. Other than that it's one of the best games I've played this year. Just don't know when I'm going to have chance to play it next...

I've not really been that excited for this game but now it's nearly here I am slowly getting excited for it. Will be playing it all of friday when I have a day off, especially now LBP isn't out this week.

I like it as well. As many people aren't I'm not a fan of that massive load of grey at the bottom of the screen on some of the themes. Everything else is looking good though. Not really a massive fan of the avatars, they might be fun to mess around with, but I'm not sure it's a better way of browsing a friends list than the current system is.

I bought it earlier. I've never really played too much Wipeout before so started with the pilot assist on and it's not really hard at all so far (I'd imagine it'd hard as fuck if I turned the difficulty up :p) It's good though, glad I got it.

I am absolutely loving Viva Pinata TiP. It's even better than the first game. Love it

Looks pretty decent really. I'm definitely happy with the way it looks anyway. I was worried it'd look a bit arse like. I used to play a little at my mates house and really liked it and wanted to play through the whole game but never owned my own N64, so glad I'll finally get to play through it. For free as well

Not even noticed this game until today, watched the IGN video review and it looks really good. Might have to pick this up soon. I'm all for supporting games that are a bit different as well as actually good.

Same, I've cancelled and re-ordered at GAME. I'll stick with Gameplay usually (not that it really matters).

They're not, I emailed to ask and they said there's been no discussion about it and to just check to website. I'm just gonna pre order on GAME.

Wow, £12 is pretty good. I shall be buying.

Good good. That sounds like a good addition. I can't afford it yet anyway. Might get it for christmas.

One of the only things that I found with the first game was when I didn't know how to even get a pinata to come near my garden. Is that easier now then?

The challenges bit sounds good. Giant Bomb scored it 4/5, video review on their site if anyones interested. I want it

Well I'm poor for the next 2 months, but may well buy it depending on opinion. I'm thinking I will pick it up at the end of November. How different is it from the first one? If you'd had enough of that one will you really want to play another 20 hours of this one?

Played PJ Eden with my girlfriend yesterday. Hate the co-op! It's just annoying as to which one the camera decides to follow. Wont be playing it co-op again.

Agree with that, I think it's coming along nicely. Much better than the clunky Blades being used right now.

The number of games I could buy this year is ridiculous. I wont be getting this game this year, but I'd like to try it at some point. Probably a game for early next year for me.

That's good to hear. I just got back into ToD. Some parts of it annoy me, and I do find it goes on a little bit, but I really like it. As I've not money right now I can't get the new one so will have to wait a few months for it. How long is it?

My car failed an MOT today and it's costing £235 to fix, on top of the £50 for the test, and then £26 for a retest. So I've had to cancel Viva Pinata 2, and Gears of War 2 for now. :-( Hopefully Banjo Kazooie and Fable 2 will make up for it.

I'm really looking forward to this game. I really like the cool different stuff PS3s offering. Really glad I bought one now.

WTF. How the hell is that possible?! :p My best is only 4 and a half million...

You should definitely get a HDMI cable as you can then upscale DVDs which makes them look better. And as was said, Heavenly Sword I think is excellent.

That's what I did today on both Pacifism and Evolved I'm still nowhere near the mentalist players scores, but considering how bad I generally am at this game I think 12 million is decent.

Congratulations! I was nervous as fuck for my test, I'd had a car for 2 months when I took mine, knew I was fully ready to drive, and knew it's be another 2 months before doing it again if I failed. Passed first time luckily. I was going down a road at 60mph, and nearly missed the junction round the bend in the road, had to slam the brakes on. Luckily I only go a minor for it cos I still stopped in time. I love driving, I can't imagine not having a car now.

I thought it was pretty bad as well to be honest. I totally see what the fuss is about with the multiplayer, but the single player I thought was fairly crap. I played through the whole lot co-op though which was what made it fun.
