Quite possibly one of the best games ever? I think so...

Anyone else got it?

[The_Tank]

Not yet, possible own it after work, only heard good things.

I got it on friday morning and completed it on saturday morning.
It is quite short but I'm loving it.

This is quite possibly the best game I have ever played.


Quick question: Has anyone found a way to disarm the booby trapped gargoyles?

I am not going to believe the hype. I will pick it up in about a year or so when it is down to a tenner.

Not really, he gets the game and for cheaper than what you paid for it. His gain really.

It is a really good game and it's well worth playing, but if you can handle waiting until a price drop, do so

Not at all. "One of the best games ever"? Are you serious? It just looks like a run-of-the-mill 3rd person action game. People said the same thing about God of War and that was just a dumbed down version of Devil May Cry, yet it was critically acclaimed. Yeah it was fun, but you can't really compare it to the likes of Doom, A Link to the Past/Ocarina and Super Mario Bros., all of which set a new standard or completely redefined their respective genre - even the video game industry itself.

No-one will care about this game in a year, and many will look back on it and go "yeah, it was good fun, but it's just another game in a stagnant genre".

Nothing compares to Escape From The Planet Of The Robot Monsters!

Looks like?!?! So you haven't played this game then?

Tell me, what exactly are you basing these strong views upon?
