Imported this a good few months ago, one of my favourite games in a long time. The creepy blend of psychological horror and puzzle/platforming, as well as genuinely hilarious parts, is absolutely brilliant.

@ReadingRambo "Technology that makes no sense (horses and lasers?). CHECK
Magic that would kill entire armies, yet only used at key moments. CHECK"

THIS. Stuff like that reeeeeally bugs me. But I would replace 'key' with 'totally whimsical'. What's the point in having an army if one hero can wipe it all out? Why not just have two bloody people have a duel, gah, it doesn't even follow its own internal logic...

@Helghast102 Haha you could well be right! BUT my point still stands, especially Odin; 1.5 minutes of weird acrobatic posturing followed by a seemingly completely unrelated attack that didn't use any of the aforementioned momentum. Just seemed totally disconnected...

I don't want to jump the gun but this doesn't exactly fill me with confidence. So much of FFXIII was show for the sake of show, with no real rhyme nor reason. The summons' attacks for example, just didn't seem to make ANY sense other than a flashy song and dance before a piddly little attack. From this trailer I'd say more of the same, although I genuinely hope it's not.

Actually kind of like some of the Skyrim bugs. I think if it wasn't for them breaking my immersion every so often I would actually waste away playing that game..

Awesome list. Baten Kaitos still one of my favourite RPGs ever, the twist was brilliant and I actually loved the novel combat system, made most battles a slightly random pleasure. Lovely, LOVELY art/world design too.

And of course Eternal Darkess remains one of the best games ever made for any system. Shame Silicon Knights look pretty intent on just destroying their reputation since then...

Fantastic news! About bloody time though. Don't care about what it's called just gimme.

Does this embarrassment of riches run on macs...?

@TheChezDispenser I thought it looked really intriguing but no trial? Would be up for some co op probably though...might give it a punt at 800 points, seems like people are enjoying it...

Gutted.
