Despite all of the weird design choices in Heavy Rain, I loved it a whole lot too. It really deserves a another playthrough or two...

Linkmaster30000 is making it. I'm just copying the URL from his page.

I do try my best.

Unfortunately my fire-type doesn't learn flamethrower for 12 more levels...

Case closed / Detective Conan is such a great show! I just watched the first 5 movies and they were incredible. So how's GOW3? I've been meaning to pick it up, but really busy with FFXIII and .hack//LINK.

I've got an idea for a run for you. Play through AC II without upgrading your armor. I think that would be difficult enough.

Call me crazy, but I've decided that I need to collect all the chests in order to have AC II. There's still so much to do in this game! Why did I ever stop!?

All the feathers, statues, codex, and glyphs... god damn. I am envious!

I may end up going for the treasure chests on top of that, just so I can feel like I truly have completed it.

I'm thinking maybe you could skip collecting all the treasures for . There aren't any achievements for them, and there are far to many of them to make that type of collectathon even close to fun. But, it's up to you.

How much more stuff do you have to collect in order to Assassin's Creed II?

in regards to my post below...I went out and picked up a used copy of AC1 for $10 today. i figure if I only focus on playing the actual game and ignoring all the collect-a-thon elements in the game I may enjoy it more...hopefully

I think trying to find the flags/templars in the last game were what set me over the edge with boredom

Let me know what you think of AC2 when you do pick it up and how much it differs from the first

read your page note...and although I'm getting CoDMW2 at launch (well actually its in the mail being delivered...sooner or later...) the only reason i picked it up was because Future Shp was having a $30 off sale on the game 1 night only (to pre-order) about a month back. Seeing as you'd never see it for $39 again in a long time I figured it was the right choice to pick it up.

I've always been meaning to give AC another chance as well in preparation for its sequel but the first game was just a train wreck for me. I think I managed roughly 2-3 hours into it before I was flat out bored of doing everything in it. I should pick up another copy of it cheap and give it a shot but who knows when I'll have time for it. Not that i was ever going to buy AC2 day one anyway but the game still looks great and something I'd be willing to try for $29 or so down the line.

anyways enjoy AC2 when it hits

Just don't get it... everyone (it seems) is on this insane hype train that totally blows my mind. I mean, I'm sure the game is good, but it's just another shooter. It will sell tons of copies, and I'll be having a great time with Assassin's Creed II instead, as will you.

I've decided not to buy the Assassin's Creed II limited edition on the grounds that I could buy Dead Space with that money instead.

Having a game feels good, doesn't it?

Apparently Bungie dumbed down the difficulty so that Heroic is the right setting if you have played Halo games before. Sorry to be that guy, but no: you're not as good as you suddenly think you are.

I've never been as interested in Halo as some of my friends have been, but ODST looks kind of cool.

You bought it! Nice!

A banner!? Shock and awe! Nice pick.

Dynasty Warriors? Does that imply having a gazillion guys on screen at once?
