    Alien Versus Predator Demo

    Yikes... I think I'll hold off on the demo.

    I already pre-ordered it a while back in the hope that it would be at least half as fun as the first two. Playing as the marine in the original was pure dread and panic. The whole atmosphere of it would creep me the fuck out- the lack of light, xenos scurrying all around you, and the sound of the motion tracker. Hard to believe that was over a decade ago.

    As far as upcoming games, AvP and FFXIII are a must. I'm actually really really really looking forward to AvP- campaign and especially online play.

    From the previous year, I'm gonna have to save up for Demons Souls and Fallout 3: GotY Edition

    Edit: Almost forgot about SH: Shattered Memories PS2 style.

    Effects of that magnitude taken to the next level in gaming *ESPECIALLY* for Elder Scrolls V would be outstanding. And ya know, maybe bettering the whole dialogue headlock/creepy eye thing Yahtzee always brings up in his reviews...

    Either way, imo, Cameron has set a new standard in that respect.

    I found myself having to push those glasses back up my nose more often than I would have liked. Either I have a goody shaped nose or it's the fact that I hate wearing glasses. Whatever.

    Going to see it again tonight. 8)

    FUCKING OUTSTANDING

    Mr. Cameron has come through again. The rather generic storyline worked perfectly... I mean, shit, you're having a visual orgasm for 2.5 hrs. Pile as much confusion and irony that Memento had and someone is bound to have an aneurysm. Will go again.

    Bought Shattered Memories on Tuesday. Since I pre-ordered it from Gamestop, I got a free OST disc with the game. (Which had 21 tracks. Not 18 )

    First impression...

    Wait a sec... let me explain something.

    This game was so short that I was done in less than 5 hours. Considering the psych profile feature, I decided to play another round immediately after. Since I knew what I was doing this time, the game ended faster. About just over 4 hours. So I went ANOTHER round immediately after that. So because of this, let me start like this...

    First, second, and third impressions...

    This is a GREAT game! I've never played a game like this and I highly enjoyed it! The story grabs you from scene one and never let's you go. The graphics are slick, smooth and definately shows what the Wii really is capable of. The snow alone will should tell you that. The voice acting is spot-on and very convincing.

    The chase scenes in the frozen nightmare areas, however, get a little repetitive. The first couple of chases feel absolutely horrifying. But that feeling gets smaller and smaller the more chases you go through. And when you can't find your way to the waypoint, it's just irritating when those little pink bastards grab a hold of you.

    Playing the game through 3 times (in a day, even) I got different results in certain parts of the game. The first time through, Cybil was a tough, fit and angry ass cop. The second time she was a more neutral-looking, mother-sounding officer. The third time she was dead sexy and busting out of her uniform....but also very angry. (Kind of a turn on for m- AHEM!)

    Out of the 3 play throughs, i got 2 different endings (not spoiling anything). I'm told there's more than that so that means I gotta go through it AGAIN or else i'm not gonna feel complete.

    Overall, definately worth the buy and a great reimagining of the first game. It's a little short, but that shouldn't stop you from adding it to your Wii collection.

    Goody! Most of the reviews say as much.

    Hopefully it can get rid of some of the bitter taste that Homecoming left. Not to say it was terrible- just not up to par. Given the fact that I don't have a Wii, I'll just have to wait for the PS2 release next month.
