I can see why! Bayonetta and the way that she moves = H-O-T ! ! !

I even liked the Jeanne and Bayonetta dance sequence at the very end!

I found out this morning that I am not a fan AT ALL of games that impose time limits to make the game more suspenseful.

I finished Dead Rising: Case 0, installed Dead Rising 2, started to play it. then decided it just wasn't my thing. I'm actually quite sad as I was highly anticipating this game. Yeah, it's fun. Yeah, it's gory. The spectre of the time-clock hanging over my head as I play though. No Thanks.  sad

I also found out that I just don't care to play Viva Piñata. I am looking for a great sim game, and that's basically what it is, but the type of gamer I have become lately, I find I just don't want to sit and watch crap happen. Sad. This was another game I always told myself, if I got a 360, I would HAVE TO play.

Oh well!

Agree with you completely on games with time limits.  I said virtually the same thing in my comment on Vader's review of DR2

I know its a pain. But you really do get used to it and it becomes a very important part of the game. But at the start its annoying cause its very strict without much leeway to do anything. Pretend its a linear game at the start, ignore that you can explore the area, just do the objectives and in time you will have more time to do things.

I always hated time limit games as well and that's why I never got very far in to Dead Risding and may never play DR2.  Majora's Mask did it right.  Time Travel!

I just found out today that Phantasy Star Universe: Ambition of the Illuminus for the 360 has --NO-- Single-Player component --AT ALL-- ! ! !

I was looking forward to fighting some of the classic bosses from previous games in the expansion (Mother Brain).

This news pissed me off sooo much (even more so since the single player --IS-- in the PS2 and PC versions) that I decided to quit the game and trade it in!

Oh well!

Onto Fable 3!

Fable 3 eh?  I see you are taking my advice of playing games for which you have low expectations.

I've just become the King of Albion.

*sigh!*

I guess that means I should stop running around in my Boxer Briefs.

Really disappointed in Fable 3's ending. Half of the game is typical Fable, action-wise, MINUS a lot of the morality, game-changing factors. The second half is a TEDIOUS string of Quests and Kingdom Running Decisions, that has ONE HUGE, SERIOUS flaw: You are given ONE YEAR to amass enough money to defend an impending attack on Albion. Heaven help you if you've completed most of the side-quests by that point in the game, cause if you did, you'll find yourself running around aimlessly trying to pass time until your rent and profits from the homes and businesses you own give you cash. (You need to save $6,500,000.)

As if the tedium isn't bad enough, THINGS GET WORSE: It's not entirely impossible or even that hard to make the money --BUT-- time passes in chunks. It goes from (something like) 292 days 'til the attack to 216 days 'til the attack... From 121 days 'til the attack to --FUCKIN'-- THE DAY OF THE ATTACK ! ! ! 121 days to THE. LAST. DAY. ? ! ?

They don't give you a warning. They don't let you make preparations on that last day. If you have $6,400,000... TOO BAD!

Game Saves. You're SCREWED. Thanks for playing for 20-odd hours...! WHAT. THE. FUCK?

I think I am done with LionHead Games for a long while!
