Which mode should I play, explain the difference again?

i think there's easy and normal.  i played normal (the option on the right), and it was about right.  if you were asking if you should play as the guy or the girl, you need to do both as they are separate stories which run sort of parallel.  i was alternating between the two after beating a boss usually.

 I thought there was action or rpg mode?

 in muramasa?  i don't know, mine just played like an action-rpg.  thought the options were just to do with the difficulty since one said something like "if you're a noob pick this" and the other "experienced gamers click here".  

the gameplay is all non-stop 2D action but you gain experience and levels (which allows you to use more powerful swords etc)

 So the game doesn't clearly specify which mode you get?

 this is the first i hear about there being 2 different modes.  like i said i thought it was just the difficulty option

 What the hell? Try the other difficulty and get back to me.

Not to lump too many good games on you at once, but DA: O is absolutely worth owning.

 i got it in the end.  15quid seemed too good a deal to let slip.  it's still a relatively new game going for over 30 in most places.

is it in any way comparable to demon's souls?  i'm still not sure i'm completely over that particular addiction

Just bought Sin and Punishment 2 for €45,-.

Okay, that's just a 5 euro's less than normal.

But wait there is more!

I also bought Punch-Out and Dizastah, for 10 euro's each.

10 motherfucking Euro's.

Punch-out does not work Sad

Damn have to return it tomorrow.

I bought it for £36 which possibly makes it the most expensive Wii game I ever bought (without a peripheral) and about £10 more expensive than 3rd Wii party games usually launch at.

No complaints though.

I knew Iga was a decent man so I didn't include him in the shit list to begin with.  As for the rest of yous ...

Why, why were you born assholes?

 Why did it not work though?  Problematic disc or wii issue?

 It would not read the disc and an error will occur causing me to shut down my Wii. All other games worked fine, so definitely a disc error.

Uncharted 2 released in platinum in a couple weeks.  Mine for a measly 15 quid.  I love the platinum/hobo range!

bioshock 2 is getting quite cheap.  i'm tempted.

i liked the original, but apparently not enough to complete it, so I don't know if i should get number 2.  i'm going through a stingy phase now as i may soon have to cut all unnecessary expenses and live much more frugally so maybe i should resist... and try finishing the first one instead
