Sounds more of a "paid beta" scenario to me:

He continued, "EA’s view is that the PDLC costs a lot less to develop (essentially, it’s the first few levels of the full-blown game), and they have the opportunity to fix whatever needs to be fixed in the packaged product that is released a few months later, whether that entails doing more of what people like or doing less of what they don’t like. It sounds like a brilliant strategy to me." Gamasutra has contacted EA for further clarification about the new strategy.

Still shit, in my opinion. Unless the money paid could net you a discount off the final product. Which I don't see happening.

 Never been a fan of hubs.  All you do is walk around, it doesn't add to the game.  In Psychonauts the hub was the worst part fo the game, you could even get lost.

So are you going to give me the experience of playing LCS through the internet somehow. Nyaa

So, didn't anyone here get Metro 2033? I just finished it (on PC). Very polished, no bugs whatsoever encountered (cool, for an Eastern European game). Run great on Very High DX10 settings, without advanced physx enabled. Only had some big fps dips in certain short spots, and mostly outside action gameplay so it didn't affect the experience. The levels were really large with some room for exploration and the paths felt natural. At times you'd think you were exploring off the beaten path and  yet reach the end of the level. Loading was really speedy.

Great game. Extremely atmospheric. Great visuals (perhaps not as great as people say, still some weird character models and stuff). Great audio. I read there are two endings so I'll go back to it after I give it a rest for a while to get the other. It's right up there with the best single player FPS. Certain elements may not be great (hate some damage sponge enemies) but the game's more than the sum of its parts in the end. Personally I enjoyed it far more than Bioshock. If only STALKER was so polished and technically sound I would have loved it as well (games are nothing alike other than setting, just saying).

So yeah, it won't make you feel like a badass or whatever people are into these days, but it's a cool action packed moody story with little explanation but tons of atmosphere. Maybe a rental is best for most gamers given the limited replayability and lack of any multiplayer or whatever people think is a requirement these days, but I loved it.

ONM scans, of their Red Steel 2 review. It scored a 93%

http://forums.gametrailers.com/thread/official-red-steel-2-thread/848287?page=22

Just picked up the latest copy of ONM and according to them they have the world's first review of Red Steel 2. Needless to say, they gave it a 93%. They said it looks incredible, controls are well done, combat is perfectly pitched, well balanced but has a few control issues.

 That was fast.  It sounds great from the review I just posted above.  But sadly for THQ, I think it's going to get overlooked given the games it is competing with for dollars and time. 

When was the last major FPS released? BBC2?  That is probably what they were timing the release off of.

Also, you can post where you want, but some of us prefer that when someone puts as much time as you did into your impressions that you start a thread in the gaming forum about the game.  That way it's easier to find later and build a conversation around.  Sometimes posts like this are lost in the transitory GGWeekly section.

It's this, only slightly more fun.  

Now buy a third party wii game at full price. Or get a PSP and MGS. You're choice, Iga will have your ass otherwise!

Plus is the sequel!

 I'm gonig to pass.  I think I'll get enough out of the original DS-Korg. Plus I don;t have a DSi yet.

 is it based on different korg synths/drum machines or does it just have more features?  i wish they would do DS versions of more of them.  those things have become impossible to afford

Well here it is, time to see if he meant it. 

No doubt several 70% reviews will now show up to save his ass Nyaa

Official Nintendo magazine

"This is probably the best third party wii game we've played in recent memory. A great deal of thought has gone into every aspect of Red Steel 2. The visual design is stellar, but most importantly its evident that ubisoft has put the necessary amount of time into making sure the controls and the balance are (almost) pitch perfect. It's been a long time coming but finally we have it. After watching Shiggy waggle the wii remote on stage at E3 2006 and having our ballooning expectations deflated, we now have the sword game we all wanted. It's taken new technology and the best part of three and a half years to get it, but precious few will argue that it hasn't been worth the wait. Red Steel 2 is finally here and it's awesome."

Jack the Ripper game confirmed (story above).

I don't think it's appropriate to profit  from  games/ movies about real world serial killers.  I support their right to make stuff like this, it's just not for me.

I know it was from 150 years ago, or whatever, but it's no different if they made a game about Jeffrey Dahmer or Charlie Manson.
