Never played the original, seeing as I never had the means to. I mostly picked it up out of sheer curioisity - I never owned an Xbox back in the day, and it's one of those things I saw recently and thought that it'd be at least worth playing, just to see what all the fuss was about. It'll also be the same excuse if I happen to come across Panzer Dragoon Orta or Jet Set Radio Future. It's also the way I plan to catch up on Oddworld, because the same store had a copy of Munch's Oddysee that I'll need to play one of these days.

There is the digest, but there's also a DVD movie that comes with the game that goes even further. Picking it up used though, it doesn't have it - but I found the full thing (I think - it's 90 minutes long) on Google Video, so I'll brush up on that before I start.

Good luck with that. I guess you can still enjoy it but it would work better if you played the original. The second is better though, lot more to do and they cut out most of the crappy stuff from part 1.

That Dog Whisperer guy, Cesar Milan is pretty awesome.

You have like a dog that is jumping around knocking its owner over. And Cesar comes in and makes the dog his bitch in 5 seconds flat. Maybe we can use him to cure Vader's Sonic syndrome?

It's possible, but I don't know. The PC port is dodgy, it has practically no options whatsoever, just resolution and vsync. It runs well though.I think it has some weird post processing that makes the colors muted and not so vibrant but I'm not sure, PR shots on the steam store page look the same really, so, no clue.

erk, baleet.

I guess this finally answers the mystery of Kirby's sex... Damn, Kirb! My man!

Foolz/ Homr, watching the Finals? I'm backing the Pies. Aftrr a good start VERY sloppy play from both sides, but they tightened it up.  Foolz are you not from StK?

Am watching it. Not from ST. Kilda, though (Richmond). I am barracking for a close match! Well that failed.

Probably rather St. Kilda win. You know, everyone's meant to hate Collingwood!

I'm a fan of the actual birds (I've saved two of their lives), so I'm for the Magpies.  Good game, and I love that they have to come back next week, THAT is a manly way of solving a tie.  It's good for everyone, the fans, the city, the athletes get another chapter in their books down the line.

The athletes and fans looked pretty upset about it. Are you saying AFL players and fans aren't manly? Agreed.

It actually is pretty good! Zelda like adventure with God of War style combat. Overall solid, fun game! If you can find my topic in Gaming Discussion, I was ranting and raving about it earler this year!

How is Darksiders anyway?

Is really a Zelda clone? Or just an action game with some dungeons thrown in?

I quite like it. Zelda pacing with how combat vs exploration & puzzles are divided (even using similar items, such as a boomerang-like blade that transfers fire or other properties from one lock on to the next), with Devil May Cry combat (using souls to buy upgrades or all new skills and consumables, though some bosses are also more like Zelda as you use certain items to cause a particular reaction that allows you to damage them) and some God of War gore (bloody finishers with your character  chopping limbs off and impaling enemies, most impressive for bosses). There's a bit of Castlevania or Soul Reaver likeness depending on the area and some of the skills, like the gliding, and even a dodgy Panzer Dragoon sequence.

I would love to see a modern PoP, as well as AC.
