Aussie Nintendo review Crystal Bearers
Rough around the edges, but I can't recommend this enough if you're looking for something completely different in an adventure game.

Unfortunately, I don't have another Nunchuk.
Edit: Hmm, I plugged in my Classic Controller, and no matter how much I shake the Wii Remote or gently wiggle the connector, no disconnect message appears. Looks like I need a new Nunchuk. Thanks Iga.
It's pretty average. But it looks pretty, when the slowdown isn't on screen. And yet it got better reviews then Overlord 2.
Is that the Pedobear?
The following review scores from the March 2010 edition of Game Informer…
Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth (DS) – 7.5
Aliens vs. Predator (Multi) – 5.75
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (Multi) – 9.5 / 9.5
Bioshock 2 (Multi) – 8.25
Blood Bowl (360) – 7.75
Dante’s Inferno (PS3/360) – 7 / 6.75
Divinity 2: Ego Draconis (PC) – 7
Final Fantasy XIII (PS3) – 9.25
Heavy Rain (PS3) – 9.5 / 8.5
Lunar: Silver Star Harmony (PSP) – 8
Mass Effect 2 (360) – 9.75 / 9.75
No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle (Wii) – 8.5
Puzzle Chronicles (DS/PSP) – 7
Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey (DS) – 8.75
Tropico 3 (360) – 8.75
White Knight Chronicles (PS3) – 7.25
Holy shit at Bioshock 2.
Alien VS Predator is a bummer but sort of expected. I mean, the game is made by the same guys who did Rogue Warrior!
Wow, at Battlefield Bad Company 2! Now I'm interested to check it out. Maybe it'll be a fun multiplayer game.
FFXIII got some high scores, and I'm glad Lunar scores high. Usually GI is cruel toward PSP RPGs but it looks like Lunar is a good one.
And Heavy Rain seems like a hit or miss; one may love it, the other may not. Looks like it from the main and second opinion reviews.
And it's surprising they gave WKC higher scores than the other review sites.

Yum
I get more comments from them then I do from you guys. Iga, please don't post more nude Fedor pics!
Wow, I didn't know that about AVP.
Like, too high or too low? GI is very generous with their scores, so I usually take off 1.5.
I'm guessing too low because IGN gave it a 9.2.

I'm guessing too high since GG hates Bioshock.
Holy shit, so by your assesment, Gameinformer gives it a 6.75
I don't hate it
I'm just kidding. I think its overated though. By a smidgen, I'm not saying its bad in any way.
EDIT:
I'm suprised GI reviewed it so low.
I bet it tastes like money.

__________________________
I have this wild (conspiracy) theory brewing in the back of my head: The ONE genre that has always belonged to Japan, that the West could never capture, was the RPG genre. Nothing the West produces matches the frenzy/popularity/sales of a Dragon Quest release, for example.
The video game industry is a HUGE money-maker these days and everyone wants a piece of that pie for sure...
Just as we are teetering on the brink of a revival of the JRPG on Sony's current console... and Sony HAS BEEN the market leader for the JRPG for over a decade now... suddenly Western Developers (BioWare) start spewing how the Eastern Games lack innovation, have cliched stories, etc...
...They know they have the market by the balls right now with the recent releases of Dragon Age and Mass Effect and they just DON'T want to let go...! A few months before the release of a proper Final Fantasy game, suddenly "JRPGs Suck." Website editors seem more than willing to go along with this sentiment too!
Western RPGs are JUST as cliched as JRPGs. Their battle systems have very little refinement too and are often needlessly complicated and just barely work on a console... We have been loving the amnesiac heroes and princess saving since the 1990's... but now... suddenly we're rebelling against this...? I am finding it hard to believe this is just coincidence!
The East can't match Western FPSs. We've captured the Rhythm Genre from Japan as well. The Fighting Genre isn't popular enough to catch anyone's attention at the moment. It's like the RPG genre is Japan's last stand... so the West is doing what it does best and is trying to win popular votes by a smear campaign...

Like I said this is just a theory brewing in the back of my head that I haven't totally fleshed out, but I have been raising my eyebrow's more and more in reaction to what's been going on these days with these types of games.
So there is suppossed to be some bad snow on the east coast of the US.
Anyone here from there? Edgecrusher?
Yeah it completely missed us. If it came more inland we would have gotten like 3 feet. Oddball storm, usually we get buried here but this was a coastal mover that just turned too soon.
New England didn't really get hit at all....everything to the south did.
Endless Ocean 2 has a pimp
And his name is GG
The graphics in the game are really bumped up a notch. This screen isn't even in zoom/focus mode.
More pics in the thread.
Looks snazzy on the news.
Just finished Mass Effect 2. OH. MY. GOD. Was it ever AWESOME! The ending gave me goosebumps. I can't wait to see what kind of dlc they'll bring out for it. I definitely can't wait to see how it all wraps up in the third game. So many playthroughs left for me. I want to play the renegade path, play as the other character types, and play as a new character to see the differences from the imported ME character I used. They did a great job integrating you're choices from the previous game. HUGE props to Bioware, they crafted another fantastic game.
Did you get the free dlc for early buyers?
More to add:
1Up.Com gave this game a C- as a final score. Quite a few of the users there disagree with this review, as stated in their own user-reviews. The people who actually played the game (and you can tell by their descriptions) rated it as B's and A's. The sudden JRPG haters are giving it D's... and you can tell by their short, non-specific rants, they didn't play it at all...
What I find even MORE interesting is Metacritic's Score. The lowest there is 1Up with a 43%. Ummm... I know it's been a long time since I've been in grade school... but since when is C- = 43%...?
