I’m in chapter 4 and I’m very satisfied with the game so far. It’s a real palette cleanser after playing so many shooters. How are you liking the game?

Thank you for posting your impressions, i never played the original alice game but this one looks like a breath of fresh air into this era of first person shooter games, every gamer nowadays need more old school plattforming games like this with unique combat, visuals and art direction, im getting this for my 360, i dont know what IGN and other game journalists were thinking when they reviewed this game, i read the official neogaf impressions thread about this game and almost everyone is enjoying the game so far, everyone agrees is a solid 8 score game.

Definelty getting NBA 2K11. The demo looked amazing. Plus it features his Airness.

Comic Jumper and Rock Band 3 for me. Likely another XBLA game as well to get the 800 pts back. Perhaps Deathspank or its sequel.

I went with Castlevania instead of Enslaved because I heard Castlevania was 20 hours long whereas Enslaved was only 8-10. Gotta get more bang for my buck!

I’ll definitely be writing up some impressions and possibly a review once I beat it. Initial consensus is good though, I haven’t ready anything specific, but the Metacritic score for it is in the mid 80′s which is promising.

I love Castlevania — in fact, it’s probably my favorite video game series. I’ve never had good experiences with the 3D games though, so naturally I’m kind of wary of this one. But I’m looking forward to hearing what you think about it, and possibly getting it if it turns out to be worthwhile!

Hey John, my friend Marc from the “With Great Power” blog sent me this link and said you’re interested in finding a site that talks about comics.

I just started a blog called “Legion of Losers” and was wondering if you want to be one of the authors. Check it out over at http://wearethelegion.blogspot.com and let me know.

That’s some pretty good insight. I think finding the game without someone telling you how good it is gives you an extra sense of ownership over your experience with it.

Metacritic can be a pretty good tool to use in that manner.

There’s other alternatives that I use as well. If it’s too much of a gamble, I’ll use either Gamefly or Goozex and play the game that way so I don’t commit a $60 purchase.
