    This is the only place i've seen positive responses to the Duke demo. Never been a Duke fan so i'm not interested but it's a bit difficult to avoid hearing about it. Personally my game for this month will be Alice, until that comes out i'm not really playing anything.

    I was coming here to post this. Every other site where I've read impressions about the demo has been 100% negative.

    Mr. Spencer, Agent_Wong, and anyone else who's played Noire - did either of you use any list for helping find the remaining cars you missed in LA Noire? If so, can you point me in it's direction.

    I've found around 70 without any help, but I've given up trying to find more without any help.

    What am I not playing? I'm also playing L.A. Noire, I'd say I'm about halfway since I'm on disc 2 out of the 3 on the 360 version. I'm loving it, anyone who hasn't yet should go buy it because it's unique and offers so much value

    My dad recently got a PS3 so I've picked up Motorstorm 2, LBP and Uncharted. I also got Batman: Arkham Asylum the other day. I'm still playing Portal 2 for achievements, and still on my second playthrough of Dead Space 2. Then there's my pile of unfinished games: Prototype, MvC3, Torchlight, Assassin's Creed (I also have AC2 for when I'm finished with the first), Nintendogs, Pilotwings, and I've yet to even open The Saboteur. There could be more on my shelf I'm forgetting. I think I have a problem please, someone stop me buying Duke and Ocarina this month.

    And I love Streets of Rage 2. It's one of the first games I've played and it's still timeless today, I still play it occasionally. So many games, and unfortunately not enough time to play them.

    Hope it helps, it's got pictures of locations as well as the vehicles themselves.

    I'd love to but unfortunately I've been super busy as of late, though I'll see what I can do.

    I'm only 5 minutes into InFAMOUS, and Zeke is already bugging the shit outta me.
    I lost my first mission because I killed him. ..

    Please tell me if I take the evil route I'll get to kill him.. permanently.

    No sadly. It's okay, he'll get kinda more annoying but less frequent as the game goes on.

    Cheers Mr. Spencer, I've had no luck using the guide so far but I did note sometimes it's still random or based on time of day and I haven't yet tried the showroom trick thats there which will be worth trying.

    Edit - Re: DNF demo, apparently it's the same alpha code demo which was shown off at PAX September last year, and the final game sports some improvments. Doesn't seem like a sane idea to release such an old demo code because it's gotten a lot of negative comment. I'd say more, but everything else I could would just be a copy of where I read it:

    Started horsing around with Black Ops on the ps3, I'm not sure if it's just the game itself or my off brand controller but the look stick is very sensitive. On the 360 I have my sensitivity set to 3 and it's just the way I like it, but on the ps3 if I have it at 3 if I just slightly move the right stick it sends my view skyward in like no time.

    Also played some Dead Nation (thank you Sony), and I must say it's quite addictive.

    I completely agree. I only got about 3 or so of the main missions done before I was done. Everyone told me how great this game was, but it really wasn't my thing at all. In concept, it really sounds like a game I would like, but no...Annoying characters, stupid missions, tedious shards everywhere...Beh.

    Dead Nation

    I have mixed feelings about this game: I like the over all premise and the simplicity of the game, but there are times when the zombies just pour out of everywhere it seems. And I'm fine with this...But the controls are just a bit too sensitive for my taste, and I find aiming to be a touch difficult. I would also like to be able to climb on top of stuff and shoot. I know it can be done because there are a few areas in which you can sort of do this.

    I don't know. Fun overall, I suppose. I need to figure out which other free game I will be getting. Obvioulsy, not inFamous. *shudders*

    EDIT:
    I do love the Dead Nation theme. I've been hitting replay most of the night...

    I don't know Jon, it's kind of fun but everything about it feels kind of game-y. If that makes any sense? Guess I'm just spoiled by playing games that are more serious in tone like Heavy Rain and BioShock.

    It reminds me alot of Crackdown for the XBOX360. After about 10 minutes of missions, I decided it was more fun to just scale buildings.. or jump around on street lamps like some spider-monkey infused Gene Kelly..

    Same with me! I did find the aiming way too sensitive. I was disappointed to see the options didn't let you configure it either. I suppose it's something you just have to get used to. My other gripe was that the game was so dark! I had trouble distinguishing street debris from zombies. I guess I was too lazy to manually change my TV's brightness settings. (I hate games that make you change the brightness through the TV and not the game itself. Little pet peeve of mine. ..)

    Mmm, I know what you mean, but for that was part of it's charm for me. I love the ultra-real, ultra-serious games too, but sometimes it's nice to play something nice and simple. inFamous is basically what happens when you pour a comic book into a game, and it's fun for that. It's not complex, at least in terms of plot, and the morality is extremely black and white (with a couple of...interesting exceptions you run into at the end of the game) but it is a blast. And let's face it - unleashing a storm of lighting alone a road to obliterate a bunch of fools, there trucks and anyone else foolish enough to get in your way? Satisfying.

    Maybe it's a sign that I'm getting old and the only things that can really hook my attention are games with a mature narrative. That said, I really enjoyed Alone in the Dark: Inferno. Yes it has some control issues but once you get used to them then it's not really a problem at all. If you haven't played it yet, strongly suggest that you do. It's grossly underrated.

    I own it - it's sitting in the pile of games I need to play. After Dead Premonition, maybe.
