Obviously I bought it. Can't wait to play it. As soon as I'm done with my research for the week and work. Yakuza was one of my favorite games of all time, and I've played a lot. I never thought sega would localize Yakuza 2. Yay!!!!

Got ICO. Jesus, this game is overrated. All it is, is flashback (genesis) in 3d. I'll take Prince of Persia over this any day. I've played worse, but 8.5? More underrated than Planescape? Most overrated game since Dino Crisis, IMO.

8.5!!!!!

That means this game is allegedly as good or better than Metal Gear Solid, American McGee's Alice, Xenosaga, Shenmue, Jade Empire, Kingdom Under Fire, Baten Kaitos, Empire Earth, ZOE2, Fatal Frame, every Silent Hill game, Kingdom Hearts, Gothic 2, and my personal favorite, Fear Effect.

Onimusha 3 is of course good and pretty much exacty what I expected, except finally with better controls than the other 2 games. Alice is great, and I'm surprised I hadn't bought it sooner.

BW isn't as bad as the reviews indicate. it reminds me of the thrill kill beta. really fun game for the price (it's very cheap right now). not very polished but i think a 4 is on the low side. more like in between 6-7. the environmental interaction and trailer park allure is pretty fun, if at times sloppily executed.

Beat the K:HK demo. Reminds me of Dungeon Siege or one of the dozen other NWN/Diablo clones gameplay wise, but it has a pretty decent story (well above average for the hack n slash RPG genre) and lots of action. Fun stuff, even if it's not particularly original or GotY material.

I think I'll pick it up. It's not as addictive as Sacred, but I'm still a sucker for a decent PC action/RPG.
