I only bought it becuase I wanted to play Trials and Limbo, have no interest in Splosion Man, though I must say that Trials and Limbo are fantastic games!
I'm working on beating Ms. 'Splosion Man on hardcore right now. It's a hell of a lot harder than doing it on the first game. Partly because the levels are so much bigger and more diverse. It's really difficult to make it through these big ass levels without ever getting hit or screwing up a jump.
What's it like? The trailers make it look like it's Black & White 3.
I haven't had a chance to really sit down and play with it because we're in the process of moving/getting ready to show our cottage to the next prospective renters in the hopes of getting a refund on our rent. But so far, it's pretty good. Challenging. Although not as deep as the trailers made it look. But as I said, I haven't played much.

FRACT was trippy in the extreme, and was like a cross between Neuromancer and Myst by the artist of Darwinia. It was just downright freaky. The reward for completion is access to a sort of audiovisual mixing deck/sound board in a kind of mechanocrystalline technocathedral inside the island. It was decent fun, and even a novice like myself managed to knock out something decent. It's with screenshots in the video below.
Tiny and Big had the sort of soft cel-shaded look that immediately reminds me of OANST and his various Double Fine obsessions, and a fine soundtrack to boot - you have a radio strapped to your back and you just pick the songs you like.
It was short, naturally, but it's basically a platformer in which you have to build the platforms yourself, cutting through aztec masonry with a laser, tugging them down with cables or pushing them away with rockets. Worth a go, it's surprising it hasn't been done before.
After completing it I spent twenty minutes setting bits of rock spinning with rockets then trying to make them crash into each other.
The OWF server is down and I only play Minecraft on it...sorry for the confusion.
Anyway. I've been carrying on with Okami after i got stuck for ages. Its one of the longest games i've ever played thats for sure and i've just played through Half-Life for the first time. Xen was a bastard.
I loved playing that game over Xbox Live back when I had my original Xbox. Sadly playing it on the 360 is near impossible as the frame rate runs very low

I just pre-ordered From Dust. Looks like a amazing game and i can't wait to play it
Isn't that an XBLA game? How can you pre order it?

Or in my case you don't since I'll be getting rid of Kinect(piece of shit) to give me a discount, I want all that stuff but don't feel like paying £70 for it all.

Man, I'm on the edge which to pre-order; Deus Ex: Human Revolution Augmented Edition or Dark Souls Limited Edition. Both look really nice, but I can only afford one of them.
Really? I thought the opposite. I mean, I'm more interested in Deus Ex because of the gameplay and such, but Dark Souls is something different and it seems really good and I've heard that Demon Souls is awesome but challenging. And it comes with an art book, a soundtrack, a guide book, behind the scenes and a different cover for the price of the regular game if you pre-order it. That's fucking awesome.
If Dark Souls is anything like Demon Souls and you intend to play it... you're going to need that guidebook.
