I'll admit collecting all the stuff was frustrating and if I'd have known what I was getting myself into I'd have probably stuck with 1 playthrough and called it done.

I'd certainly recommend getting back into it.

From what I can tell, I'm about halfway through it. Just got the Ba'ul and it's still not grabbed me. It's only really been played that much due to having nothing better to do for a while! Shame really.

A friend's just very kindly lent me his copy of Dragon Age for a couple of weeks so I'm hoping that grabs me

Is it someone from here or a Twitterer?

I got my copy yesterday but haven't even opened it yet. Something about starting a possible 100 hour rpg doesn't grab me right at this moment! even though I know full well this could be my goty.

I've have started the Fallout 3 DLC today though and got back into it very quickly even though it's a year since I last played it. I played the first 2 missions of Broken Steel and loved it; if it's all like this I'm in for a treat.

I've only got it for a little while so I doubt I'll get a huge amount played but it's perfect for knowing whether it's worth getting for Christmas

It's still sitting next to me untouched though as I've got work to do first There is all night at least

I saw you played Mini Ninjas. How is it? games(tm) gave it a good review and compared it to Kameo and Banjo and I'm quite intrigued.

It's also £17.99 on zavvi.

It's ok but I think it's got a superiority complex, it's not as good as it thinks it is.

Not sure what kids would think of it though, need to borrow one to test the game on

It feels a little like an old N64 platformer though so it certainly has a charm about it Just doesn't quite hit the spot for me.
