I've only done 1 chapter and part way through number 2 so will see how I get on.

It does get repetitive in the middle section but it improves dramatically towards the end. The final boss is one of the most impressive pieces of game 'directing' that i've ever seen.

It scared the poop out of me.

Cheeky, I didn't even find it scarey. Condemned is, but Dead Space isn't.


Wuss

I agree, whilst you do backtrack through the same area in a couple of occassions, the story does actually call for it, so you never actually feel your just grinding from A-to-B-to-C, which for me is a massive compliment. And you're right, the direction in the game is superb.

I loved Dead Space, it's gotta be in my top 20, possibly 15 games of all time.

It felt like a massive grind for me! Pity as it was brilliant at first. Ah well, I didn't pay much for it and I got the same amount back so that's alright

I just swapped someone my promo copy of Afro Samurai for their Halo Wars LE which seemed a decent deal to me Looking forward to playing it a bit later on.

I'm with you. I found the first few chapters very opressive and scary and could only manage one chapter a night. It does get 'better' once you get used to the mechanics but it was enough for me to end up playing it on easy.

I used to love a good horror but since having kiddie winks I've been a complete wuss and only really like a happy ending these days.

It is quite a superb game though!

Decided to restart and keep 3 guides open so I don't miss anything. Will go mental if I do. Beat the final boss though, was easy as hell with level 70 stuff and 6k damage

Got Prototype today, only given it 20 minutes so far.

Graphically it's really a disappointment, which is a shame and the animation on AI in in-game cut-scenes should be better, however, with that said, I love how fast and fluid you move in and around people and objects, climbing over objects or running up walls. The powers are immense and the ability to take someone and steal their identity is awesome. I'm quite intrigued by the story as well and as I said, it's all very fast and slick, but it should look a lot better graphically.

I'm gonna give it a bigger play tonight.

Think I'm going through another casual phase - bigger retail games just aren't hooking me at the moment, arcade games seem to be fitting my mood better. Sam and Max reviewed well so looking forward to that next week
