@get2sammyb Sammy, the real question is while I get any sleep after encountering a Clicker? I'm awfully easy to scare Or do you get used to them after a while?
@RaymanFan2 I do believe it's more of a 'spiritual successor', in no way directly linked to killer7, but building on qualities which made the original game awesome I think in many ways it's more of a really X-rated No More Heroes. The main character looks very much like Henry.
There really hasn't been enough hype and coverage for this game in comparison to titles like The Last of Us, which is pretty much swamping our news section! Nice review though, shame it didn't deliver as much as we'd hoped for!
I maaaay be a tad bias, but I truly believe Deadly Premonition is an excellent game if you give it a chance. Many of Mike's functionality comments are spot on, but it must be stressed that the story and the subtly witty script is awesome, despite the developer's tight budget. My friend and I were obsessed with DP for ages, and nearly cried by the end, haha! So many emotions!
I can see why having Beyond as a PS4 exclusive would be highly beneficial for Sony to boost next gen console sales, but from a totally selfish stand-point, I'd rather it be PS3 only or a dual release, to save myself from forking out extra money for a new console at launch again. For consumers, it never seems to pay-off buying consoles at day 1 - especially with the recent Wii U price drop fiasco.
Oh gosh, see what you mean about the framerate, Sammy. Let's face it, if it's already out in Japan it's highly unlikely they'll optimise it for the Western audience alone - that's not the publishers job.
Mike - I can't wait to play Shadow of Colossus HD, was so awesome on PS2, going to have to give in and get the PS3 version with Ico soon... ;D Thanks for reminding me!
@TOMBOY25 Argh that's a pain! Don't give up now though, you've come so far already!
@Scrible You wait until Cerboreas in the next part of the guide - I reckon he's one of the most difficult. The genie is all about luck really, whether or not your Al-Khemi keeps drawing a parasol or a sword - I was quite unlucky most times..
@Snorky Oh no! Don't give up yet, keep unplugging it and cleaning the inside gently - the hoover blowing dust might have upset it. There's a few repair guides on youtube you could also look at.
I'm not going to lie, I very nearly cried several times when playing Ni No Kuni. It's just so wonderful!
Kick! Punch! It's all in the mind, if you wanna test me, I'm sure you'll find, the things I teach ya is sure to beat ya, but nevertheless you'll get a lesson from teacher... Now - KICK!

Nice review though, shame it didn't deliver as much as we'd hoped for!

Re: Review: Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory (PlayStation 3)
@CanisWolfred I'd agree with that, Ni No Kuni and Tales are definitely worth more of your time and money.
Re: Review: Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory (PlayStation 3)
@Valky I'd summarise it as a visual novel sprinkled with JRPG tendencies. Definitely more text than combat.

LEANBOX VS. LASTATION. Yeaaah...

Re: Dragon's Crown Reigns on PS3 and Vita This Summer
Can tell it's a Vanillaware game - the art style reminds me a lot of Muramasa!

Re: Shadows of the Damned Director's New Studio Partners with Sony
Doesn't that logo remind you of something ... namely the odd egg shaped image teased on the Sony facebook page earlier...??

Re: Point Your Peepers at Watch_Dogs' Predictable Packshot
I really don't like the Watch Dogs pack shot. Why have a huge gun in the foreground? It's so tacky and predictable.

@Dr_Salvador I'm playing Alan Wake at the moment (bit late I know), and liking it so far. It's like a serious Deadly Premonition
