Apparently the combat gets really boring. And you'd have to play it really slow to get 100 hours out of it.
Watch the giantbomb quicklook (thats and hour long) I thought it looked cool but I was bored of the combat after watching about 40 mins of it
I'll totally get it when it's £15 though.

Bow down to the thrasher!
So I haven't played an Elder Scrolls game for many a year now and I want to get playing them again. I can't afford Skyrim
at the moment so I was thinking of grabbing Oblivion. Any comments on this game? Worth $20?

Still on my SNK binge. Played SVC Chaos: SNK Vs. Capcom again the other day for the first time in a while and got fucking annihilated by Shin Akuma... SNK Boss Syndrome everywhere

It's a carnival... of monsters!

The only reincarnated NEO GEO game i ever liked was Samurai Showdown. Wish they could remake it awesome, but it seems they can't seem to do that. Let us know if KOF has been improved any.

Just beat Uncharted 2 last night. Fun game, but those games are such Indiana Jones rip offs, they've ripped off actual scenes in the movies. Still, it was a fun adventure, some of the movie scenes are corny. The amount of credits when you beat it is ridiculous, the credits wouldn't stop so I just skipped them. Died a few times on the last boss, but after that I kicked his ass pretty good. Now, on to part 3.

First thing you'll notice is that the aiming is fucked up. It feels clunky like it did in the first one, and not fluid like 2. That's my only problem with the gameplay, the rest of my complaints come from the story. Talbot and Marlowe, the villians, didn't feel like they were evil enough, and their intentions were never fully explained. The story at more than one point (the boat, the fort area) felt really slow and stretched out and almost nothing happened. Like they were just filler areas because the dev team ran out of ideas. Multiple unfinished plot lines..... Plot HOLES..... Ugh. Just a bad game.

The King of Fighters XI is buggy as hell This saddens the Ingram, it's a fucking great game marred by some shitty oversights (only on the PAL conversion oddly enough).
-Tizoc is named 'Mai', which is just... a stupid mistake
-Command inputs take noticably longer to register
-There's a massive ugly blue boarder along the bottom of the screen at all times
-LOAD TIMES
-Screen transitions are buggy
-The pause menu is bugged on a few stages and subsequently just comes up an an illegible blur.
I haven't played it on 60hz yet to see if it irons out any of these, but it's a crying shame. If it wasn't for all of this crap then it'd by far be one of the best KoFs I've played in a long time. Sad dave

That's weird about Uncharted 3 because reviewers claim it's the best freakin game and that it's the best of the series. Uncharted 2 is quite epic, so I see that part 3 is a shorter game than 2. I'll be playing part 3 after Castlevania.
You'd think by now they would know how to make a top notch King of Fighters game. But it seems they aren't paying attention to details. They should know how to make a perfect game by now but lack of time and financing can alter a games outcome completely.

The games themselves are fucking great, but the ports are utterly horrible - especially in PAL territories. The Orochi Saga port on PS2 and PSP in the UK is bugged to the point of being unplayable in some places.
Apparently the console ports of KOFXIII are damn near flawless, and the PS2 ports of 2000/2001, Maximum Impact and '98 Ultimate Match are absolutely spot on. 2002, 2003 and Neowave had a few graphical errors here and there but absolutely nothing that impacted on the gameplay itself, SVC Chaos and Neo Geo Battle Coliseum were pretty great too despite some lengthy loading times and maybe some graphical inconsistancies. SNK Playmore and Ignition Entertainment haven't done TOO bad of a job for the most part, but their PAL port of The King of Fighters XI has some bugs and glitches that are really, really fucking dreadful in places and should've been ioned out long before retail release.
Such a shame, but it happens sometimes. I remember when they ported KOF'95, Samurai Shodown III and Real Bout to the PSone over here and they were almost arcade perfect with the exception of some long loading times (except SS3 which was nicknamed 'Samurai Slowdown' due to being... well, you get it). I miss the good old days.
Maybe it's time for me to upgrade to an Xbox 360 and get KOFXIII

You'd think they would know how to do proper ports by now but I guess they still haven't figured it out. Stupid decision making on the companies part. Just like with Resident Evil 4 HD for PS3, it wasn't even remasterd they just used the gamecube port.... I didn't buy it. Good thing I still have the original PS2 game.
If you get a 360 make sure you get the extended warranty, because they always break a little bit right after the regular warranty expires. The controller is annoying too, but hey the system has great games and very colorful sharp graphics.

I NEVER trust reviewers AMD. I lost all faith in them after the whole debacle with Gamespot and their review for Kane and Lynch a few years ago.
Also, I tend to be alone in my opinions.
DAVE! Get a PS3 instead. Free online and DEMON'S SOULS, which is a game you'd adore, I assure you.
