It's in the Dental area of the Medical Pavilion. Head down the set of stairs nearby after Atlas tells you you need telekinesis.

Melt the ice and continue.

Hmmm... That's what I thought but I still don't see it. Would be much easier if I didn't have to stop every 10 seconds to throw the ball so the damn dog will let me play.

I think that I missed a Little Sister, but I don't know where. I was just coming back with the three pictures to meet up with Peach Wilkins, and I got a message saying that I didn't rescue a little sister and therefore it will be tough to get enough adam. But I could have sworn that I did rescue a little sister, and she left me a bear as a present. Anyone know what the hell I am talking about?

I am finished that section now and can go on, but I'd rather not if I didn't get the little sister. Is there a way to see how many little sisters you have saved? Or even some kind of section outline for the game? I don't really care about spoilers, I would just like to know about how far I am through the game.

I got my copy at Fry's here in Indianapolis about 3 hours ago. It was the last one they had in stock so I got lucky.

Out of all the people I've seen online who got the LE version I've only heard of one person whose Big Daddy figure wasn't broken in some way or another.

Now if only I could pull myself away from playing Persona 3 for 2 seconds to try it out.

If you hit the start button it will show you, at the bottom of the screen, how many little sisters are in the area. The icon changes as you save them.

I applaud anyone playing this on hard. I have grown to somewhat dread the Big Daddy fights but I am thrilled when I win. My buddy came over while I was playing and he watched me try to take on a Big Daddy. After I failed I asked him if he wanted to try and he had no desire to be the one in the driver's seat. Normally he jumps at the chance to show me up.

Mine too, but some Krazy Glue fixed it good enough where you can't even tell it was broken.

But much worse than that, the hub of the actual game disc was damaged enough where it looks like the two layers of plastic making up the disc are starting to peel from the inside, and it's dented and warped - the 360 recognizes the disc most of the time, but there's been a few trys where it hasn't. I hope Gamestop lets me exchange it tomorrow with no hassles. If they're sold out and can't exchange it then and there, I'm gonna raise some hell.

I'm loving this game so far. Definitely worth waiting for.

How is everyone taking on the Big Daddy's? Does it help at all to try and shoot the tanks on their back?

My first run in was successful but I burned a ton health and machine gun ammo.

I've aimed for the packs and it seemed to do very little. Then again I have a hard time watching my health, firing a weapon, using my plasmids and running like a little bitch all at once so I may of not been paying enough attention to its health.

Way less scary than Condemned. I'd say about as scary as RE4.

So, I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. My Big Daddy came in entirely intact, tip and all. Only got a chance to spend about 45 minutes to an hour with the game (I'm only a little past where the demo ends), but I've really enjoyed what I've played thus far.

The last one. It is moody and has a very creepy atmosphere but I haven't had any truly scary moments.

It's not scary in the way that it's survival horror, but it is truly creepy and parts will probably make your skin crawl. It's scarier before you get a lot of plasmids and weapons, but even later in the game there are moments that you just wish you could get through with your eyes closed.

When I am playing, my skin constantly has goosebumps. It's very creepy.

Creepy more than scary. I beat the doctor in the medical labs and met my first little sister. Great game so far.

I'm enjoying the game, but I hate the hacking mini-game. The harder ones seem like trial-and-error. I end up surrounded by the 'blow up' tiles a lot.

Thanks, I'll have to check that when I get home. If I did miss a little sister, can I go back and get her, if I advanced to the next section? And I mean, post cut scene?

There are a couple I did that there was no way that I could have beaten, since the first square went straight into an explosion square.

Those hacking games are pretty boring after awhile. I wish there was more variety in them.

Probably not, since Fry's is unadvertised, but they should at least price match Circuit City, which is $10 off.

Not sure if you can go back once you have moved on without replaying everything from that point but I have noticed if you encounter a big daddy/little sister and she makes it to her hole before you take down the big daddy you can find her later if you continue roaming the board.

Is it necessary to save/harvest all of the little sisters to complete the game, or does it just make it easier?
