i'm doubting that review up above - the control scheme makes you press R2 to move forward...they said the sticks.

And it sounds like a 4.2G install is mandatory. But rather than simply make you watch a progress bar, you get to fold some origami.

Also here's a video

Really enjoyed the music during that clip. Very LOST-esque.

I known we all like to bitch about people not using the bathroom (or eating) on 24 but was that BS really necessary?

Look, I like adventure games and I love the mystery/thriller vibe. I also like the bits with caring for the son. Heck even the strip scene in the nightclub makes an emotional and narrative sense to me. However, the shower and the toilet bit in that video were just crass to me.

So when you get the game, don't take a shower or go to the bathroom. Problem solved.

As a gamer this should not be a problem right?

I know! They should also link that video to this site:

That would really make kids think twice!

Don't get me wrong. It's not a big deal. It just seemed really stupid to me how it uses angles reminiscent of a peep show video is all.

Maybe they're just trying to make it realistic. The only thing missing is her pulling out the battery powered companion.

I'm sure you're right. I just found the shots used to be intended for a titilating effect and it just looked silly and juvenile to me.

Despite what I said earlier, that would be hilarious.

Just got the Offical Playstation magazine today and it gave this game 5 stars and the Editor's choice for the month. They couldn't stop raving about the game.

Between this game and GOWIII, it will be a great month of gaming. (too bad Dante's Inferno reviews have been horrible)

Some might even call it the "Great Gaming Month Ever", but to be fair, GOW III doesn't arrive until March.

And now the site is blocked at my work.

If anyone has a secondary email account they can use to grab an extra demo code from that site, you would be mah hero.

thanks kotaku for giving all the freeloaders who weren't involved in the ARG the demo, and for breaking the ARG site. Fuckers.
