    I played the Too human demo and it think it sucks. It tries too hard to be cool like GOW. the graphix etc is fine, the whole story line which I normally don't care about is stupid.

    Tales of whatever=generic JPRG.

    GOW as in God of War of Gears of War? Regardless it is nothing like either one. The controls seem like they will get some time to get used to. But I think it should be a great game. Especially since you can replay numerous times as a different class.

    Yeah as far as I could tell, judging by the Too Human demo, it seemed like its a flop waiting to happen. The controls are quirky and I think it will be seriously hard to get accustomed to the the terrible, and I mean seriously horrible camera angles/controls.
    <br>
    Its a shame though, I really was hoping this would be one of those games that was easy to get into...

    Too Human did seem to get the "Lair treatment" from MS at E3 from what I can recall. That's not usually a good sign.

    Apparently there's a patch for Uncharted, which enables trophies for the game. They award one for each of the medals.

    It sucks, however, that you have to start from scratch to earn those medals\trophies. No retroactive support.

    That's what the Lair treatment is. Ignore it and hope that nobody remembers it ever happened.

    AitD5 probably should have gotten the Lair treatment.

    That's disappointing. Still, I need to check it out for myself. I was hoping this game would be good considering it took like, ten years to make it.

    PC, PS3 and PSP. My parents have a Wii, which I sometimes play (although haven't done so in a while).

    There are MANY games I'm interested in, probably too many to list. I'll try to come up with a list of some of the best, but it will still have a lot. In no particular order:
    Disgaea 3 (LEVEL 9999!)
    LittleBigPlanet
    Resistance 2
    Persona 4
    Fallout 3
    White Knight Chronicles
    God of War 3
    Mass Effect 2
    Both FF13 games (although it is time to see some of their progress IMO)
    Team Ico's next project
    Heavy Rain
    Dragon Age
    Mirror's Edge
    Diablo 3

    I probably missed some good ones too, especially games that aren't coming out very soon (2009 and beyond).
    I missed that one. I usually skip over games that come out on the 31st since they're usually placeholder dates (unless the 31st is a Tuesday). That might be the case here, but I went ahead and added it to the list anyway.
