Sonata was one I was happy to leave well alone, but I had to play the demo didn't I?

I think I'll be trading Blue Dragon in for it.

Damn I want a Guilty Gear game for the 360. Hope it makes it out of Japan.

If there weren't so many games coming out this month I'd already have Eternal Sonata. Chopin as a playable character, beautiful graphics and music to die for (I have the combat tune on my mp3 player)

Hmmm, mutant storm empire seems to be oozing with the kind of polish
I've come to expect from pompom. Some lovely design in there with
space tripper like hints which is great. Shame it slows down a bit but the
only reason I'm not unlocking right now is I seem to have bought myself
enough stuff this month.

Sadly it's a highly polished turd. Check the thread in Playing The Games to see why.

I tend to be with Rod - it aint exciting enough - it all feels like you need to plan ahead too much

Cheers for the heads up, my post was a 1 game first impression.. I'll give
it some more time and decide later. I'm still annoyed about unlocking BSG
when I was pissed.

Fucking hell, Looney Tunes is the most generic, horrific licensed game I have ever played. And it has some REAL competition.

There's a Dynasty Wars Gundam demo up too, which is so inept and boring it must be played to be believed.

Is the glittering ocean of quality games stretching out before us just making the floating turds more obvious, or is the yin looking for its yang?

It's not that generic. The camera is sometimes so spectacularly bad it's in a league of it's own. Shame as given the material they had it could have been Kindom Hearts style lovely.

Could be worse. I'm absolutely aghast to discover I've unlocked Hexic.

The Dynasty Warriors games are an acquired taste. I find the utter mindlessness of them mildly therapeutic when I've had a bad day at work.

The Gundam one is pretty poor though. Dyn 6 looks like being fun. (I'm actually reading Three Kingdoms at the moment, the game needs more of the decapitations and throwing wives down wells and less of the bravado and fighting and stuff)

Sounds like a Nick Cave song.

Glad I'm not the only one that feels this way. It's too bad they had to ruin such a great license.
