(360)

During the day though, as my normal m.o. of turning the sound down and
reading the subtitles is way too much shit to be doing in this game.
The subtitles are implemented really well, but reading that much text,
and watching for stuff to jump out at me, is too much.

There's a feeling of immersion in this game that I've not experienced
for a long while. I'm not wondering where the level ends or when I'm
going to get my next plasmid or gun, I'm just in the game and enjoying
whatever I'm doing.

Is it me, or have the added little incidental extras since the demo?
The lift sequence from the demo after the plane hits the walkway was
fairly quick, but in the main game it seemed to last a while longer
and had a few scary jolts and bangs during travel.


SPACE GIRAFFE (360)

I really really like this, but I made the mistake last night of
playing it after imbibing some electric spinach. Awesome to play in
that state, but you aren't gonna top the leaderboard any time soon.


Skate Demo (360)

I played this for a bit the other night, but quit out way before the
end of the demo. I'd finished the tutorial and was just skating about
and thinking "this is just dull and fiddly". I'll give it another go,
just in case it's an exposure thing, but I'm not sure I like the
purity in a computer game. Same reason I think Tiger Woods on the Wii
is complete shit compared to the golf game in Wii Sports.
