    Time to start the hype on this one. Eurogamer's review is up, and it got
    9/10
    .

    One quote from the review made me say "thank f**k"....
    In fusing classic game design with contemporary techniques and sensibilities, Epic Games and Chair Entertainment have triumphed where Japanese developers continue to flounder. The result is nothing short of one the best games of this generation.

    Can't wait for this now.... Its only 2 days (and 800mb!) away.

    800mb? Dammit, I'm gonna need a new hard-drive. Anyone know of any deals on a 60gb drive?

    Hype's already being goin. Shame on you mod for not using search http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055645053 ;)

    Straight buy for me though. Heard there's a quick ending in it that's quite funny, can't wait to see that.

    Pretty much the only game I have been looking forward too (and could afford) for the past month or so. Its a pity nobody has released a decent MetroidVania (love that word) game outside of handhelds until now, I thought thats what XBLA and PSN were for.

    It's going to be 1200 and from what most reviews are saying it could have easily been a full retail game.

    There's a good few retail games that are 6 to 8 hours long. What's your point?

    Yep, tis a healthy length for a game of this type, and I somehow doubt that figure is for 100% exploration/item collection...

    Definately going to be worth the points and the best Summer of Arcade game yet. Shame i wasted 800 points on the fairly awful turtles in time remake because now i need to get another 2100 points card
