[...] I’m not the only person who’s dealt with this, for what its worth. I’m going to give it another try but unless it really gives me something special its on to Dragon Quest V. [...]

I got the normally dressed Cybil the first time I played.Also, there were close to no sexual references in my play through, it sounds like that stuff changes based on the psychological profiling, And Jade just didn’t like the character that came out of her profiling.

No offense but Jade shouldn’t be on this podcast anymore. Her voice is pretty annoying and she creates an overall negative vibe. And I agree with sdf thats she needs to calm the hell down

The gamer in me was so disappointed when Ryan talked about AC2. For someone who was bragging about how easy ship levels were in Super Mario Bros. 3 he sure gave up quick on a simple race mission. Here’s the secret, hold the right trigger down and press A when you want to jump.

I feel sad for Jade. It seems she thought she was getting a remake of Silent Hill instead of a reimagining. There is a huge difference. Climax even compared it to the new Battlestar Galactica series in that way. Similar characters, but new story. The game is really more an adventure/thriller than a survival horror, but I appreciate them doing something completly different rather than trying to follow the awful Silent Hill: Homecoming. The story is very well crafted and DOES tie into the series and the first game, just in an unexpected and completely original way. Like some of the others below, I got the professional Cybil my first playthru, not the slutty version, and I was really impressed on my second and third playthru with how much of the story and characters do change as your psych profile changes. The story overall may conclude in a similar way, but each playthru offers new perspectives on the characters and plot. I’m impressed that Climax had the balls to do something different, and applaud their efforts, even if the chase sequences leave something to be desired. As a massive SH fan, I was quite impressed, and pleasantly surprised. This is my favorite SH game since 2.

This is my first episode and wow the Assassin’s Creed 2 part was frustrating. Do some of you just not pay attention at all when you play games? It was extremely clear why you were fighting those guys in the streets in the beginning of the game. There was also a tutorial that explained the controls in the beginning and you had no need to consult the manual. If you failed that race 5 times in a row then you really have no place reviewing video games. What a disgrace.

So the premise of a film is now considered spoilers? I hope you haven’t watched the trailers then. Obviously the entire experience is ruined now!

SPOILERS

Bruce Wayne, billionaire orphan, spends his nights in his home Gotham City fighting crime as the Batman – striking fear into the hearts of would-be criminals.

It isn’t an outlandish sci-fi term.
