Christ I feel like I've taken the Tardis back to 1995. Coming soon Sewer Shark: The Next Generation for PS3.

It's true and my mate, who's Dad works for Nintendo, told me that on Super Mario World if you enter Up, Up, Down, Down, and hold down all the buttons at once you can play as Sonic the Hedgehog.

It's the UK one as well, unless you go for the LE or CE.

Why are you arguing, he was agreeing with you?

Well said!

Video of someone who's got their hands on the game taking on a Big Daddy, hadn't seen it before, apologies if already posted but couldn't see anything. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermov...aylist=featured

That's only for 3 red lights, dodgy DVD drive still only has the standard 1 year warranty.

Nah I think the nadir of Edge scores has to be Broken Sword 3's 9. The review itself was a more of a general call to arms for a pont n' click renaissance which I'd love to see. But still a 9 for Broken Sword 3, blimey!

Yes this thread should be 50 pages of 'ZOMG AWESOME!!!!!' and cat image macros like NeoGAF. I liked it, but it was a lot more arcadey than I was expecting.

It's weird that the Hitman series, a game about an assassin is one of the few series out there that bucks the trend of combat above all else and is the closest we've had to a pure popular mainstream adventure game for a while. The great thing is that you can play it as shoot anything that moves and enjoy it on that level or you can revel in the puzzle aspects. Also, coming back to the quick-save issue that's been discussed, Blood Money introduced infinite quick saves on the easiest settings and I really appreciated that as it allowed you to experiment at will and try outlandish things, even if your only reward was a comedy death, you might otherwise have skipped for fear of losing half an hours play. I'm hoping for some elements like that in Bioshock, I'm sure they've talked up being able to set off various groups in Rapture against each other in previews before now.

If you listen to the audio it sounds as if it's who gatecrashed the party. I just want to track down whatever bastard killed that cat!

So what is the final pacing like? I think a lot of us are hoping for an atmospheric creepathon interspersed with moments of action, rather than Timesplitters underwater.

Game/gameplay have the exclusive for the CE containing the Big Daddy figurine, also comes with a making of DVD and the soundtrack. EDIT: This other special edition knocking around is more like the Dead Rising one in that it's just the game in a metal case I think.

Whan you ring MS they specifically ask you how many lights and what they're doing to rule out stuff like that so chinny reckon I say.

How to kill a 360 - turn it on

Are the Plasmids introduced differently in the full game? Just seems a bit bizarre the way your fella just happens upon a glowing syringe and decides to jam it in his arm for no apparent reason, even having Atlas explain over the radio what they are and why you really want to use them would be an improvement.

So how does Adam work? Plasmids are the initial glowing hypo that gives you a new power, Eve is basically ammo for your magic powers and comes in those blue hypos you loot. So what does Adam do? Does it just power up your powers and if so does that mean you're boned diffiulty wise if you don't fancy murdering Little Sisters?

I'm just hoping that Atlas turns out to be a nice Irish bloke with no skeletons in the closet, I'm a bit bored of the person you're after/communicating with throughout the game turning out to be a baddie 'twist'.

Would have been nice if your friendly neighbourhood Oirish stereotype could have given you a heads-up on the security system.

What's stranger is that he has some cash on him, what he was planning on spending it on is anybody's guess.

Gamestation are very good at replacing without hassle in my experience, only advantage of sending back to MS is that you might get the second heatsink in the replacement, but then on the other hand you 'll have 25 days without a console instead of an afternoon...

Yeah you fire your Plasmids with the left trigger and fire your weapon with the right trigger and use the left and right bumpers accordingly to select them.

Wish they'd find a nicer slow-down effect than that horrible luminous orange, no graphical effect at all would be preferable to that, hope you can turn it off in the full release.

I think it's a fair comment about the combat, doesn't bother me particularly as I enjoyed it, but you can see why people tend to look down on games when even a game with higher than normal leanings like Bioshock still boils down to running round going 'pew pew' at baddies. And I must admit that running around like a cross between Doom Guy and Harry Potter shooting a machine gun and fireballs felt a little low-rent after the opening. Still fun though.

The Dead Rising demo was one of my favourite games of 2006. The full release was one of my least favourite games of 2006.
