Holburn

A console with 3 holes.

Can this be played split-screen online?

Just tore through this in one sitting with the better half today, then started on the co-op mode at her suggestion. Anything that can tear her away from Halo has to be something pretty special! Loved the voice acting and the credits music, which managed not to be an anti-climax after the music in Portal was such an amazing surprise.

Yeah I have the same issue, and as much as I want to play this again it aint gonna happen til they patch it. Shame.

So I've just downloaded Severed - jump straight into Zealot or work my way up?

This has been an instant hit with me and my good lady. Like a modern day Baldur's Gate in a way, but more varied and puzzle filled. Good level of difficulty so far - nice frantic sections mixed with puzzles which seem to be pitched at the right level. Controls just feel right. And there is always the opportunity to drop your co player into a spike filled pit if you're feeling mischievous! Best Live Arcade game since Shadow Complex.

Yes. I thought it was because of the migraine I had earlier!

The "no lone wolf bullshit" comment means proper 4 player squad based co-op game play, not one of you playing as the Arbiter and two of you playing as nameless Elites. Definitely a deliberate statement from Bungie and after the lack of 4 player co-op in ODST, very welcome in this particular household thank you very much.

And Jayne! And Wash! And Six too!

Some good advice in here - I was considering getting a DSi to replace my old silver brick, but I think I'll save some cash and get a Lite instead - cheers guys!

Finished this solo and started again on co-op with my gf, using the second save slot. I noticed that my stats had gone back to zero, ie I seemed to have lost the 1200+ kills towards the Seriously 2.0 achievement, no unlockables in the journal, and my collectibles were all gone. OK I thought, its because I used the other save slot. So we restarted co-op using the first save slot. Same problem. Anyone else found this? I'm resigned now to starting again on the collectibles and gradual progression achievements, but I was wondering if this was a bug or something I did wrong. Fantastic game though. See Bungie? This is how you make a game where you make the player feel as though they are part of a huge conflict. Now I just need to get the internet sorted so I can get playing horde with some like-minded peeps!

Sadly I can't make Thursday as I'm moving and don't know when broadband will be on. The xbox is going to be a non-live affair for me for a while.

I don't like it either, I find it patronising and annoying. Mind you, Zelda games have been doing it for years

Not had this long and was a bit sad there was no crash mode, then I discovered the Showtime thingummy. Now I'm a happy bunny I'm also impressed at how much there is to do. I'm not keen on night time though - I've got mine set to constant mid-day now, which is a bit sad cos in theory I love the day/night cycle, I just have difficulty seeing where the hell I'm going!

So basically, you can play the game yourself, Edited after previous post was spoilered.
