Demon's souls come with a walk through in the box, but I would ignore it, more fun to learn by yourself. Also note magic is broken good, Soul arrow makes the entire game a joke and one class has it at the start of the game.

Nocturne was hard, but that's Shin Megami Tensei, if it's not slapping you around, then you're doing something wrong. I really enjoyed Strange Journey, it is old school (SMT1 and 2) style, but much more forgiving than Nocturne was. Not sure if it got a UK release but your DS will play American games and I know Movietyme is good for importing games.

Why play Zelda, when you can play Zelda as a Zebra/Hamster/Walrus/Naked child/Naked zebra/Cupboard/Ghost/Football/Ray Peacock/Ed Gamble/Power ranger/Hedgehog/Plumber/Frog/Nazi/Jew/Spaceman/Gordon Freeman/Robot/Indian/Cowboy/Donkey/Bottle/Cup/Ferret/Brick/Tree/Zebra in a tree/Chicken?

Bayonetta is just another Devil May Cry game for all purposes. I like to use it as an idiot checker. If someone goes "She is so hot, I want to do her, she's so sexy", they are an idiot. If they get it's all tounge in cheek and seaside humour, then they're usually going to enjoy the game and not just wank over it and whine about difficulty.

Got Demon's Souls, will pop it in for a go tonight. Just played the first 3 hours of Alan Wake, I quite the like torch and shoot people but the facial animation of the characters absolutely kills the cutscenes. It's quite funny but really shit considering the tv show atmosphere they're trying to create, not that there was much to kill, I like the general story but the writing is poor.

Nocturne is one of the games I'm most proud of beating, really felt like I had balls the size of boulders after it. I'd like to try strange journey, heard very favourable things about it all round.

Enjoyed Bayonetta a lot, visually it was gorgeous, I like to go on it every now and again and just mash the buttons and watch the outcome. It was very funny indeed too.

The writing is the best bit of Alan Wake, the gameplay gets stale quickly and once you've met the first super speed enemy you soon lose fear of random dudes. Still I really liked Alan Wake.

I'm trying to find some more open world FPS games after the Stalker series and falling flat.

Also had the lovely experience of buying Section 8 on Steam and then the game refusing to work because Windows Live is borked. I was not amused.

Haven't played Devil May Cry, so Bayonetta should feel new to me. I think Demon's Souls might be my next purchase after I beat Wind Waker. I feel like replaying Final Fantasy XII too, it's one of my pet favorites.

Portal is a fine game, but that's all it is. People want to sell it as the second coming of Christ but it's just a fine game.

I played Deadly Premonition this morning, it's amazing to see Alan Wake try so hard to create a Twin Peaks sort of feel and fail while Deadly premonition just get's it straight away. Absolutely loving it so far.

Portal is a game with one of the worst fanbases, generally a bunch of immature meme screaming morons who don't get what so funny and just so damn good about it. Regardless it's still one of the best games of it's generation.

Also Demon's Souls is fun so far.

I've been playing Portal 2 loads. I especially like it because the characters name is Chell and that is sort of like a shortened version of my name.

I am looking forward to LA Noir as that will probably be my next buy. Oh and thinking about Rockstar makes me want a GTAV, I have been on IV a lot recently.

LA Noire just looks like another Heavy Rain. A bad movie disguised as a game. I started Crysis earlier and after Fary cry 2, I am sick of movies in games. 20+ minute intros are stupid, especially when they are unskippable.

Chell is short for Michael McIntyre?

Out of interest is there anyone about who doesn't like GTA IV? Yahtzee is the only one I can think of, I did at first but I put it away for a day and never felt like going back to it, when I made myself try I didn't enjoy it. L.A Noir does look amazing though, Rockstar has much more writing talent than the guys behind Heavy rain, I trust them to come up with a better story and script.

I've played GTAIV through twice and I still have mixed feelings about it.

MiChell McIntyre. I also like any game with tyres in, so racing games are a big success with me.

I couldn't stand GTA4, I got to the 2nd island and called it quits. GTA4 tries way too much realism. If you want a GTA game then pick up Saint's row 2, probably the best game on the 360. It's classic GTA taken to the next level, which GTA tried to be more realistic and forgot the best bit of GTA games is driving through the town with 80s pop music blasting out your TV.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7YI2NXTiyc There is the trailer for the 3rd one.

@ Chell Oh yeah, very clever.

I couldn't agree more on Saints Row 2, pretty much the gaming definition of pure fun, never ever get's old either, I still play it for hours on end. Easily one of the best releases of this generation. Fucking hilarious trailer, can't wait for 3.

Deadly Premonition is something else. It's so broken, but so interesting at the same time.

Just beat "Wind Waker." Now I have no idea what I want to do next. "Demon's Souls" looks good, but I'm not sure about the difficulty. At the same time, I'm considering buying a DS, PSP or Wii. Any opinions as to which?

I play very little other than fighting games. Super Street Fighter 4 and Marvel vs Capcom 3 take up ~90% of the time I spend on my xbox. The rest is divided between Red Dead Redemption (just got the zombie DLC for it, well good), Bayonetta and Vanquish atm.

Portal 2 took me about 5 hours, 5 glorious hours.

Anybody picked up the new Mortal Kombat? Any opinions on it?

i had it spread over a few days but i am going to play through it again with a friend after the exams are done and we are going to go through the single player then through the co-op in one whole go
we could possible stream it if we do we will promote the podcast tirelessly we will have the logo in the corner or something

That's a good idea, tend to like a good Lets Play and it's certainly nice place for some innocent promotions.

@A Predator the new MK game is really good, the first great MK game in ages and ages. Feels like a proper fighting game instead of a one-trick pony.

I've played through Portal 2 twice. I love Stephen Merchant.

Decided to get Bayonetta, it's pretty awesome so far. Also picked up Mario Party 6 and Metroid Prime. Is anyone familiar with the Harvest Moon series? I'm thinking about Magical Melody.

Did a match of Modern Warfare 2 as soon as the Network came back on, quit after one match after it got dropped.

I just completed Portal 2 Co-op.....on my own with two controllers!!! Couldnt drag my mates away from COD and my g/f was less than keen. It was a mammoth task, the first few levels are pretty easy, just keep shooting a portal here, change controllers, run there etc. But towards the end it gets crazy hard, having to control two spastic robots at the same time, one with each hand, pulling levers simultaneously on collapsible platforms! It is really hard, but very rewarding, plus i didnt have to share my portal2 experience with anyone else! Highly recommended, best achievement since 'the high mile club', on COD, not shagging in an aeroplane bathroom.

Next up....L.A Noire

Bomberman Ultra is well worth the £7.99 or whatever it is to download from PlayStation Network. Perfect game to stick on when you have mates round.
