Mmmm, I'm disappointed by this. Ho hum.

Great Blog entry!

I actually think Far Cry 2 handles this type of thing better than most games though.

Come to think of it, Far Cry's health vs. save mechanic is crammed with lots of mini innovations; Having to 'claim' a safe house by killing the patrolling goons, The elongated, visceral animation triggered when you heal when heavily wounded, Bottles of water, The search for Malaria tablets.

I'm a sucker for Far Cry 2 right now though...

I think I know the exact bit in G.R.A.W you are talking about, night mission, moving uphill on a cobbled street, two troop transports approaching, right after an autosave checkpoint?

I didn't allow myself to progress beyond that point untill I had destroyed both trucks with a single grenade! I can't remember if I stuck to my challenge though, as I was a bit drunk, but I definitely tried killing them like that a load of times as it was right at a checkpoint and a good time to practise grenades!

Brilliant review. Well done.

Oh Ye have little faith.

I've every confidence this will turn out just as good as RE4, and will perhaps be more interesting because of the prevalent co-op aspect.

In fairness, I only tried the demo once and died fairly quickly. I don't wanna play anymore until I'm starting the full game and can give it my undivided attention and effort.

I think Microsoft has done a decent job of turning this thing around. I know that my original Xbox 360 still freezes up from time to time, and I get nervous because I think it's getting the RROD, but it still works great. It froze up on me twice while playing Gears yesterday and I thought for sure it was done, and perhaps sometime in the future it will shit the bed."

LMFAO!! Shit the bed is such a perfect description of what happens with RROD!

1. You're all relaxed and comfy in your bed about to have a great dreamfilled sleep...
1. You're all pleased with your 360, games, achievements & loving Xbox Live...
2. As you roll over you feel hot squidgy substance under the covers= SHIT THE BED!!
2. One day you turn on your 360 and are ready to play your fave game= RROD!!

Anyhoo, I had one RROD before they had announceed the free fix and had to replace it. Now my 360 Drive can't read any discs which is not a fault covered by the free fix!! Anyone know how to make the 360 RROD deliberately so I can get a replacement for free??
