The adjudicator from Demon's Souls...it just somehow fits a fat #$%ing demon swing a meat cleaver twice your size at you....

Sweet, Ill do the same as I did with MW2; Ill buy it used at GS, play out the single player (I do want to see Price's revenge on the US military, it could be epic) and spend a few hours on the multiplayer before realizing BC2 is better, and give it back to GS for a full refund. I love that return policy; its kept me from feeling burned over an expensive game a few times now....

Ayup.

Before writing kids off as "really stupid" and parents as "dramatically inadequate," try to remember that the kids and parents of today are living in a world where technology has dramatically increased access to violent images/ideas and violent images/ideas are accepted as the norm in mainstream entertainment. When you talk about even just 10 years ago, we didn't have things like youtube and we would never had had a show like Dexter. Instead of seeing the kids and parents as stupid and inadequate, I see them more as being overwhelmed.

I disagree completely. I was of that age about 18 years ago, and we definitely had media on par with whats out there today. The games were too rudimentary to be as graphic as they are today, but the themes were still brutal, and movies and books more than made up for that. This was the day of Body Count, afterall...I remember watching Candyman when I was like 10, and that movie was seriously $##@ed up. It wasnt on primetime, granted, but graphic materials "meant for adults" have been around since the pulp fiction days, and older people have always thought it was going to corrupt the sweet minds of the helpless children who inevitibly get their hands on them. This same cycle of "whats out now is so much worse than what we saw when we were kids" has been going on for years in all sorts of areas of life. Music (first elvis, then ice-t), games, movies, even books (the first media to be banned because of questionable content)......Its a bunch of crap. Give your kids the credit they deserve. Theyre smarter than you, so if you can tell the difference, theyll pick up on it.

Most kids already know the difference. I grew up watching horror movies with my uncle, playing N.A.R.C and Mortal Combat, and reading Stephen King books. Somehow I still knew that the stuff in these materials were fictional, and to do them for real would be a bad move. Only takes one time getting hit in the head with a stick or falling out of a tree to know that...anyone who cant tell the difference by the age of 8 is prolly a little slow on the uptake anyway, or deeply disturbed

For some good fun, check out Penn & Tellers BS take on video games. Spoiler: they let a 10 year old shoot an assault rifle!!

thanks but the semi circle is pointed to the left. however i got lucky and beat him. what really makes me rage now are the minotaurs that keep hitting the chain link. i hate minotaurs, yo

jus_blaze101

Youre supposed to rotate the stick in the direction shown, yo...

That part was the most frustrating part of the game imo....do yourself a favor, dont do the minigame, just keep hitting them and theyll die. if you do the game, they keep hitting the chain, and you need to keep em off it...

Edit: make sure you use the cerberus dog to shoot fire too!

I'm with Danduron, I was pretty disappointed in the show as a whole. It barely has anything to do with playstation, and had way too high a fluff content. One would think that in a game testing show they would have had them play a damn game competitively by now, or at all....

Im for Nauseous, since Star's only strength is being a guitar hero godess, and Cyrus is such a chode....Amped is cute, but the whole "alliance" was a joke in this series. Its like they saw survivor and thought this would create drama for the producers...

@ cyee: Man, if you get a chance to play DS online, do it. With the help you can get and give, and the PvP component it gives the game a whole different depth, especially considering it is seamlessly integrated with the normal play and not a separate game unto itself...

Mega Man 9 and 10....

cyee

i havent played 10, but ive played 9 and i find demon's souls more difficult

Really? I at least felt like I could get better at Demon's Souls- better weapons, upgrading selectively, and just plain mastering the mechanics. Not to mention that you can soul farm and join other player's games to get clues on bosses, etc.....Mega man, well, it reminded me of why I didn't finish alot of games back in the NES days, especially trying to play it the first time without knowing the boss' weaknesses. And that was just Normal Difficulty. A different sort of difficult, sure, but to me it says something that Ive finished Demon's Souls but not Mega Man.....

I suppose MM 10 doesnt count, as it has an easy mode to use (9 didnt)
