A quick check would seem to confirm that, PS3 was Japan only. You've got a 360 though?

[monkeyman]

Weeeeeeellll yeah. But it's used more to create some sense of symmetry with the PS3 on the shelf than tonactuslly be turned on

[GundamGuy_UK]

I've never read a comic with him in it :/

@Zeden: It's 360 exclusive isn't it? Sadface

Really? He crops up all the time in the ones I've read, and I've only read a dozen or so. Maybe it's the author's choice, I do have a lot of Jeph Loeb in my collection.

I just hope he doesn’t become one of those fights that goes like this.
Dodge ranged attacks until he charges.
Jump aside so he runs into a wall.
Kick ass.
Repeat.

This happened to Bane in AA and it was a let down really. He's supposed to be clever as well as muscular. I know that Titan played a role, but it was the only real disappointment in an amazing game. With the possible exception of Killer Croc.

To be fair nearly all the boss fights sucked. The Joker was the worst, Scarecrow was the best.

@Joe: Guess I'm just reading the wrong comics XD. Or perhaps I have seen him but I've forgotten. Really trying to rack my brains though and can't remember him at all

Agreed. Still easily one of the most enjoyable and well made games I have played.

I hate boss fights.

Apart from Metal Gear ones, obviously.

You know he will be.

He's not an important character, really. I'm never too bothered when I see/don't see him in a comic. It's cool he's in the game and all, but only because he exists in the comics. He's just one of those characters that's just sort of there. He hangs out in the sewer and occasionally kills people for food, that's about it.

Agreed, bloody fantastic game!

Agreed for the most part. MGS3 was the pinnacle of awesome innovative boss fights, IMO. Really looking forward to the HD upgrade re-release.

Also, Resident Evil: Code Veronica (and Resi 4) are getting HD re-releases. Anyone play much of Code Veronica? I know I started it but never finished and barely remember anything about it

[monkeyman]

Tomb raider underworld,Ratchet and clank tools of destruction, Red faction guerilla, Aliens Vs Predator =£20

Not bad

[GundamGuy_UK]

I don't remember why, but I couldn't get into Code: Veronica like I did the others. I never got far at all, just to a little house I seem to recall.

A truly wonderful video about how video games can and do enrich lives, and teach us about ourselves.

Gone all retro... Parasite Eve 2... first disc done in 3 hours 40 minutes... where did the game go?
