Demon's Souls isn't that hard. Yes, the game is challenging and unforgiving but if you actually think about what you're doing and learn how to play the game instead of assuming you can run in and button mash your way to victory, you'll die. You'll die a lot. Demon's Souls is a good game, very challenging and very fun but you need to actually play it. There's a dodge button for a reason.

Oh man! I'm probably the last person in the world to hear about this but I'm so excited. Because 'Mortal Kombat vs DC' was such a successful game, the Tekken series is following suite. The next Tekken release is going to pit the cast of Tekken against the cast of He-Man and his crew! This is soooooooo awesome!

I love these kinds of games. Soul Calibre has got Star Wars, Mortal Kombat has DC characters, Capcom characters regularly face off with Marvel heroes and villains. I just can't get enough of these cross over fighting games! It's just a formula for win! I can't wait to get 'Tekken vs He-Man and The Masters of The Universe'

I can't pick. There's been so many great games and as much as it seems like we're on a downward spiral, I refuse to believe that the greatest game of all time has been made yet. The 'Dark Knight' of video games, so to speak, has not been made.

With a hammer.

Now back in the day, it was definately Street Fighter. No one can deny how great SF2 was. We all had a blast with it. At the same time, MK was slow and awkward with only a handful of characters. However MK improved vastly and SF failed to evolve well and died out for a long time. In my opinion, Mortal Kombat Armageddon is the greatest fighting game ever made. It had so much in it but never lost focus on what it was there for - the fighting. They introduced an adventure style campaign, a racing minigame (Okay, we could have skipped that) and brought back every character for the series. There were weapons, there were REAL fighting styles and lots of them. Not only that, you could create your own characters and customise their fighting styles. All of it was brilliant!

Then came Mortal Kombat vs DC. Now I love DC but this was a game that never should have happened and if that was MK's future, then I'm kind of glad Midway died. I've played SF4 and... Well, I can't really call it an evolution in game play. Sure, it's fun but I guess they realised they couldn't top SF2 and so they just remade that.

inFamous is a short game but I still say it's worth it in every way. So far it's the game that has impressed me the most on PS3. I recommend it to everyone!

I don't see the "Subscribers get membership only game content" as working too well. Not like the DLC - which I have no problem with, by the way. They're just expansion packs in smaller sizes. We've been buying them for years and years - MMORPG makers are beginning to realise that paying once to buy the game and paying again to keep playing doesn't work very well. More games built for online are trying to find different models of getting that regular payment. People don't want to keep paying monthly or weekly or yearly for a game. A good example is DCUO. I've been following this one for months and they're looking for something better than the regular subscription. People hate that and it doesn't pull in numbers like it used to.

Games like Anarchy Online and Dungeons and Dragons online have gone free after realising this system is a failure. Wait and see who follows.

How to stop it happening: Don't buy it. If nobody buys it, they'll stop offering and everything will go back to how it is now which is cool and nobody will care that much and Sony will try another way to get more money out of us and maybe improve PSN while they're at it.

However, this won't happen. You see people are born and raised these days to just accept being raped by large corporations. Sony says "Get out your wallet and bend over" and we say "Well I guess it was bound to happen and it's worth it because I only get pounded in the ass a little bit." This thread is proof that people will be willing to pay and so of course it is going to go ahead. It was bound to happen.

Microsoft already proved that even though people have been playing counterstike for ten years without paying for that privilege, people are willing to give them money to take their Halo experience online and get threatened to be hacked by prepubescent boys.

I'm not even going to fuss a whole lot about it because, by the sounds of it, I'm not going to lose anything by not paying and I love the PSN service as it is. The only thing that could tempt me would be the free PSOne games.

I've actually done a little bit of looking for this game at the edges of my memory. When I couldn't find any starting with T that sounded right, I figured I might be remebering things entirely wrong. So I looked a little deeper into the worlds of PS1 jRPG and the game I'm thinking of might actually have been Suikoden.

Mind you, I might be way off altogether but let's just say it is for the purpose of this conversation.

Coincidently, I just wrote a review for RE4.

As I was preparing to have my say on this thread, I read through the other responces and right now I'm convinced that the Resident Evil 4 I played is a completely different game to the Resident Evil 4 everyone else played. Apparently everyone else got to play a truly memorable game that was both captivating and frightening. The RE4 game I played was a game with wonderfully smooth and intuitive aiming and shooting gameplay from a third person perspective but in every other way dull and vaguely racist. The RE4 game I played made a mockery of an otherwise lovable series about B-Grade movie zombies. The RE4 game I played went to great lengths to ignore the fact that this had always been a survival horror series and not "The Terminator joins the KKK".

When I think about all the good times I had in the Resident Evil series, remembering there even was an RE4 comes mostly as an afterthought.

But like I said: Apparently I was playing a different version of the game to everyone else.
