    I remember reading the death of SUperman series when I was a kid. Loved it. It was brand new and was amazed that Superman could be killed.

    Now, if we could only get the story writing team behind Pixar to write the story plots for some video games...we'd never be deriding their games, that's for sure.

    Hows Alice? was a fan of the old one.

    Hows Alice? was a fan of the old one.

    It's a very visually pleasing game. The environments are beautifully designed and the transitions between realms/worlds/areas/whatever you want to call it are seamless. I particularly like the small details such as Alice's dress changing to match the current area she's in (ie Mad Hatter themed dress for the Mad Hatter area) and the animated cutscenes.

    The game still retains its difficulty from its predecessor and proves to be quite the challenge at some points. In addition, the game is stock full of collectibles so you'll always have something to do; I'm on my second run-through already, trying to gather everything.

    I also like what they did with Alice's personality. While she still has her dry and cynical personality, you can also see how she's matured from the last game. On the same note, you can see how Wonderland's changed since the first as well. While the first was more 'guilt-driven' on Alice's side, this one focuses more on the memories themselves which, in my opinion, proves to be a stronger focal point for the plot.

    Controls are standard and relatively easy to master. The aiming is a little bit finicky at times but doesn't take away the pleasure of the game. New abilities such as floating and dodging (by turning into a swarm of butterflies) are a refreshing aspect of the game.

    Bottom line: From one Alice fan to another, I highly recommend it.

    So far all the reviews I have read for Duke Nukem Forever have been very bad...Have you played it?

    I have and I hate to say it, but I agree with the reviews. As a Duke fan, I was rather disappointed with the game and I found it to be quite the let down.

    When I was listing Alice, Duke and BTTF in my previous comment, I was referring to the initial excitement of the releases, not necessarily the quality of the games themselves. Alice was fantastic. Duke? Not so much.

    BTTF the Game episode 5 and 1 or two other games are the games I am looking forward to. I hope they do a season 2! I am also interested in Puzzle Agent 2. I just got the first one earlier this month, and I want to know what happens next! I just finished the demo of Portal Still Alive. I do and don't like it. It is strange but interesting. If any of you have done Portal 2, can you tell me if it is worthy to be called a game and tell me how good it is?

    That sounds like a really good game. I haven't played the first Alice game, does it matter? I would like to play it.

    Looks like Superman has a really bad nosebleed.

    From what I understand(I have too many games on my want-list right now, so Alice really isn't a priority), when you buy a NEW copy of Alice Madness Returns, you get a free downloadable copy of the first Alice.

    ShadowKnight is correct; When you purchase the second, you get a copy of the first as well. Even if you still didn't want to play the first, the second is extremely easy to follow and while it references some elements from the first, it can work as a stand alone game. Of course, I should mention that it's rated M for a reason but everyone knows about that, don't they?

    I also recommend the first to you. Granted, the graphics are a little dated since it was released ten years ago but the game is quite impressive.

    Just 5 more days!!!!
  • edited June 2011
    How long you think it'll take to get it on PSN?

    They're trying to catch up on their updates and I figure Ep. 5 gets released on there sooner than later. I hope TellTale turns it in to Sony the same day it's released or at least the next day. Just curious if it gets bumped up in order for Sony to catch up.

    i got all the trophies on ep 1-4 and then decided to trade my ps3 in for store credit since back to the future and infamous were really the only 2 ps3 games i really played (aside from a few gameshow games) so i'll just play episode 5 on my pc when it's released... sony has just become more trouble than it's worth...even before the outage they always seemed to be late with some dlc updates...

    Your one of the few people who like it and don't like it at the same time...

    If you like Portal, get Portal 2. It builds on the basis of the first game by adding new elements and giving you new puzzles. Plus Valve will be giving us free DLC, which is always a nice thing.

    Not to mention that it's long enough to warrant the full price tag.

    Free DLC huh?

  • edited June 2011
    Has it been released early with extra content?
  • edited June 2011
    Very very close indeed. Honestly I would estimate that they are releasing the episode probably at 11:00 Eastern time because I remember with all the episodes that the sites were down for a good two hours and each time they came back up we had the episodes. Anyways, I'll probably be playing the 4th episode while this is happening so that when the 5th is available for download, I can play it right away.

    Well, my 30th birthday has come and gone (June 20th) here in Europe. I secretly hoped, like a 5-year-old waiting for Xmas, that Telltale would have emailed me a secret link with the final episode. No dice :(

    I'm playing episode 3 tomorrow, and episode 4 on Wednesday, because I'll be hanging with friends most of the day on Thursday, so I won't get to play til evening anyway. I'll spend less time hitting F5.:)

    For me, I'm playing episode 2. I was tempted to play today but I had to resist because of the fact that I kinda rushed through the first one without reading every text like I usually do when I play these games. I contribute to the fact that this is the second time I've actually played the series and since I know what's going to happen, I tend to rush it. No worries, I've learned my lesson and tomorrow I will play it like I did with the other episodes and take my time.

    My bad, PM. I always remember they released it during night.
