Just a small note, if you have a buddy you can play online with. Only one of you have to purchase the 800 pack.

Thanks Timan, didn't know that, saves a few of us all buying it :)

however, if you play it with someone else, you won't be able to get the achievements that comes with that content.

i can't seem to edit my previous post.. but the blacksite demo is pretty good, the shootout at the gas-station was great, lots of stuff can be shot to bits (like the pillars and some cover) and it was very hectic. also the last bit that went slowmo had me wowing :p

[Lingwo]

I was pleasantly surprised with Area 51. When i first heard about the game it sounded interesting and after playing the demo i can see the game becoming surprise hit. Also the full version will have Co-op for the main story, now that'll be awesome.

Yup, thought blacksite was very good, pity I spoiled it a bit by downloading a movie file from fileplanet yesterday which was basically the whole thing, but it didnt spoil it that bad was still awesome to play .

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Wow where did this come from, never heard of Blacksite until now. That demo was great, nice teaser at the end :p

Very cool the rain hitting the gun :yes:

Blacksite was pretty cool actually! There was some hideously low res textures and quite alot of slowdown, but if they fix that, this could turn out to be quite a cool game.

Yeah I noticed the slowdown too, mostly when a lot of action took place on screen, ran very smooth besides :)

If you guys checked the gamers news once in awhile you would have seen Blacksite before today :D

Sack the newsposter, oh wait, umm, erm :whistle: ...

I too was also pleasantly surprised with Blacksite, although I can say it was and has been on my Radar thanks to our News department ;) With that said, the slowdown absolutely needs to get fixed, as it was truly awful in certain places. Perhaps the worse slowdown I have seen yet on a 360 game.

I definitely agree on the slow down. Some nicer interactivity with the environment would be nice. I kept butting bottles in the gas shop, hoping to see them topple over :p. Other than those two things, the demo was awesome. Just... WAY too short. Felt like only three minutes long.

Eternal Sonata is available on the Japanese marketplace. So if you have a Japanese account, you can grab it. It's all in English as well so it's perfectly playable. It's breathtaking. Fantastic music :yes: .

I agree! This brings back memories of Star Ocean to me. Very nice feel to the game.

Edit: I just find it hillarious that the main character is from a town called Ritardando :rofl:
