Cheap as chips . . .

Spent the whole of today playing Dead Space. It's good, it's not amazing though. Far too much "oh no! the engine doesn't work! Go fix it! . . . Oh no Asteroids are going to obliterate us!. . . go stop them!" The whole shoot asteroids with a big cannon sequence was about as fun as rubbing a cheese grater really hard against the side of my head.

I was in the pub yesterday and my mate told me he saw Persona 4 being sold for 10 quid, I downed my pint and ran to the shop. . . he was right! Soon as dead space is over and done with I'll crack on with that. . . . for the rest of my life.

I made it to dungeon 4, level 5.... about to fight a mini-boss and boom I die from 5 little baby monsters attacking me. 1 1/2 hours of progress down the toilet.

Someone console me and tell me that I can pick myself up and redo that 1 1/2 portion.

I agree with you on that. I hated those moments, I died often lol. I spent 8hrs on Dead Space once. Longest ever for me. The story gets heavy near the end.

Wow 10 pounds ($17.50) isn't bad for Persona 4. You got yourself a great deal.

They have you do that stuff in Dead Space because you are an engineer, you know that, right?

I absolutely loved Dead Space it's one of my favorite games this generation, it had some faults sure but for the most part I think it's one of the most solidly built and enjoyable experiences ever made. I didn't mind the "Go fix this" "Now that's broken" etc parts as it didn't even register in my head given fixing things etc was the whole reason this team of people were on the ship in the first place, and now they need to fix up some things in order to escape. But I can understand why that annoys people, going to fix a random thing located at the other fucking end of the ship might annoy the heck out of people but it's just a device to initiate gameplay and i'm thankful for it tbh otherwise the game would have been another 3 - 5 hour jobby, instead it took me 9 and a half ours (pretty much straight) to finish, which was about on par as I usually finish quicker than the reviews say and if I remember correctly most people said 10 - 12 hours.

The asteroid section did annoy me, although I finished it on the first try (with 1% shield remaining, I nearly shit my pants) so I didn't have to do it over and over, although I just took a deep breath and didnt even try to get the achievement for that section. One of the games few flaws in my opinion.

Edit: Oh and Persona 4 is a fucking bargain for a tenner. I got ripped off on my original copy, paid 25 quid, got my free tshirt but not my game. Waited 3 weeks then saw it for a tenner just like you, snapped it up and was so fucking glad I did, planned to resell it but after the stupid "Wait 28 days before we can send you a replacement" play.com had run out of copies. I havn't got very far in it and desperately need to go back to it, it's really good.

I got Persona 4 here in Ireland for 24 euro on release.I was damn pleased.
