Siren: First impressions

I know I said I'd edit my earlier blog post with this, but for some reason, it won't let me have so much text in the post, so I'n forced to make a new one. This is a direct continuation from my previous entry.

It's 10:07pm, and I've finished playing for the night.

My first impressions are "Holy crap, I was so wrong about the game". I'll admit, the demo was bad. But damn, the full game is awesome! Especially the opening episode. That was the most intense and scary gaming experience I've ever had in my life. Sure, the controls are clunky, but it only adds to the panic as you're being chased by the Shibito (The crazed enemies that bleed from the eyes). I've just finished Episode 2.
Can someone clarify something for me? Are there 12 episodes per chapter, or is it 4 episodes per chapter (Meaning 4 episodes X 4 chapters = 12 episodes)?

About this episode thing you may be wondering about. Have you ever seen an episode of Lost? It starts of as "Previously on Lost" and then shows a short trailer from what has happened so far, and ends with a "Next time on Lost", and shows another trailer about the next episode? The episodes in Siren are pretty much that. They make the game very easy to play in short bursts.

But anyways, first impressions are always good, so let's see how Siren fares tomorrow night, where I'll be playing the next couple of episodes.

Damn dude. You're missing out on some good games. Like LocoRoco, flOw, SSHD and PAIN. Heck, if you really want, I'll let you borrow my account so you can download all of the games I have purchased onto your PS3.

But yeah, Siren is 9GB, which is insane. But if you can afford the space, then it's well worth the download.
