    I heard it on the Idle thumbs cast. Loved it. My PC has an issue with the game. It runs fine when it's playing, but when the FMV's play, it stops to like 2FPS. I don't get it.

    Yeah, that's the thing that's killing me. It might just be the demo. Oh well, 360 will come out soon :)

    Oh God, tell me about it buddy. I wanted a PS3 for MGS4 and LBP, amongst another 2/3 things then I realised "I don't have £300 to spend on that!"

    And regarding the WiFi thing...you don't NEED one. I run a weird virtual network LAN through my PC and connect just fine. It's tetchy, and my PC needs to be turned on, but hey, it lets me play some Super Turbo!

    it's an alright game overall. didn't really blow me away though.

    i think the main problem is that the three characters aren't really used to their full potential, and the puzzles are a little bit bland.

    also it seems too easy. i went through the entire game on hard without all my dudes dying once, save for the last level when i died all the time. i think the final level is where it's most apparent how utterly useless the knight is.

    I really like it, I've just finished the third level just now. I love the graphics, they have a nice fairy tale quality about them, it has that whole ethereal glow thing which aids that feeling. The environment  looks fascinating and prompts you to explore even though levels are linear in construct. I think some of the puzzles are extremely ingenious, forcing you to think ahead and perform switching characters and actions precisely.

    @Linkyshinks: the first time i drew a box with the wizard and then see it appear in front of me was a portal moment.
