Apparently it's only going to be used in the opening scene.

I doubt it. FF main theme songs are always used at different points throughout the game, plus they always have a separate song for the opening.

Edit: Wherever it ends up though, licensed x factor music in Final Fantasy? No thanks.

Slightly off-topic, FFXII's main theme was done by a Jap pop star called Angela Aki, but I don't remember hearing it once in the game
Maybe I just wasn't listening properly

360 Bayonetta demo codes been given away to the fist 200 people to comment. It's only for US/Canada but if you a US Live account it might work.

Once again, a major publication has tried to shoehorn in computer games and violent crime.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article6922201.ece

And as usual, they got it wrong. That's really, really sloppy journalism. What next, "vicious killer known to own a gameboy at some point in last 15 years"?

I think they ignored the real reason.

For lack of me being able to find a/the bargains thread, I shall post here this amazing misprice from Tesco. L4D2 only £15 on 360.

Who knows if they'll honour the order, but it's worth a shot.

by Dingo Sat Nov 28, 2009 9:42 pm

Yeah, hopefully they will though, could easily ge £30 for a copy of it.

Played KOTOR which I got from a Steam deal earlier. I love it. Was expecting it to be good but this is really good Smile

by Kaptain Kaviar Sat Nov 28, 2009 9:43 pm

Yay, this forum needs more KOTOR love!

by maze Sun Nov 29, 2009 1:23 am

Indeed. KOTOR 2 is well worth a play through too when you're done.

I will be so disappointed if they don't make another single player KOTOR game.

by DanglyBrasco Sun Nov 29, 2009 2:10 am

We have Mass Effect until then... Smile

They're making six, they're called "The Old Republic".

I'm only 3 hours into it and if the rest of the game is this good, I'll happily pick up the sequel.

by Moozo Sun Nov 29, 2009 1:07 pm

Tesco appear to be honouring the L4D2 deal. If you want one, grab one now before they go out of stock (if they haven't already).

by maze Sun Nov 29, 2009 1:15 pm

Dangly: Mass Effect is ok, but lets be honest, in comparison to KOTOR it fucking blows.

GDF: The Old Republic is an MMO right? I don't have the time (or a desire to pay monthly) for those games.

Dingo: 3 hours in? The beginning of KOTOR is actually the worst part, the game gets better and better as you go on.

by Kaptain Kaviar Sun Nov 29, 2009 1:18 pm

Dragon Age: Origins is a lot like KOTOR, I heartily recommend it to everyone who loved the two originals. It's much deeper than Mass Effect and while it aint as good as the duology it's still an awesome game in its own right.

by Dingo Sun Nov 29, 2009 2:23 pm

Dragon Age is going on my Christmas list then Smile

Maze - The tutorial section was boring as fuck but the rest of the game has just hooked me. Just done the race bit now, was fun Smile

Serious Sam HD went up on XBLA today. I downloaded the trail earlier while playing Bayonetta, but by the time I came off it I completely fucking forgot! Only just remembered this second.

Serious Sam is good, yo, any other cool people who like it? It's nice to see that it's been updated.

by gdf Fri Jan 15, 2010 10:20 am

I also happen to like it. It's so fucking goofy afro
