9/10. Nice.

Oh, scheiße, it's utter chaos in here.

Samson's legs are way too short. Other than that, I like it. It's a lot less smudgy than the other ones, and it's a good way away from Beltan Zippan over there.

Im BacK!!!!

Dracula will call another bat when his HP gets below 50%, and he can do damage while healing 300 HP. (If there's any way to make it so that he heals the same amount he takes with battle events/database skills, let me know!)

Uh...just click the little box that says "Absorb" when creating the enemy skill?
...Oh shit.
Thanks.
Actually, there's no such option in XP. Or at least I can't find it.

Mirror's Edge demo is out.

And it's fucking amazing. It's short, but easy to get into and very, VERY fun. If you haven't heard about Mirror's Edge, pull your head out of your stupid ass and listen.

It's a first-person platformer with a little bit of FPS action thrown in there. You can jump off objects, slide under things run along walls, run up walls, jump off walls onto ledges and the like, usually while dodging gunfire. The story seems pretty good from the demo and trailers; you're a Runner, an agent who delivers packages and information for criminals bent on overthrowing an oppressive government. Usually they don't go out of their way to catch Runners, they start shooting at you during the demo chapter, and there's some kind of conspiracy behind it or something.

I have to say, I absolutely love the art style. Some of the cutscenes look like they were made in Flash, and the 3D animation is very simple but beautiful. It's mostly monotone with important objects shown in bright red, and I did notice things getting more blue as it got more intense. The whole world has a slight clay-like look to it. The music is great, too.

All in all, it's simple and fun, but it's got a deep and artistic style. I can see myself playing this for hours on end. There's a Race mode too, but you need to pre-order the game to access it in the demo.
EDIT: Gameplay video.

Shit's already got me stumped. I'm in the first level, trying to get that first document for the librarian specter. I can't find a way to get onto the bookcase.
Also, this is very well done. I love the clever use of events to make an action-style game.

I didn't even know the "Tales of" series existed until my friend gave me his gamecube and Tales of Symphonia ... He was like "Dude this is the best game ever" ... and I was like "It looks gay...", but one day I was extremely bored and I picked it up and of course I fell in love with it. It took me like 80+ hours to beat lmao (I don't like using walkthroughs) ... after that I went searching for it online and found the other titles like "Tales of Abyss / Vesperia and I was like "ORLY?"
Pretty much this except for the part about thinking it looked gay.
