I hear it's very short, and one could complete it in less than a days' play.
Only if you are some sort of gaming whizz kid. I've got stuck about half way through. But I think I'm just crap at this sort of game. Well worth £10/15 though.

That's good...ish to hear. At least I know it's not a simple game like they made Conan out to be lol.
I wanted that Viking game badly but heard bad things about it and I just want a good old fashioned button basher to split my game collection up a bit. This had good things written about it with some saying it's one of the best/epic titles to date for the PS3 (then some saying it was utter pants lol) so I think £10 is a bargain for it.

Games like this don't really bother me how long they are though, as they should be retro like the old Golden Axe or Streets of Rage where you just play it through, complete it and do it again.
No one used to complain about them being too short

PS3 with MGS4 delivered from Currys for £303.05

Seems quite a good price all things considered.

or just under £320 with MGS4 and Lego indy.

You could probably trade both in for at least £50, making the console £270

I loved Heavenly Sword


Gorgeous graphics, great story & voice acting, great action.


I much preferred it to Ninja Gaiden (too hard!) & Devil May Cry 4 (too boring!).

Heavenly sword was the first thing i played and really wow'd me with the story telling, the nifty use of the sixaxis when firing arrows.

Dont know how long their sale is on for.

ps. I didnt like my GH3 on PS3 compared to the Wii version I used to have so traded it.

In saying that I traded it for GTA4 and then got rid of that for Everybodys golf and now I'm contemplating getting shot of that for Battlefield BC....dunno yet.

Maybe simply cause i had it there first and already had played through it all but I felt something was missing.

Yes, the Ps3/360 version had DLC but still it just wasnt right.

I think it was down to the fact it used the wii remote. When you activated star power the whole guitar vibrated and it did add to the overal feeling for me. Then any bum (missed) notes instead of simply coming from the TV along with the rest of the music came out the wii remote speaker. Again I felt this added to it.

I just couldnt get into it on PS3. I hung off til the drop dead murphys tracks appeared as thought theyd be good to play but I didnt think they were very well done and so my heart went out it again.

The lack of DLC for the wii is a problem though.

Right, bare with me on this one.

If you go to http://www.hotukdeals.com/item/200192/2-off-shopto-net/ it will tell you about crediting your shop.to account with £2 by signing up to Eurogamer. The £2 sits in your account forever (I think) til your ready to use it.

So far, http://www.shopto.net/page.php?page=...20Planet&p=PS3 is the cheapest i can find for "Little big plant" at £36.99, but with the £2 off, obviously bring its down by erm......£2.

Obviously you dont have to buy Little big planet.

I personally dont think many are going to go lower than this price for it.

I have a fiver voucher for Gameplay but I think they might throw the game in at 39.99 anyway.

Singstar vol 2 with mics £24.99 ....surely some mistake !!!
http://www.woolworths.co.uk/web/jsp/...2363&aid=20615

You could take the chance that they honor it.
I already have mics with Vol 1 or I would get it. Waiting til Vol 2 solus reaches the tenner mark for me.
