I finished Dante's Inferno and 1Ked it. I wasn't aiming for the 1K, it just happened. I kind of liked the game. It was basically a god of war clone, but the game runs out of steam about half way and it was pretty short, around 8 hours first playthrough. All of the epic battles and moments were watered down later in the game, even some of the later levels felt stripped. The game also had some very annoying time based puzzles and some very cheap frustrating deaths from environmental hazards and bottomless pits when platforming or swinging. Overall it was still a nice fun game that would you might enjoy for a few short hours. It's clear this is going to be a trilogy and I just hope Purgatory and Paradiso will be better.

Bioshock 2 is also out but I'm very surprised my copy has not arrived yet. I should get it sometime this week...hopefully

It took me over 2 months to build up this 10K and I suspect it will keep taking me longer and longer in the future to amass 10K gamerscores. This 10K was crossed with Dark Void. I don't know which achievement crossed it because I wasn't keeping checks on it. Anyway...the breakdown as usual of games that crossed me into the new 10K

• 110K - Dark Void
• 100K - Left 4 Dead 2
• 90K - NBA 2K10
• 80K - Comix Zone (XBLA)
• 70K - Madden NFL 10
• 60K - Monopoly
• 50K - X-Men Origins: Wolverine
• 40K - Sega Genesis Collection
• 30K - Dead Space
• 20K - Soul Calibur IV
• 10K - Elder Scrolls Oblivion

By the way, Dark Void wasn't a good game. I forced my way through the game. It reminded me a bit of Darkest of Days ...anyway Dark Void was a huge disappointment. GS was very lenient with the 6.5 score. Avoid at all costs! Shame on Capcom for releasing this game!

I know I'm well over a week overdue with this entry, because with the last entry I promised some feedback the next day, but I got caught up in work and I little to no time for anything else....plus I was busy with a second Mass Effect 2 playthrough.

The game was a great one, storywise, it was longer than the first game, but it really lacked the side missions when compared to the first game. As a result, the overall length of the game was noticibly shorter than the first one. I ended up capping off my first playthrough at around 29 hours with all avaliable upgrades and sidequests done and at Level 26. The only quests that remained were the missions for scanning planets (which are a pain in the ass to find without a guide). My second playthrough clocked at 13 hours with the storyline completed, all ship upgrades, some sidequests and some upgrades. One thing I hated with the second playthrough (if you decide to import your ME2 character) was the level cap of just 30. You will get to level after just 2 or 3 story related missions, after that, experience becomes useless...therefore sidequests become almost useless too.

I really don't want to sound like a broken record and repeat what was said on the GameSpot review, but I pretty much agree with everything that was said. The only difference is: I would have given it an 8.5 because of the game's length and poor replay value. A weekend rental or two should satisfy you, if you don't have the cash to buy this game.

And lastly, the reason why I sped through the game was because of timing. I got the game on my day off and I didn't have much time to play it after that. If I had left it, I would still be playing it at the moment and would not be anywhere close to the end... and then Dante's Inferno and Bioshock 2 would pile up.
