There have quite a few times over the years that I've reached a point in a game that was very hard to overcome. I usually stop playing for a day or two then take another crack it. I can usually beat it the second time around, but sometimes it take another two or three breaks....

I have had two games stop me because they were too damn hard, both of which I eventually returned to. I simply didn't want to lose my mind or break my system, so I took loooooong cool down periods. One was The 7th Saga (not a great game) and the other was Breath of Fire 2(a very frustrating game early on but which becomes a truly great experience).

One of the hardest games to get 100% on for me was the N64 Star Wars: Shadow of the Empire. Man, getting all of the Jedi points was almost off the chart. Just about gave up on that because it was so frustrating.

Heavenly Sword is still to this day hands down one of the best looking PS3 games made (and it was a launch title). It's so sad that the game will never get a trophy patch or a sequel. Great, great game.

Imagine a sequel by the same design team, with at 60fps and the most up to date design tools.

I believe it would be spectacular with the new technology. I would hope that Andy Serkis would reprise his role as acting director AND portray a few characters in the game.

Damn, you can guess whats popping up on my PS3 tonight.

(sidenote: IF I can break away from Batman: Arkham Asylum... wow, I am SO back into that game and that is something as I just bought new DLC for Mass Effect 2, Borderlands and Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation (really good game as well)

I hope to get my honey-do list done before the weekend so I can duke it out on the big screen in my bedroom against the forces of evil.

Holy crap, speak of the devil.

Sure would be nice... could be a while though. I know their new game is getting quite the treatment AND I believe Andy Serkis is working on this game as well.

David, I suck.... I've said I would get this out to you and I have not. I've been trying to find time to finish it but just never got there. I am thinking about picking up the game of the year edition to play it in 3D, so when I pick that up (my brother-in-law gave me a $50 gift certificate for GameStop), I will package up the Prestige (?) edition that comes with the game, leatherbound journal, batarang on stand and bat shaped storage box (over $100 price tag when I got it). Not sure how to ship it but I will figure it out. I know that Batman #2 is coming out relatively soon but I really want to finish this one but to make up for the UNtimeliness of me getting this to you, I will send you the maxed out version. I HOPE that will make up for this.

OK, I've picked up Batman: AA Game of the Year Edition (3-D) and have the Limited Edition ready for shipping... just need yer address David !!!

(btw, the Game of the Year edition is 'ok'... but it DOES have new achievements... and made me start a new game. Not thrilled with that but at least I can go back and try to go after more Riddler trophies and other stuff). I still have my regular edition saves so MAYBE I can revisit those again in the future. Doubtful but they are at least still there.

Looking forward to it.
