Demo was alright, the controls are more of a pain in the arse than anything, but I like murder mysteries so I might pick it up. Nice graphics in some bits.

Seems to be scoring well - much higher than I'd anticipated. Seems to confirm the impression I got from the demo that this will be very good.

IGN video review here for those so inclined...

Dantes Inferno? Pro Evolution Soccer!!!!

I'm so looking forward to this. The 26th can't come soon enough.

[Family Fry]

Darksiders got a 6/10 man!!
I really wanna know why destructoid gave this a 7, don't want to read the review til after playing the game on this one though.

[JU!]

In case anyone is wondering I am 80% the Japanese version will have English voice acting available. If anyone is like me and is buying the Japanese version and lives in Japan. Or wants to practice their Japanese hardcore style . The game comes out here on the 18th of Feb and as other Sony produced games ala Uncharted, Heavenly Sword, LBP etc had English and Japanese option this further backs up the English voices. Will be able to 100% confirm when me or someone else gets the Japanese game.

日本語へのローカライズ状況を教えてください。

ソニー・コンピュータエンタテインメント広報氏：
　字幕だけでは感情移入できないというユーザーさんもいらっしゃいますから、日本語の吹き替え音声と、日本 語字幕の両方が収録されています。英語の音声に日本語字幕を表示させてプレイすることも可能で す。

This confirms I think

where is the cheapest pre order ?

[JP]

They did list the audio options and the subtitle languages at Gamescom this year but didn't mention what was going into each region's game apart from that the Japanese vocal acting will only appear in Japan.

10 languages with audio and text:

• English (original version)
• French
• German
• Spanish
• Italian
• Dutch
• Portuguese
• Russian
• Polish
• Japanese (only available for the Japanese territory)

6 additional languages with subtitles only:

• Chinese
• Korean
• Swedish
• Danish
• Finnish
• Norwegian

I wouldn't be too surprised to see Japan get the Japanese & English acting and we'll probably end up over here with all the other languages on the disc so there at east shouldn't be any issues with space in Japan.

[For Sheezy My Neezy]

This is earmarked as just a Platinum purchase for me tbh. Along with Uncharted 2. It looks good, just not 40 quid good.

According to this there arent any cheap pre-orders:

Peeps might as well just get the HMV version with the Chronicle 1

[J0e Musashi]

JPN version has only English and Japanese options. None of this European gypsie pig talk!
