Time paradox
I totally agree with your Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II review, in that thanks to Play.com sending it a day early I'd completed it in just over four hours and before it had actually been released! And you're right, I can't be bothered doing the trials.

I have been playing The Force Unleashed II game that I bought on Saturday. Just read your review saying that it is criminally short, well my playing time has been increased as the game seems to want to crash and make me restart my PlayStation at regular intervals. Please LucasArts, release a patch to sort it out. Oh, and throw in a few extra levels for free!

RE: W Kotarski. GAME seal their games if they have previously been opened. As soon as you break their seal you cannot take the game back, even if it is scratched. Due to this I asked if I could view the quality of a disc before they put it into the box; they refused. When I opened the game on premises the shop assistant turned his back to me and asked a colleague to direct me outside. It turned out the disc was fine but I am unlikely to shop at the Oxford Street branch again.

I was wondering if GC, or a viewer, can tell me the differences between the Wii version of Lego Harry Potter and the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions, apart from motion controls of course?
Matthew Fitzgerald
GC: We never played the Wii version, but the differences are likely to be minor - mostly just the graphics.
The bottom line
I love certain Nintendo games especially Zelda (and Mario to a lesser extent) but I really feel that Nintendo need to compete with the follow up to the Wii. My PlayStation 3 gets used a heck of a lot more than the Wii. Prior to the Wii in terms of hardware, Nintendo have traditionally been neck and neck with competitors (carts on Nintendo 64 was a mistake) but that all changed in terms of gimmicks.
Yes it worked in attracting hordes of new gamers but it really doesn't stack up compared to a PlayStation 3/Xbox 360. We need HD 1080p and a decent sized hard disc, along with loads of power. I'm a Nintendo fan but feel I'm being alienated in favour of the more casual audience with trillions of carnival type games. Is that what Nintendo are trying to do? I've lost count of the people who I've spoken to who say that their Wii never gets switched on. 'Nuff said.

GC: As much as we sympathise with your comments the truth is the Wii has vastly outsold both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. That's likely to make Nintendo's priorities for its follow-up very different to those of traditional gamers.
Offline Arcade
I just got an Xbox 360 (a few years too late I know), but I cannot get it online at this time. Is there any way to get hold of Xbox live games legally without being online? Can I download them to a USB memory card or something.
Damn-fool
GC: If we recall you can use your hard drive with an online Xbox 360, download the game and then take it back to your own offline console. We've never tried it ourselves though so we can't guarantee that'll work.

Has anyone seen the images for Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis's new film Burke & Hare? Don't they look like Professor Layton and Luke?

I bet that Inafune got sacked, he sounded like a right git.

Why do companies both denying something that is a) obviously true and b) admitted just days later?

RE: Michael Crow. I was in a book store recently and I noticed some silly kids books written by a Roger Hargreaves. Oh how I laughed, when I explained people looked at me like I was the idiot!

This week's Hot Topic
Everyone has a favourite game, but can you be more specific than that and name your favourite level? For this week's Hot Topic we want to know what specific level, stage, mission or quest sticks out in your mind as the best you've ever played.
What was it about it that was so great? Was it the way it used or expanded on the game's controls, the level design, the enemies or perhaps the story or characters? If it was a combination why did it work better than any of the other stages in the same game?
Did the rest of the game the level was from maintain the same high quality and if it didn't did it really matter? What have been some of the most uneven games you've played in terms of level/mission design and which the most consistent?
