Finished it already.
If I'd have bought it properly it'd be back at the shop by now, short multiplayer achievements too. The whole thing seems geared towards making it just rental fodder. :S

I enjoyed Prey, it managed to do the whole sci-fi space setting without becoming too repetetive. Though it did seem to run out of party tricks about halfway through, and I expect Halflife 2 to school it on the use of Portals next year.
Still fun though and one of the best shooters I've played this year, was a bit short though as you said and could have done with a few more open sections instead of the usual corridor style levels. It's a shame really that it didn't manage to keep up the same feeling of excitement and wonder that the opening sections had.

Funny how that Roadhouse map is the best one (and most played) considering it's the only map that doesn't feature the gravity changing elements.
Have to say it's grown on me over today and I've been throughly beating all-comers on Roadhouse this evening.
Shame the ranked matches are all but gone, it's a bit like Far Cry in that that respect - everyone's on the 'player maps'.
When it's down to ten quid I might buy it if I can find out if ranked matches are still going on it.
Couldn't face playing through it again on the higher difficulty - it's simply not that interesting next to the multiplayer.

Really tempting me now to buy the 360. At least I can get 10% off in Argos!
Buy before christmas by the looks of things!

You shouldn't dissapointed, specially with all the top draw games coming out between now and Xmas.
Now the only problem is finding the time and funds to spend on them, my social life (what social life?) is gonna be in the decline once Splinter Cell, Pro Evo and all the other sweet looking games hit the stores.

Disgaea 2 AND PES6 online .............. nice knowing you outside life. *closes door*
Just seen the PES6 achievement list, looks like a nice 1000 to be had there, nothing too difficult, mostly just time consuming
Can't get into it at all, kind of play for an hour or so then just get bored of it, it's like this with most games now though which is why I stopped bothering. Sold my Warcraft account and was counting on this to get me back into normal games.
Can't help but think I'd have more fun if the time structure didn't exist and time progressed as you completed the case studies. Some of the side missions are pretty fun to do but trying to keep up with the main story and the really frustrating save system meaning you have to keep heading to save points every time you get past something is spoiling it a lot.
Just wanting a laid back game that's easy to play, guess my expectations were just different to the final game.
Had more fun playing the Lego Star Wars 2 demo, might just go with that til I can get into Dead Rising.

I know what you mean. Though I'm in two minds whether to part with the full game as I just enjoy going around killing Zombies anyway (and the demo only lasts 15 mins). However, the Wii launch looms closer and I need more money for launch titles.
Mind you, I'm also interested in Just Cause...

Heh, I haven't gone back to Dead Rising since I last posted about it - purely because of the save system.
Think I'll be trading it in and will just keep hold of the demo for whenever I fancy a mini-rampage.
Will be trading it in along with N3 and PD0 to get some Wii credit. No more games until that is out. WoW will keep me going until then.
