I think games are better when they're kept secret for longer, is it me or do games seem better when all the good stuff and unlockables are kept quiet until you actually buy the game. It is more satisfying when they come out. Think about Vice City, ok we did know quite a lot about it but there still was quite a few secrets like you can get 5 different helicopters or 6 different motorbikes (we knew there was motorbikes and helicopters but not how many). Does anyone else feel that there should be some parts of games that are totally secret to allow a little bit of a surprise.

I see KYZ22 and Father C's point but like i said you don't have to keep it all a secret just little bits and pieces.
