niiiice. I know it takes a lot of effort doing these diaries. I just wish you had time to do more. They are so great to watch. And I really like you don't come up with a score in the end.

Now, I'm actually interested in DarkSector again... lol. :D

Well, DS was basically started almost from scratch when they switched from space ninja to dumb looking guy with an alien arm.
There is *zero* doubt that Gears was a big influence for DS, they even did the "CNN camera" exactly the same way, and the cover system is basically the same.
That doesn't make DS any less of a good game, but the influence is without any doubt there.

The influence is clearly from Resident Evil 4 and Gears of War, but that doesn't make it a bad game.
I beat it in like 2 days and then returned it back because I beat Normal and Brutal and then the online is bad and laggy and just plain boring, so there wasen't anything there for me.

If the game was longer, and they had "bonuses" after you complete the game like extra missions...etc. like RE4, then it would have some replay value.

I would say, rent it if you just want a good first experience, or just wait until the price goes down and then buy it, if you are still interested.

I give this game 7.5/10.

Short game, bad online, no replay value and bad story evolvement (even though I know much more than that)
But the good parts...Intense combat, brutal deaths, very fun glaive combats, great graphics, very good sound and music.

It was, but they changed direction completely. Before it was about some sort of fight in space with weird mechs and a really interesting atmosphere. I was really sad when they scratched that direction.

Tight production. I really love the show, I've been watching since episode 1.

I don't really mind when it's a little bit longer though. It's not like I ever felt that the episodes were too long.

Plus, someone really needs to put this on TV instead of the nothingness we get in the UK.

With dubbed voices? lol

No, seriously great stuff. I like your honest impressions and also the production of your diaries, quality stuff. Just hope the gaming industry recognizes this and you get more stuff pre release that'd be great.

Touché hombres, I returned it on the second day, not worth 500SEK (swedish money).
I said all along that my I liked it for how it was, but my mind would change when I play it, and it partially did.

And no, I won't return to Dark Sector, unless they do a sequal which gotta be MUCH longer and better.

*just bring Ninja Gaiden 2 already damn it!*

What the hell is wrong with subtitles? I think reading is a requirement for most games anyway.

I know you weren't being serious, but it scares me to think that people can't handle subtitles.

Love the Gamersyde diaries keep up the good work.

I'm 50% done this game and I have to say it's really poor. The level design is painfully boring and the game has clunky controls , glitches, and the glaive is under utilized for puzzles and combat.

Aside from the pretty graphics everything else screams mediocre or poor. I'd definitely recommend for people to rent this only, their is no replay value and no story. If you want a solid "dark" type game then pick up the Darkness it's better in every single way.
