    I actually just finished watching this over Netflix, I saw it was viewable and thought, "ohh I haven't seen this in years, who's up for some nostalgia?"
    My wife and one of her friends laughed at me pretty much the entire time.
    One thing I didn't remember was how many boobies are in the original movie! I do love me some boobies!

    Why does everything in this remake appear to be on a soundstage. Whatever happened to actually filming outside?

    @Slagathorian: Wait, was that the game with the life/afterlife thing where you'd smack beasts around and waggle for 5 minutes "capturing" them?

    The whole waggle thing really threw me off that game, that and i'm guessing the demo was all there was to the game.. could be wrong though

    @D-K, it's not butter? no way!: yeah anytime you killed a badie, you had to flick your sixaxis up capture their soul. Fun for about the first 10 enemies. Then got old quick.

    But the game was still extremely twisted and creepy.

    I've never been sold on a game based on a single screenshot. Until today, that is.

    I'm getting that adventure-vibe again. This is a feeling i get exclusively when gems are in the making. I had it with Shadow of the Colossus, Psychonauts, Zelda link to the past and Yakuza.

    This and The Last Guardian will keep me anxiously awaiting their release..

    It just makes me furious everytime I see someone blatantly copy other's work like this. When I saw the screenshot, my initial reaction was "Ooo, new ICO screenshots". My god, at least change the art style.

    Unless you are talking about the ambiance in general, in which case I'd ask how you'd ask them to change "pretty".

    It's not a knock-off game, it's just really, really similar. I'll buy both though.. sometimes more of the same isn't so bad

    Ive been tempted to get Folklore ever since it was released but I keep hearing bad stuff about it, and I wasn't that enthralled by the demo (though I wanted to be)...


    Now that I can pick the game up for under a tenner I'll likely grab it in the next few weeks... The positive comments on Kotaku have convinced me :P

    @exion: There is only one truly bad thing about the game... The camera. There are annoying things (lack of voice acting, comic book cut scenes) but just think of it as playing a game on the PS1, when no one cared that you had to read in RPGs, and you'll be fine.

    Folksoul is one of my favorite PS3 games so far and I have a really hard time understanding why alot of people seem to hate on it. It must be because Genji wasn't all that great that they say the same about Folksoul however that's BS and you need to play the game and not just randomly judge it.

    I adore Tom & Jerry (almost fanatically so, to some extent), but I have little hope for any video game based on the concept. Very little.


    For what it's worth, I'd be highly skeptical of watching any film based on the property either. It's best years are long behind it, it seems.

    @Intellectualdiot: Try out the Master System Tom & Jerry game. It's AMAZING. It's got a Prince of Persia classic gameplay, combined with chase elements as you're pursuing Jerry. Great levels and environments, as well as colorful scenery and detailed stuff for an 8-bit game.
