Psst: Blood Curse/New Translation isn't "SIREN 2". It's a SIREN remake. SIREN 2 was its own game (best in the franchase, IMO; great story, great characters, not mercilessly difficult, and a few awesome twists). It only came out in the EU, unfortunately, as "Forbidden Siren 2".
@laser beams: Don't you think that would be like basing your opinion of the 360 on the launch titles, some of which were better on the xbox than on the 360.
@everybest: Its not popular by a long shot but its also far from dead.
Just because they're pumping it full of content all the time doesn't mean its even doing well. It just means they haven't given up on it and really why should they.
A fun experience exists within Home, I just feel it hasn't been unearthed quite yet.
@everybest: Short answer, yes. It has enough of a user base to not only make money, but participate in whatever Home is leading towards in this grand(micro-grand?) experiment into money sucking devices.
I really wanted Home. I thought it would be so cool to have an MMO without the game... in other words, I plead temporary insanity. It's awesome slacking off from an MMO to sit around and chat, but to just wander around a generic marketing lobby was... pretty weak actually.
Still, I think I'll give it another shot soon and just stop expecting much from it. It's just... so inert.
I was pleasantly surprised when a message popped up in SFIV informing me that I had won a Dan T-Shirt for Home. Does anyone know how many matches you have to win/lose to get the other shirts.
@Jeff Paine: No, and probably won't be for a long time. They released it because they were daft and announced it way too early. Gamers were getting impatient and those that weren't were building it up to be something it isn't.
Give this thing another year and it will probably still be in beta, I just hope that if it ever steps out of beta it will be more of a unified service where we all get the same content.

Are any of those items available to UK owners? We still only have Farcry and Redbull area's.
@Jeff Paine: I doubt Home will ever exit "beta" as its developer no doubt sees it as an organic community that will change and expand with each idea. I wouldn't say that's a bad thing at all as Home still offers plenty of potential, though I believe Little Big Planet's expansive DLC are kinda usurping one of Home's chief "selling" points.
Oh dear God! Please stop updating Home. I can't stand you remedying the arguments against it and just continue to develop it.
Please, spare us both the embarrassment and just go back to loosing the console war, because Home is not a good enough game to make up for the big expensive black box I bought that has no games.
I also hate sliced bread and aircondition. Man those things just suck.
@ShadowOdin, representing the people of Malmö, Sweden: do i need to comment here??? if your A 360 fanboy why are u reading things about a free service that doesnt involve u if u dont care?? people like you are whats wrong with the industry....the inability to evolve and accept new things
Playing your own music = Epic win for the Republic Federation! All power to the engines, home's going into warp drive. We are the Sony. You shall be assimilated. Resistance is a top selling title that you should invest money in.

With special mention to the Mission referenced in this video:
This game gave me nightmares. (No joke, either. Actual, wake-up-in-a-cold-sweat nightmares.)

As far as we can tell, it IS making them money though, and more publishers seem to be signing on to get involved every day.
Bleh.

I'd love to go into Home, gather up a few people and then NOT launch into a multiplayer-game.

Are you kidding me?
The ability to look like a zombie, get my friends to look like zombies, and then go swarm towards somebody elses home?
I may never actually get to the game. I'll be having too much fun being a zombie mob.
