    @ShaughnTr0n: Depends on the genre, true. I've put 100s of hours each in about 5 or 6 different RTS games, Civ 1-4, the whole Total War series (except Medieval.. wasn't a big fan), etc.

    To only play one game for 15-20 hours (not really a completionist) seems a bit short. Don't get me wrong, some short games are awesome (e.g. Bioshock, KOTOR, etc), and I will definitely check this game out. #darksiders

    I'm still still not sure about this game(dragon age origins too) but it does sounds great.

    Good:
    1)No leveling up(one of the reason why i love MH.)
    2)Decent length.
    3)There are no quick time events.(can i get an amen)
    4)A good helping of puzzles and bloody battles is ALWAYS good.
    5)Huge landscape is really good(i dare you to find something wrong about that)

    Bad:
    1)NO DEMO ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
    2)Post-apocalyptic environment(i'm not a fan of them)
    3)What's the damn point of the hood if you're going to be showing your pigs tails to the world? #darksiders

    @excel_excel: I got to play the opening levels at Comic Con, and pointed out how much like Zelda it was. The designers got really excited that I noticed, which I thought was pretty funny.

    Anyways, it's a lot of fun, from what I played, and I'm interested in seeing more of it. #darksiders

    @b-radicate: I should have elaborated a bit more, it wasn't a bad mash up.

    Gameplay felt solid, graphically it was nice, couldn't really hear over the sound of the mechanical bull, but overall it was good. But it overall it felt overly generic. #darksiders

    In WWF No Mercy, in order to get everything, sometimes you have to lose matches. Is there anything like that in Smackdown vs. RAW 2010? #wwesmackdownvsraw2010

    @DrZaius: I do believe I remember one or two matches where you lose in Road To Wrestlemania, although they were for advancing the story, not gaining unlockables. You're generally told exactly what optional thing you'll have to do in a match when it offers a chance to unlock something. #wwesmackdownvsraw2010

    @NinjaMarion: What was good in No Mercy was that sometimes you couldn't tell if you should lose a match in order to progress. The option wasn't always made clear. Though that did become tedious at times, especially when trying to clear the branching Hardcore Championship and Heavyweight Championship storylines.

    Any branching storylines at all in this game? #wwesmackdownvsraw2010

    @DrZaius: Yeah, a bit. Each of the RtWMs usually have at least one choice to make (Which may or may not actually effect the storyline), and you've usually gotta go through them all to unlock everything. It's not hugely branching, but a couple small choices. Plus you can always create most any story you could possibly want with CAS, using multiple stories to create the illusion of a branching, larger arc. #wwesmackdownvsraw2010

    @NinjaMarion: That's what I liked about No Mercy. Multiple, branching paths to take and more than one way to get the belt in the end. It's not just one set final boss. And this was for different belts. Heavyweight, Intercontinental, Tag-Team, Hardcore, and Women's. #wwesmackdownvsraw2010

    Only 10 hours for the campaign? That really sucks, even if it's 10 hours of awesomeness. The only saving grace is that it would have to have a huge amount of replayability. I remember when I bought Dead Space on the day of release, went home and beat it in one day. I never felt so screwed. I didn't think there was enough diversity in the enemies, and it certainly wasn't packed with the level of replayability that I thought it was going to have. Since then, I've been extremely careful about what new games I buy for $60. #metro2033
