I loved Heavenly Sword--hated Lair though...but back on topic...
In Eye of Judgment, the fortresses CAN'T attack--they can only counterattack. (That's why it never attacks when you point it in the right direction)
Anyhow, I love this game. I didn't have any of the lag or lengthy wait problems you were having, and have had no problems creating "custom" games. Addictive & really reminds me of the old school days playing Magic the Gathering. I have had some problems with the camera reading cards, but I think it's the lighting conditions for the most part. I put another light in my gaming room, and it seems to read everytime now (which it does suck having to have a room really bright to play a game).
Ratchet & Clank I can't really speak for though. I've only played the demo (which was good), but I'm not a huge fan of platformers.
Well, I now only have access to a PS3 & 360...Plan on buying a wii soon (lol, if I can ever find one available!) but will probably wait until some of the major RPG's come out like Dragon Quest & Tales, etc.
Anyhow, I'm so far behind in games to play that I'm not in a huge hurry (lol, haven't even gotten a chance to finish God of War II yet!)
