zarx has been gone for the last few days, that's true, but okr was yesterday.

Besides, Lords of Shadow 2? Really? Is it as bad as they say?

I'm a big fan of the LoS saga. The first is one of my favourite games of the seventh gen (I liked it a lot more than GoW 3 actually). The music and combat systems are excellent in the sequel. But the stealth is pretty poor and nonsensical (you're freaking Dracula! why would you turn into a mouse instead of a bat? You killed freaking Satanand now you're hiding from cyborgs? ) and the streamlined platforming is something I could have done without. 

The story is also a bit of a mess with too much going on without any real separation between it all and a lot of unexplained elements just thrown in to fake some sort of character growth. But the voice acting and direction are nice enough to at least make it somewhat entertaining.

Still, the core combat is pretty excellent IMO and I think as long as that remains the majority of the game, I'm satisfied with playing it through a couple of times and getting my money's worth. 

So it's a case of a game being panned by not living to its hype?

I have the first one on the 360 and I really liked it, but the negative comments of the sequel put me off buying it.
