Yeah sure:

1-2 hours for those bonus chambers, depending on your skill level. Longer if you get stuck on one of them. There are also the new advanced chambers, which are 15-30 minutes extra. And the achievements will take 2-3 run throughs of the main Portal game to get for most people, although you can probably do it in 1 run through if you use a guide and you get lucky with the achievement that requires you to only ever enter the orange portal. That achievement is a bitch because you don't know if you've done it right until the end, I've tried getting it twice now with no luck.

I've got a review all written up with this info. in and it's ready to go on the main site but we're currently debating the score so I dunno when that'll be put up.

 

If you're referring to the advanced versions of the chambers in the main game, those aren't new, they were in the orignal version of Portal. The only new content is the 14 bonus chambers and the new achievements.

And why are you struggling with Out of the Blue?

Right Trigger = Where You Want To go
Left Trigger = Where You Are

Just remember that, and always shoot a new set of Portals anytime you go anywhere. I did it and the bullet free achievement in the same run. Only tricky part is at the end of chamber 18 when you're flying in the air you have to remember to shoot a new portal where you land before hitting the ground.

If you're already in the habit of using orange for entering and blue for exiting the energy balls shouldn't be a problem. Can't speak for lingering in portals since I was paranoid and never stayed in them myself. Don't recall throwing any items through the portals either, although I did pull the companion cube through a portal without entering it. As for the cramped jump, it's near the end of the game so it'd be a good idea to just leave a save there. When I did it I seemed to get some extra boost in my jump and went right out. Hope it works for you this time.

Well, I've begun what I've put off doing for the last 7 months or so, playing Devil May Cry 4 on Dante Must Die mode. It's not so bad so far but it never ceases to amaze me how I forget every move and level in all these games after about 2 months. Hopefully I'll be able to finally beat the Bloody Palace levels with the super costumes after I beat Dante Must Die.

That'll be my warm up before Gears of War 2 comes out.

@Eagles & other EU'ers

With North America's Rock Band 2 release details mostly squared away, Eurogamer reports that the title has some European release dates set. Rock Band 2 will begin its tour by launching on the Xbox 360 in Europe on Nov. 14 and making its way to the UK on Nov. 21. Instruments designed for the sequel will become available on the continent in December.

There's currently no price announced for the instrument bundles, which is probably for the best considering the drama the cost caused last time (though consumers recently got some slight relief). Those who don't subscribe to rhythm game fidelity can always pick up the Guitar Hero World Tour bundle, which will be released in early November and should be compatible with RB2.

Update 2: Harmonix sent us the official release. No word on other consoles The only date on here is the Nov. 14 release for Europe and "standalone hardware" releasing in December.

New joiners will be added next update.

The Rock Band 2 EU announcement is the best news Ive heard since my Fable 2 savegame died and freezes every 5 mins. Im asking for a refund because Amazon is out of stock and cant send a replacement. Something out there really doesnt want me to play Fable 2, but its such a great game, I was really enjoying it :(.

O well, Fallout 3 comes in 2 days anyway! :)

Enjoy the update. Its been a while I know, life happens.



EaglesEye379 on 29 October 2008

Bit of explanation of the new format of the Platinums. It was taking me far too long to keep on copying and pasting the game pictures. Having it in this format with words will drastically reduce my update time and keep me motivated :). I save as much as half an hour.



EaglesEye379 on 29 October 2008

@Machina

As far as I know there is no way to pass on that work since I have to edit it in the post and cannot be done in Excel. Anything done in Excel like the current format speeds up things tremendously.

On the bright side, now I can order it by whos got the most. And changes are clearly seen in red font. If you want to search for a game, just use Ctrl - F :)



EaglesEye379 on 29 October 2008

Might as well mourn the death of my Fable 2 disc and save game while youre at it.

Still cant believe Im the only one here that had such a problem.

I would have so got 1000 if I could continue. By the way Machina, why arent you playing it?!



SleepWaking on 29 October 2008

EaglesEye Is guitar hero going to be same case as Rockband?? When is it actually going to be released in Europe, everybody says something different.
