Post by: ManicMatt on Fri 10/10/2008 21:39:20
Finally, the game So Blonde has been released!

The story was written by Steve Ince (Broken Sword)

I've been playing it for an hour, and it's great! Quick loading times *Shakes fist at Jack Keane* and highly polished, it's nice to be able to play an adventure game that feels like it's been made my pros and not amateurs *Stares at Ankh*. It's simply a joy to play.  :)

Has anyone else here bought it yet?

Heh, I rented it, and I must admid I'm in two minds about it. The overall presentation is very high, and I loved the minigames... but I would've wished for a better story. It all seems a bit unrelated; I went through the puzzles and occasionally wondered... "Now, what am I doing this for".

But +4 for having a blonde clichee type girl having that much of a brain. I was afraid that it'd be all "me blond me pretty" jokes.

BTW: Finally released? It's already on the low budged shelves here in Germany!

That's how long it took to come out in the UK. Today is it's official release day. I'd been trying to order it from my suppliers for weeks! (In my shop)

Ah, I see. Well I haven't played it long enough to comment on the story yet..

That girl has one large ass foot.  :o

I have never heard of this game before, I might have to do some research on it.

Also Matt, it isn't fair you work in a game shop because you have so many more Xbox 360 games than I do and your gamerscore is kicking mine's butt.  :)

Haha! If I was really concerned about having a high gamerscore I'd borrow all the preowned games in my shop and play em all for an hour each for some easy points.

I nearly borrowed Hellboy, Brothers in arms Hells highway, Too Human, Star Wars force unleashed, and some others but I'm playing So Blonde and Yakuza 2 on ps2 at the moment!

Does the game of the picture have a name? Otherwise I'll just ignore it.

Yakuza 2 I guess. That's what the picture is called.

Oops, I didn't make that very clear! Yes, Yakuza 2. On PS2.

& an even larger rack!!  :=

It looks like Lula meets Monkey Island, I'm intrigued, so I'll keep an eye out for it in bargain bins & car boots in a decade's time ;)

Sadly, that's not the case. :'(
