Prey

Anyone else got this yet?

Brought it on friday (360), wicked game, some great graphical and gameplay touches.

Apparently the online play is slow, and you are reduced to few players, Ill try it after completion.

The demo you can download is fantastic - best demo I have downloaded yet.

Almost bought it but £40 for a game is still making me queesy. So I downloaded it for PC last night. Just need to install it and see how it goes.

Do what I do

1) Go into Game.
2) Purchase Game from Game.. :/
3) go home
4) Play game and complete it.
5) Return game within 10 days for refund

Thus making the game free for 10 days

I only tend to hold onto certain Live Games that I know I will pick back up at a later date.

Don't they get arsy - do you have to give a reason for returning it?

No mate, the last one I sent back was MotoGP, the nice girly asked if there was a problem with it, I said that I'm just a project gotham man, she laughted, and swapped it.

Most of the time they dont ask, they check the receipt for the date.

The ONLY time they were a little funny is when I returned 3 times on one receipt (swapped the game 3 times within the 10 days). Which I could understand really, I was taking the piss a little.

Now I either get my money back.. or I return the game and swap it, that way I can get an evening session on a new game to see if I like it, if I dont I will return it on the saturday. Although 360 releases are pretty drap at the moment, most things are coming out towards the end of the year.

Although they could be phasing it out:

That would be a shame, I dont mind spending the money, I just like to get a feel of a game before I purchase it, perhaps they should do a return 10 day where you have to pay for the game, but you are alllowed to swap 2 games in the 10 days, that way we all win, they get the sale, we get the game we are happy with.

If this happens I may find myself renting them from Blockbuster first, and then actually purchasing them online at a cheaper price.

I have found myself completing games in less than a week recently (they dont make em like they used to) and personally am not willing to spend £50 on a game that will get 6-15 hrs game play full stop.
Heck Im pretty much halfway through Prey and I have only turned the 360 on twice this week, approx 6 hrs gaming. The online part is supposed to be pants, I will return it on saturday and get my money back.

Im yet to have a session on Chrome Hounds LOL.

I've changed my mind - this game gets very bland after a few hours of play.

Glad I didn't buy it now

After your good words on the game, I tried again to get into it. It grabbed my interest again and I will probs play it a bit more now I am finding WoW a bit boring as well.

Some of the guys at work are saying OverG fighters is fantastic - might have a look at that.
