I didn't find it by myself either. However, I was aware of some of the easter eggs there. I had found an amazing compilation of easter eggs on youtube after completing my first playthrough. I watched it there. WARNING: If you plan to play this game soon, beware of the friggin spoilers in this video.

When I first watched it, I wanted some of those huge cockroaches to come out of the thugs mouth 
That would be more scary and/or gross I think.
That would be more scary and/or gross I think.I just finished Cryostasis and I still can't believe how sad and beautiful its story is, the ending was completely unexpected and I'm utterly amazed. If you have the time, do yourself a favour and play it someday.

AI is indeed better than in other titles I played recently. In TW2 I can fool enemies by rolling behind them and just backstabbing them do death, but here it's not that easy, they will turn really fast and hit you before you recover from roll. Plus they use combos, shields and throw bombs on your head from above.e-ahmet said:
The game really keeps you on your toes because you can die any moment from a trap, get killed in no time by monsters or just fall off a cliff if you misstep. And you can't quicksave, so things get really tense and emotional, especially when you want to turn off the console and go to sleep but you can't cause you have to find the damn bonfire so you can save! It was such a relief when I finally found it last night

I think I will check on that one... With so much enthusiasm, the game must indeed be good.
I was wondering wether some of you will try the demo for "Kingdoms of Amalur"... It's a new RPG (EA publisher, indie dev) due to be out on February.
I was thinking if the Witcher 2 (X-box) will have a competition, this will be it. The game really is not that appealing to me, story and graphics too conventional (Slim would say it "lacks balls")... and for me it has all the ingredients of all these over-ambitious games that supposedly want to give you everything but fail terribly at the end (FABLE 3 anyone?).
I'm curious nonethless...
I had watched the trailer of KoA. If there will be a demo, I'll most probably try it, because I liked the trailer. I'm not a big fan of Fable 3 but it wasn't that bad when I add everything to final score. For me it was above-ish average though I was expecting an awesome game and I'm a fan of the Fable series. Fable: The Lost Chapters was the first RPG that I ever played if nothing.

From what I watched at your link, I got some Fable, God of War and Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones vibes. I like the look of it. I mean not only the graphics. Setting, game mechanics, gameplay, combat... everything looks to my taste, I'll probably wait for it though. As my hands are full with the exams following two weeks and I also play Shadow Era currently and I want to play some games I already have like Trine 2, Bastion.

Jade Empire is okay. Not brilliant but.... okayAver said:
At least it's a note of different among the same fantasy\sci fi stuff. There is also Planescape: Torment, which is a non-canon fantasy. It's just.... lovely weird
Only problem I had with that game was that the story was terrible and it got boring and repetitive very very fast. The magic system was awesome though.FREEWOODS said:TWO WORLDS II
it has some major elements i miss in witcher 2. - really opened landscape. Just you with your horse..animals around not necessarily attacking you ... what a sense of freedom.. (in pc game

FAQ: http://reckoning.amalur.com/en/r/faq
Ken Rolston (Morrowind and Oblivion), Todd McFarlane (Spawn et al.), and R.A. Salvatore. Oohh, I definitely pre-ordered this one!
Btw, a different development team (from the same company) is making a MMO of the game. More info here: http://www.amalur.com/
Regarding Kingdoms of Amalur:
Yeah, the heads of the creative process seem like a dream team... but Im really tired of this kind of game...
Dowloaded the demo, played for almost 2 hours.
The obvious positives are the dinamic combat and lush colours and graphics (though I personally cant stand anymore this cartoon type of thing, it reminds me of World of Warcraft and Dragon Age 2).
The negatives(for me): Very generic music and Voice-overs (aside from Claudia Black, who is the narrator).
The story (rather the plot starting point) I find obscure (difficult to follow) and the setting is just a Lord of the Rings ripoff (you're the chosen one to wipe out the baddies that live in the dark East and theaten to eat up all the lovely idylic/English countryside...).
All the quest/exploration and dialogs are really spoon-fed to you.
Having said that, those of you who loved FABLE, World of Warcraft or Everquest, will feel right at home, I guess.

Here is a nice behind the scenes trailer for Darksiders II. I'm very excited about this one. It is a long time to come though.

Are the teddy bears laying around in Arkham City an easter egg for Batman Begins?
I dont mind the cartoonish graphics so much in other games, but it feels out of place in this game. At least in Fable the story was presented to you as if it was a fairy tale book....this game uses its cartoonish look to try to recreate LOTR out of all things!JackintheGreen said:
I pretty much agree with everything else you said. For the most part it seems generic and it feels like the quests were taken straight out of an MMO. Only interesting thing is the combat, if anyone has played GOW you would know if you like this style of combat or not.
Anyone reading this needs to keep in mind that the demo is only 45 minutes long so the final product maybe much better, but for now the game just looks like a watered down RPG akin to Fable or even Dragon Age 2.
