    Gameplay wise it's predicted to be similar to AC 2, and you'll be able to customise your character in look and fighting style. Ezio and the renassaince will return, as master of the order ready to take on Rome.
    And the best news it's coming out Fall this year.

    Personally I'm liking the possibilities that can come out of this, so until I hear more, I like the look of this.

    So, I am a 17 soon to be 18 year old living in the west of London, England, who believes himself to be a Scizophrenic.
    I've lied before, to people about that I am a diagnosed scizophrenic but that's a lie. It just makes me feel better that whatever I am or act like can be named and catergorised. It just makes me feel less alone, that I'm not the only one and apologise to anyone I have said this too before.

    But anyway, onto the topic at hand...
    I am about 95 percent sure that I have scizophrenia, the disorganised thinking process, audio hallucinations, lack of apathy, and some others as well that all point towards one conclusion.

    I am scared. Scared to go to a doctor and tell them I believe I'm schizophrenic. Not because I'm ashamed but becuase of the routes this could lead too, such as being forced to take drug treatment or being treated differently.
    At the moment I believe I'm capable of telling the difference between reality and fantasy, that schism in my mind. I've come a long way from just a few years ago, where I seemed to have hallucinations once a day. I'm not a serious case as a lot of other people are. But at times I don't feel in control, I act differently and talk differently, I'm not sure if I'm doing or if someone else is doing it… I just feel out of control and dangerous, I feel like I may hurt someone randomly...

    What I don't know is what to do, keep believing I'm a schizophrenic and deal with it myself or ask a professional who may only in the end make me take drugs.
    What do others think I should do?

    http://www.destructoid.com/persona-5-confirmed--168781.phtml

    So the article says that a new Persona game has been confirmed but presumes it to be Persona 5, as shown when saying:
    "Katsura Hashino, Director of*Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4, has confirmed that a new game in the Persona series is on the way."

    Speculation is on a PS3 release.

    I love the series, with the mix of teenage life and fighting monsters, it gave me the best of both worlds. Wonder the graphic style they may use for a PS3 Persona game. Still I'm hoping for a western release.

    Metro 2033

    Now considering all of the recent post-apocolyptic games in the last year and since this is based from a book, I wasn't expecting the best.

    But really it's one of the most enjoyable and immersive shooters I've ever played. The MC is a silent resident of the metro, the train services in Russia, attempting to survive after nuclear warfare incinerated life on the surface, as you battle mutants and even Nazis!

    Really your whe time is about how you're going to survive with the little and precious ammo dotted around your journey. And once it's gone you're a sitting duck to gunfire or teeth. It's all about how you approach a situation, whether it's conserving ammo by sneaking past your enemies, stealthily taking out enemies like a ninja or shooting the enemy full of wholes. No one method is better than the other, since sneaking past means losing the chance to gain a lot of ammo, whilst being a ninja means the chance of being discovered and killed.

    The plot is solid and actively makes you think, whilst the graphics are great, the fact you are underground in a dark metro, the feeling of being vunerabpe and claustrophobic start to take over. Immersing you beyond all belief.

    All in all something worth checking out, if you enjoy something a bit off the beaten track Metro 2033 can make your day.

    So yeah, my 2 cents worth. Anyone else played it?

    As a species we've accomplished a lot in the last hundred years, from the creation of the computer to the discovery of many new forms of animalia.

    What I wonder is, do the ethical boundaries placed upon scientists restrict our ability to create and discover?

    I've done a little research into cloning, specifically humans. In truth it's not a crazy ppidea and theoritically possible to accomplish with our current tech. However to achieve a viable clone, hundreds if not thousand of fetus and possibly babies would die in the initial stages before corrections can be made to create a proper clone. In reality, the ethical issues in this affair would be numerous and horrorific, many of which science boards won't allow experiments to go through.

    Now, is it worth breaking the ethical issues to accomplish such a goal?

    Are ethics holding back our potential or are they the guidelines we must follow?

    Heavy Rain

    So I played the demo a few days ago, hell, I played it about 3 times to see the different results that could occur and I generally had a really good time playing it.
    I love detective stories, the controls are interesting and engaging, has possibility of multiple endings, and it's one of the few games that looks fantastic on my T.V, the game seemed really appealing.

    However, i'm not expecting it to have a long life span, and it can be linear at certain parts, a few play throughs and that's it, so maybe 20 hours for a £40 game? Though I hear DLC is a possibility.

    What I wanna know is will it be worth the full price at launch? Or will it be better to wait for the price to drop?

    If I fall, would you catch me?
    If I hurt, would you comfort me?

    If I hug you, would you smile?
    If I hurt you, would you cry?

    Does it matter, now?

    So, I guess the inevitable happened. My once shining beacon of hope and justice was smashed down by cruel fate. Oh, and my Xbox 360 is broken! XD

    I've read up on this error a little and I think it has something to do with my encoder chip? idk, something about the hardware, so I've had this console since 2006/2007 and I don't think it's covered by warranty anymore. So I was wondering if this error is possible to repair, or if I should just buy a new console?

    I've been trying to look it up without finidng too many spoilers, unfortuantely i've already learnt one or two things I didn't want to, thought it easier just to ask here.

    Please no *******s revealing all.

    Alright, i'm not an expert with writing posts, I usually just type and then post, not doing much else, so i'm not sure if this isn't already in place.

    But when it comes to talking about spoilers in General Game Chat and Upcoming Kingdom Hearts, I keep having to type in
    which gets annoying after a while.

    I recommend putting a button up to instantely put spoiler boxes up, if possible.

    What game was absolutely ruined for you by accidently/purposely seeing the end or other major plot spoilers?

    And do you avoid them like hell, or simply don't care and look it up purposely?

    Persona 3 FES was my worst:
    I read a small summary of The Answer section in the game, and learning that the MC that you play as dies at the end, and about most of The Journey section, therefore a lot of the plot in the game was unsurprising.
    Not to say it was till an epic game, anyway.

    Not a a piece of work i'd usually create, but was part of my school coursework, going towards my final grade. However since it didn't stick to th original themes I was assigned to, I've had to write another one, with a immediate deadline. I'm stressed enough since part of my exams are coming up in the next few weeks. Anyway, enough with my concerns.

    It's a short story, and I was restricred to 1,000 - 1,500 words, based on a poem called the Flea by John Donne.

    Here it is.
    --------------------------------------------------------------
    It was an autumn evening in the Old Town, a light and cold breeze whispered through the street. I was sitting on an old metal chair, outside of Café Dante, aromas of chocolate and coffee beans escaped from shop. It was the busiest time of day and all the seats indoors were taken, so both, Greg and I had no other choice but to sit in these cold metallic tables… with armrests.
    “What a drag of a day! The ditzy blonde intern didn’t know the difference between her mouse or monitor! And as per usual in my life, Jeff assigned me to help her.â€
    “Sounds like a fun day.†He said with a warm grin.
    “If only. Apart from helping the newbie my day consisted of filing, printing, doing invoices, and then printing and filling those same invoices.â€
    “You need to find a girlfriend, man.†Greg uttered in urgency.
    A chuckle escaped my mouth, “Yeah, that’ll help my lifeâ€
    He put down his hot coffee on the table, and stared defiantly into my eyes.
    “Come on now, John, I’m serious when I say this.â€
    I looked away for a moment. “I don’t know… it seems too soon…â€
    “Ugh, hello, that was nine months ago now, and she left you for some job over in Leeds. Didn’t that tell you she wasn’t worth time?â€
    I continued to look away, taking some sips from the tea to warm me up. It at least helped me avoid the conversation.
    Greg sighed in defeat, until his eyes spotted something.
    “See that woman in the café†he pointed, “The one looking the other way, with the green jacket on?â€
    “Yeah…and?â€
    “Introduce yourselfâ€
    “Don’t be stupid!â€
    “Fine, I’ll do it for you.†And off Greg went into Dante’s. He walked so casually and approached her with no hesitations. Wonder what line he’ll use? He’s new in town? He’s an agent looking to make some beauty famous? Greg was a decade younger to me, a well-built man in his early 30s, blessed with charisma, without any care in the world. I envied him. But I knew my time of romance was over, even if he didn’t believe it so. I was just turning into an old spinster, with nothing to look forward too.
    “…couldn’t help myself, I’m sure I’ve seen you before. John, do you know?â€
    “You’re John? John Doe?
    I stood up abruptly, losing my chain of thought. I looked up to see the woman standing before me. “Al…Alison?!â€
    How the hell – It was Allison Granger! Allison Granger was standing right in front of me, and she looked the same as I remember, curly blonde hair, aqua eyes, crimson cheeks. All of it, right in front of me!
    Greg was completely clueless, “So you two know each other?â€

    Time passed so differently - so quickly, when I was with her again.
    My heart raced, in nervousness… and anticipation.
    We met again… by accident, in the bookstore, R&J was in her hand… it kept me…hopeful.
    A day later, once again, our eyes met at the supermarket. I took it as a sign, and I asked her to go to ‘Lorenzo’s’ tonight. I don’t know why she was back in town… after so long, I thought that...well it didn’t matter what I thought now. I wanted her more and more.

    The meal had finished in delight; both I and Allison were slightly tipsy from the superb wine. I hadn’t held alcohol down in a good number of years. Still, Allison was a trooper, basking in the tangy taste and texture as the wine met her tongue.
    “It was so nice meeting Lorenzo again†proclaimed Allison “He hasn’t changed much in 11 years.â€
    “It’s been 12, actually…†I said, holding my hands in the trouser pockets.
    “Really?†she said in surprise. “Wow… I never thought it’d been that long…â€
    An uncomfortable silence began. Our heads hung low, memories of the past couldn’t be erased, not by me or by Alison. Her white silk-lined top expressed her dark skin beautifully, the moonlight added a glisten to her skin, and the click of her heeled shoes on the floor echoed in the darkness of the park.
    “Alison… The last time we saw each other… I wish - I need to move on.†She looked up at me; the vast seas of her eyes expressed her sadness. Teardrops fell, as did she, into the bench close by.
    “I know John; it’s always on my mind. Not a day goes past that I can’t forget about it.†Clasping her hands together, she brought them to her face. “I shouldn’t be back here…I promised - I never wanted to hurt you…†Alison had become incoherent past her sorrow, and muttered to herself. I sat down beside her and held her to me.
    “It was your choice… you shouldn’t regret the choices you’ve ever made… I never would have met you if you hadn’t!†I squeezed her tighter, “I never would’ve been so happy…â€
    She sobbed even harder, “But I – I just couldn’t – I’m the one who left you! I left you all alone… I’m so sorry…â€
    I could just stroke her hair in comfort, and then I seemed to have stopped breathing. The time we’d spent together in just these few days of her being back, it reminded me of everything good I had left in life. I didn’t care about my run down job any more, how people would treat me, look at me, pity me. I knew only one thing now; Alison was back in my life. I hope and pray to God she stays, I’d hate to lose her once again. But if she leaves, I won’t stop her…not anymore, she has a life too and I won’t bring her down just because I’m selfish.
    “John…Don’t fall asleep on me now!â€
    I snapped out of my thoughts, why’d it always happen when something important happen?
    “Your leaving me pretty vulnerable here, I’m defenceless if you started to kiss me.†He face was right next to mine, her eyes were glazed. The alcohol had finally taken effect. I didn’t want it to be like this, but I kissed her.
    “You’re drunk – you know that right?â€
    “Yeah… but it wouldn’t be as fun if I was sober.†Alison smiled, weakly. She rubbed my chest slowly, but I pulled her hand away.
    “What’s wrong?†She asked.
    “Don’t you know where we are?†I said looking at the view in front of me. The town was dotted in beautiful lights, of all shades of the rainbow. The red tower lights being the most powerful of all.
    “We’re… back at the spot?†she said almost dumbfounded. Her face turned away. I could even have told you the thoughts that flowed within her head.
    “This… this is where I lost the baby…†she muttered to herself. “This is where I was, when I had the miscarriage…â€
    I thought she’d be crying again by now, I know I wanted too. Instead she looked into the distance, at the Old Town. “I feel so alone and empty without him.â€
    “Don’t be.†I replied. “It never occurred to me how much I wanted a child until I lost him. And I still want to.†Alison’s head turned to me.
    “I’ve stiler met any woman, who I wanted to be with, grow old with…or grow older, even…†I smirked at the thought. And she replied in kind.
    “I always thought of you, John.â€
    “So did Iâ€
    “Can…I grow older with you?â€
    I smiled, and held her tight. “Only if I can, too.â€
    I’m not sure what the time was when we got there, when we left, when we laughed and also cried.
    But with Alison back, I know I’m not going to be alone. Like blood, we’ll mingle together and move together. I’ve got no real plan, but I feel like ‘staying in the moment’ as the I always say.
    Because tomorrow’s another day.

    Might just be me, but i'm seeing alot of common traits in people who use the power of darkness.

    CCommon traits are:
    - Gold/Yellow eyes
    - Clothing has a general dark theme to it (a little obvious, I know)
    - Red and Black colour scheme
    - If they wield a Keyblade or other weapon, it has a red and black colour scheme with the blue cats eye somewhere on it.

    This could be applied to:
    Xehanort (his dark intentions shown in the 'Ansem Reports')
    His Heartless and Nobody (though this could be because there somebody already had the eye colour)
    Terra (when he chooses darkness, his eyes turn to gold)
    Master Xehanort (not sure if there is proof he wields darkness or not, but is the antagonist of BBS, so I am expecting it)
    Vanitas (In a recent scan, his eye seem to be the gold colour)


    I know that Riku is the oddball since he doesn't have the eyes, and this may be for some special reason, currently unknown.
    If Ansem the Wise is in BBS without the eye colour, i'm going to say my theory is correct, otherwise it'll be back to the drawing board.

    And I may be imagining, but people who know a few things about the Star wars Universe, don't alot of this traits seem similar to people who choose the dark side of the force?

    I'm probably jumping the gun here, but what does everything the next game, after BBS, will be?

    Will it be about the letter Sora, Riku and Kairi read from the King, an opening to KH3?
    Will it be about Riku's time between after KH1 and before KH2?
    Or will it be something entirely different?
