We've taken the game for an extensive spin over the last week, and from the looks of things this is definitely something that PS3 owners will be able to lord over their gaming brethren as a really solid exclusive title. Check out the AusGamers review for the lowdown.

Minor gripe though, apart from that, I'm loving it.

BTW, you guys need to rethink your photo gallery layout... it has to be one of the most annoying ones around.
Check out JQuery Scrollable for an easy to implement example. You could then add a click event on the actual image to open the original in a new window.
This combo could work too: Combinations demo

some really tense moments, i probably havent been so on the edge of my seat playing a game since my frustrations with the flashlight in doom3.. which is a bad analogy but what ever.

I didn't have too much trouble with the walking controls I found it hard to switch from the traditional holding the analog stick in the direction to just tapping it only when i wanted to change direction.
However there were certainly some very mentally tough decisions that really did make me stop and think and also some very tough physical decisions in way of the game of twister being played with my fingers.
In the end though I absolutely loved it and can't wait to play it again.

Yeah, just did the butterfly trial with Ethan, with the electric condensors, my fingers ended up twisted into all sorts of interesting configurations to try and hold all the buttons it wanted me to at times :P
Ethans bits are pretty cool, it reminds me a bit of Saw, except, not s***.

some of the decisions in the game were very very very hard to make, for once though whilst playing a game, i made the decisions based on my own morals instead of what i feel the ending will be if i chose certain decisions...
this game imo is the first game that even comes close to being considered art.... infact im tempted to not even call it a game and just call it an interactive movie..

Khel,
Yea that bit was the only trial I failed I was so annoyed to because I got lost half way through and ended up doubling back on myself and I was on the last thing I had to go through and I like must of slid off a button or something and stuffed it for the last time and my guy gave up I was like NOOOOOOOOO and on top of that I failed to get the bra off in the sex scene cause I wasn't paying attention and missed one of the cues.
That was the first moment that I wanted to go back and do it again after having been through so much with those tunnels but in the end I decided that if I did that then I wouldn't be playing the game the way its supposed to be played because its a game where you have to live with your mistakes.

f*****g lol.
ive been playing it through again, doing lots of things differently and finding myself hitting every button with perfect timing... still on the edge of my seat...
the scene when playing as the girl in the apartment is f*****g intense.

Yeah, I actually failed it too. I went back and replayed it though, I wasn't going to, I was going to deal with failing it, but then when hes outside and hes like "Thats it, its over for me" I thought oh s***, does that mean no more Ethan story parts? And I wanted more Ethan stuff, so I went back and replayed it so I didn't fail.
Still took me a fair bit of hang wringing and indecisiveness before I replayed it though, and I think its the only time I've actually stepped out of the game and made a meta-game decision (ie, one based on "Which choice is going to give me the best gameplay" versus "Which path do I feel I should follow"). What groganus said is true for me, so many of the decisions in the game I've been making actually based on emotion and my own morals instead of something like Mass Effect 2 where the choices are more about "Whats going to give me the most Renegade points?"

For me this game really succeeded in what it set out to do which was tell an emotional story in which your beliefs and morals would effect the story and all its minor faults and bugs aside I loved it and its definitely one
of my personal top games ever story wise right up there with MGS series, dead space and arkham asylum.
