Only two titles worth talking about this week. The first is Brutal Legend which involves the iconic figure of Tim Schafer, the writer behind Monkey Island and Grim Fandango. It also involves the actor/musician Jack Black who voices the game’s lead character. If you are a fan of rock music and/or the guys involved in this you should consider it a must buy at some point if not right now.

The Escapist review

“Brutal Legend is a fun romp through the outrageous culture of heavy metal, and its variety of gameplay styles and accessible characters and art make it fun for just about anyone. Plus, if you’ve never yet been exposed to the creepy/funny/touching work of Tim Schafer, this game is as good a place as any to start.”

The second title and game of the week is a PS3 exclusive, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Sony has always claimed that the PS3 is a vastly superior console to the 360 but it has only been able to show this with exclusive titles. Uncharted 2 is a case in point. It is simply stunning.

It’s not just looks however as Eurogamer branded it with the perfect score of 10/10

“…at the core of Uncharted 2 is an action-adventure masterpiece…

By the end of Uncharted 2 though, Drake has found his place in the world, and so has the developer – among giants”

    I think you should wait on Brutal Legend. It will probably come down in price soon enough like christmas or early next year.

    Demon’s Souls does not have a publisher for Europe yet and it could be a while. I ordered a US version and i am looking for someone to get it too as there are some co-op elements. I really want to play this game but i am afraid i will hit a wall of difficulty/impossibility from the first hour…..

    from what i understand on demon souls its quite hard but dying in the game is mostly the players fault rather than incredibly hard ai. its most definately intriguing. ill look into ebay and maybe pick it up a little later
