I don't care for the Saw vibe at the beginning: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GO7Xb...layer_embedded
I love this hilarious comment: "If the voice acting is bad, then the voice is realistic. Damn this? game is perfection everywhere!"

I'm not too fond of the gameplay music: http://www.gamecrapping.com/Download...on-GC_720p.mp4
It sounds like it's trying too hard to be dramatic and comes across cheesy. Also, although I love the facial detail, I'm not too thrilled with the facial animation. The silent looks are excellent but they look a touch awkward when they speak. But I guess that matches the awkward line delivery of the actors (in the previous trailer I posted).
Still, I love adventure games so I'm all over this one.

Heavy Rain is my most anticipated game of 2010, but even that's not enough to motivate me to befoul my PS3 with Home.

It sucks Angelo Badalamenti wasn't back to compose the music for this game, he did a fantastic job (as usual) with the music in Fahrenheit / Indigo Prophecy.

I seriously need to play that game. I wish they'd add it to the Playstation Store.

Oh. I thought all the PS1 games in the store were incompatible as well in disc form and that's why they're available to download. I figured the download was a workaround of sorts (and a way to squeeze more money out of people).

No, every ps3 plays ps1 games. The BC ones also play PS2 is the only difference.

I see. I didn't know that. But why can they all play PS1 games but only some (like my 60GB fat) can play PS2 games? It's a little weird that they can all handle PS1 but not all can handle PS2.

The original two (20 and 60 gig) had the hardware built in to play PS2 games. The next to come out (I can't remember if it was the 40 or 80 gig) had software emulation for PS2 games a la 360. The slim and the later 80gig models don't have any PS2 compatibility. Purely a cost savings maneuver.

I remember the whole hardware difference issue. And I remember that some could emulate. I just though that once they dropped BC they dropped it for both PS1 and PS2 titles.
Anyhoo, why'd they drop emulation? Surely that couldn't be too costly as it's not a hardware solution.

The company line was they felt it took away from the PS3, made it seem like it couldn't stand on its own, so they removed it. Translated - Too many people were still buying PS2 games and they wanted more focus on more expensive, newer PS3 games ??? not completely sure.
If you have a PC that handle the games modest requirements*, I'd just go that route, just be sure you use your PS3 pad to play it:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/9740/
*OS Windows 98/Me/2000/XP
CPU Pentium III 800MHz
RAM 256MB
Video 32MB DirectX 9.0 video card
Sound card Windows 98/Me/2000/XP compatible
Hard drive 2GB minimum
Input device Keyboard and mouse
And thanks for removing the HD embed

Sadly, my PC is crap. I'm (very) slowly getting the components together to build a new one.

First online review is up. It's in German so I'll translate via Google and post the occasionally hilarious and always awkward result below in spoilers
