This is the only game I know where you can fail to lean against a wall.

Ah, having never played the game, I didn't know. Very familiar with Press X to Jason though.

I started playing today, went through 5 chapters so far. I have played this before and I remember liking it quite a lot - I've always liked cinematic and QTE-heavy games.

A few thoughts I've had going through again:
- The intro chapter to the game is soooo mundane. Almost an hour of wandering around a house or playing with kids. It doesn't do a whole lot to draw me into the story and makes me wonder what the initial draw was? I guess that it looked so good and was a rather unique game, especially if you hadn't already played Indigo Prophecy.
- The R2 to move thing initially sounds odd, but I found I got used to it really quickly.
- Jason... what a dumb kid.
- I like how all the voice actors sound slightly French, especially the kids.
- It's amazing how much Until Dawn seems to be influenced by this, from the extreme closeups on loading screens (or in the menu in UD) to the controls and action sequences.
- This is one of the only games where I don't hate the motion controls.

Another thing I thought about was how success and failure is handled in this game. Since most actions have a corresponding button to press, you can fail at a lot of things.  I'm generally pretty good at QTEs so I don't see many of the failures but at one point, when I was holding down two buttons to carry some groceries for Grace, I thought - what would happen if I let go? Would the groceries fall on the floor? It's interesting when failure can result in something not as severe as a game over but can impact what your character does or how characters react to them. But I still probably would never fail on purpose.

I'm still working on Castlevania SotN, but count me in on this.  I have the PS3 GH version, and from what I understand, it's not an overly long game, so I should be able to get through it this month.  I hope that's the case!

Finished the first checkpoint. I forget why Madison is a character in this game other than to run around in her underwear and be a love interest. It's strange that she was introduced so late, she (so far) doesn't seem to really have a stake in the story.

Sad to admit that I have not even started this game yet. Soccer has been on a rampage as of late; only two more weeks left thank God. However, the wife and I have planned to load it up tonight and get started, so I will report back shortly.  Thanks for playing guys, looking forward to discussing the first 13 chapters starting tomorrow.
