Marathon News
For anyone European who wants to play Tetsuya Mizuguchi’s latest acid trip: Child of Eden but also doesn’t want to pay £50 for it, this news may be of interest to you. First of all, the PS3 version now has a release date. The game will be out in the United States on September 20th and in Europe on September 23rd. What is more likely to be of interest to some people is that while the American version will be $49.99 (The same as the US version), the UK version will retail £19.99, half the price of the UK Xbox 360 edition. What’s even better is that if you get the game through Amazon UK or Play, The games comes with an extra discount at £14.99 (And you get a free T-Shirt if you pre order from Play). Either way, if you can’t wait till late September then the Xbox version is still avaliable from any major gaming retailer. Whether the games works better with the Move or Kinect is unknown although speculation probably points to the former (whether it’s worth the price difference is another story).

I don’t understand the logic behind that pricing at all.
I’ve observed the future of interactive gaming, and it’s Child of Eden. I’ve been an enormous fan of Mizuguchi’s previous offerings, Lumines and Rez, and this 1 takes his hypnotic style to a whole new degree. And, it really is probably one of the best makes use of of the Kinect out now
Child of Eden is like getting sucked into the world of Tron on acid. In this rail shooter the world of Eden continues to be corrupted and also you need to purge it of viruses. Not only is this increasingly challenging, it really is a modest workout; I located myself operating up a sweat, but in a great way. It really is exiting, fast-paced, and one of the most visceral, hypnotic experiences I have had with a game in current history
