Post subject:  Re: Bargains, Bargains, Bargains!

I'll avoid the obvious jokes about it being a Gary Glitter LP, adult magazine etc and go with the fact that it's an obscure puzzle type game.

You play the part of a guy who's going out with Catherine but having an affair with Katherine. Simple really...

A strange puzzle game with a bit of a strange story to it

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_%28video_game%29

Quote:
Catherine is a puzzle-platformer psychological horror adventure game in which players control Vincent Brooks, who begins having strange nightmares after his girlfriend, Katherine, begins to talk about marriage and commitment. This matter becomes more complicated for him when he meets a girl named Catherine, and begins an affair with her, and the nightmares get more and more intense.[12] The main story mode, Golden Playhouse, follows the story between Daytime and Nightmare scenarios. During the daytime, Vincent will converse with his friends as well as try to handle his relationships with Catherine and Katherine. Most of this time takes place in the Stray Sheep bar where Vincent can save and send text messages from his mobile phone, talk to customers, order drinks, play a minigame titled Rapunzel or listen to a jukebox containing tracks from other Atlus games such as the Persona series.[1][13]

The main gameplay takes place in the Nightmare stages. In a nightmarish dreamworld inhabited by other men, who are represented as anthropomorphic sheep, Vincent must climb up giant staircases that are slowly collapsing underneath him and safely reach the top. To accomplish this, Vincent must push, pull and climb blocks as quickly as possible while avoiding various traps such as spikes and ice. Climbing up steps in quick succession increases a score multiplier, and at the end of the level, players are given an award based on their score. Each stage is split up into numerous areas, culminating in a boss stage in which a nightmarish creature also attempts to kill Vincent. Vincent can move faster depending on how much he drinks during the day and can earn pillows that allow him to retry levels


I'm still undecided - it got reasonable reviews and has enough of a twist to the gameplay to think that it would be entertaining for a while

Aerosmith was half-decent. Van Halen got universally panned, so I gave it a miss.

Fable Heroes wasn't really a rip-off of LBP; it was a side-scrolling fighty thing rather than a platformer. And was fucking awful.
