So I go into Gamestop today to see if I can reserve Hotel Dusk. Of course, I'm lucky enough to get the "Dude" cashier. It was in their system but he couldn't make a reserve or tell me when it was coming out. (Nintendo's site says Jan 22nd) After making five phone calls, none of the other stores had a clue either. Looks like I'm screwed out of the title yet again. Thanks Gamestop! Sure glad you own every freaking game store in town.

NoA haven't hyped this at all.

Might be a limited release thingy.

Adventure games just aren't hyped the way they used to be.

With that boxart it's a wonder they're even allowed to release it.

...am I missing something?

That's got to be the worst box art in history. It looks like something a five year old makes for their blog as a placeholder.

"Durrr durr...I've got tow pieces of concept art...I'll just blurr them together so they're one image! DURR DURR. And I'll make the title RED because I like red. And OMG my programz makes shadows! AND THE TEXT CAN GLOW! OMG LOOK AT IT! IT'S GLOWING! OMGZ I AM SO HAPPY!!! OH...I PUBLISHED IT WITHOUT CHANGING THE FONT...oh wellz...IT GLOWS WHO CARES!!!!!!"

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #6 on:** January 06, 2007, 07:42:15 PM »

Yeah, the font they used is pretty bad...Thankfully the art is really good...

Requiem · « **Reply #7 on:** January 06, 2007, 08:01:25 PM »

I don't think it's half bad...

It's kinda mysterious...

I agree that the text is very "I just learned Photoshop"ish... but the pictures themselves are great in the way they are used and see no problem with the cover as a whole on account of it.

Personally, I like it. Has a hardboiled Sam Spade/Thin Man/Phillip Marlowe feel to it.

Holy crap, EGM, the most harsh gaming mag out there, gave Hotel Dusk an 8, 8, and a 10...Can't wait!

nitsu niflheim · « **Reply #16 on:** January 08, 2007, 07:24:04 AM »

I'm glad I put my order in, because it looks like the kind of game I could fall in love with.

That's like a rating of 70 from Famitsu!

I'm still surprised that EGM picked the Wii over the PS3 in their Wii vs PS3 issue.

IceCold · « **Reply #19 on:** January 22, 2007, 07:48:55 AM »

How come there's been so little buzz about this game? Only two reviews up, and we can't even read them (magazines)..

The release date is today.

Show's they're inconsistent and therefore CANNOT BE TRUSTED.

Etoychest has a review up. It seems that the game is meatier than Trace Memory, which is good, and it doesn't lead you around by a string, which is also good. And the conversation system sounds intriguing.

Edit: gamepro has a review up too.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #22 on:** January 22, 2007, 05:56:28 PM »

I don't care in NWR gives the game a -13 out of 10, I'm getting it.

vudu · « **Reply #23 on:** January 23, 2007, 06:03:13 AM »

I'm torn between this and Phoenix Wright 2. I'll pick up both of them eventually, but which do I play first? The suspense is killing me!

UltimatePartyBear · « **Reply #24 on:** January 23, 2007, 07:09:09 AM »

Buy the one that will disappear from store shelves because Capcom only made three dozen copies first.
