I'm playing Siren on PS3 now. It's an interesting model for a larger game over the PSN, but the ultimate size of nine gigs is a bit much at the moment, and having to install every chapter separately isn't the best solution, but the bit size nature and it's narrative structure make it really well suited to bite size playings, and this is helped by short recaps at the begining of each of the 12 chapters.
The game itself is really cool. It's reminds me of a horror adventure game, and there are a lot of interesting twists like the sight jacking. The stealth bits are the best but the shooting really only works to mix things up. The guns are probably the weakest part. Worth the cheap price if you like this kind of thing. Certainly better than any Silent Hill so far.
Next week Eden and Geo Wars 2. Who needs retail.
