First Times: Rayman Origins Demo Impressions
Confession time: I�ve never played a Rayman game. In fact I only vaguely associate Rayman with his own series. The first things that come to mind are those Rabbit-thing mini-game collections on the Wii. But I�ve heard a lot of good things about Rayman Origins so I decided to check out the demo. Read on for the impressions of a first time Rayman-er�Raymanist? I�ll figure it out later.
The question is: do I want to spend $60 on what, to me, is essentially a brand new IP? I don�t want to come across as one of those people moaning, �Ugh this game needs to be priced at $40 �cause it�s 2D� but at the same time I know I�d be more willing to take a chance on it if it was cheaper�not because of the graphics, just because I�m not the biggest platformer fan. Still every �new� IP deserves a chance, right?

Hey Dtoid, I'm TriplZer0.
I'm a science fiction, fantasy, and speculative fiction writer by trade, but aside from writing, video games are my biggest passion. I also write over at Gamer Limit.
The first console my brothers and I ever got was an SNES for Christmas one year. Since then, we've owned an N64, Playstation, PS2, and an Xbox 360. I got a Gameboy Color one year for Christmas, but my brothers are more into handheld gaming than me. Every time they upgrade to the latest system I get their hand-me-downs. That's how I obtained my GBA and my two DS's. Handheld gaming for some reason doesn't interest me even though I know there are great games out there. The first console I've ever been the exclusive owner of is my PS3. The first games I ever played were Super Mario World, F-Zero, 7th Saga (which I've written about), and Out of This World.
My favorite genres are RPGs (Western or Japanese), FPS, action/adventure, and RTS (even though I suck at them).
