Yeah the Sky Keys were kind of annoying. They felt like padding and you had to collect them all at the end of the game, unlike the other two Primes where you can acquire the Artifacts/Energy Cells during the game. I always used to consider Prime 2 to be the weakest of the Prime trilogy but I remember it more than I do Prime 3 so I guess it's a mixed bag. Prime 1 is one of my top 3 games of all time.

One game I'm looking forward to this year is Soul Calibur VI. It looks like it might be the best in the series since II came out and the developers are really passionate about it all in spite of the recent controversy surrounding the DLC exclusivity of Tira. I wonder which side of the "Bandai Namco" equation was responsible for that kind of decision? ("Hint: It's probably the former, they've already shown they are willing to mass produce collectibles and then strong arm people with them into buying everything related to it so not surprisingly video game monotisation seems to be going the same way.)
