Early review to tide you over.

Wish I could get this right away, but I don't yet have a PC that can play it. Currently I'm planning on waiting until January to build a system for it, but Dell has a 25% off XPS systems that is calling my name. Hmmm...

Here is another review

I'll pick it up when it's on sale.

I couldn't care less until, for shits and giggles, I entertained that microsoft "check if your system can run XXX..." and I came up closer to recommened than minimum. Considering my video card is second hand and I figured I would be well below the min....I am thinking I will pick this up to be my first adult computer video game! (Xbox and many consoles plus Might and Magic VI back in the day!! for background.)

almost time!!!

9 minutes.. now i only wish i could afford it

and it's unlocked.. go

It's unlocking my files now. It's at 30%. Hurry up dammit!!!

And in related news

Halflife 2 is delayed for 1 more year, allowing the 3 million people who bought it time to unlock their files.

34%...this is torture

52% now.

Ah!

It's done loading!!!! See ya guys!

Man it must be getting slammed beyond belief. Who needs a ddos attack when you've got this many fanboys?
