Sad Professor

I thought it was this Friday as well. Play have the release date as the 16th, everywhere else says the 23rd. They also have Assassin's Creed listed as in stock and ready to dispatch.

Zapp Brannigan

It meant to be great. Just read a review but it seems its not without problems.

+Seamless Interaction
+Never Fells Linear
-Technical Problems Niggle

Key Points

Slowdown
Combat Mix of Graw, Gears and Pdz :eek:
Combat Trail and Error in Places
Some Enemies Simply charge at you

The other thing it says is its over a bit too soon.
Still think its going to be great and i cant wait to play it.

Really, ah no, Ace Combat 6 and Kane and Lynch are out on the 23rd aswell. So many games, so little time.

So its just Assassins Creed this Friday.

Still working on the Orange Box and CoD 4 as it is.

Damn, my 360 is currently out of action. I have yet to make a dent in the oragne box and am not even half way through Eternal Sonata. I guess it'll be COD4, Assassins Creed and Mass Effect for Christmas then!!

Exact same here don't want to rush eternal sonata but bouts of Halo 3 are not helping progress through eternal Sonata.:D

Sounds like we have a winner

whitetrash

That's from OXM though. But I hope they're right!

ghouldaddy07

looks like game of the year material cant wait

I have to come up for air, 2 am this morning playing Metroid Prime 3 Corruption, Mario Galaxy waiting my attention and COD4, Heavenly Sword amongst others, and I haven't even bought Assassins Creed, The Orange Box or Mass Effect yet.
I had, somehow, forgot about Mass Effect, thinking of getting Assassin and Orange Box, now I have to rethink that strategy, feck feck FECK!

DingChavez

So...did any shops release it early? I hear it happened in AU and America.

Helix

its a bloody great game so far, granted im only in the prologue after an hour but im absolutely loving it

the intro is one of the best ive ever seen in games, totally builds things up brilliantly

as mentioned tho slowdown is fairly regular which is a pity, and my other big gripe is the lack of a jump function. nothing worse than having your progress hampered by a 1foot high block in front of you

whitetrash

Was in gamestop picking up Mario and Assassin's and the guy confirmed Mass Effect is on for next week.

grizzly

Anyone know where's selling the limited edition?

Riesen_Meal

Got a promo copy of this on Friday, meh!

Have far too many games atm to be playing but the graphics are decent enough, looks like a real long haul, not my cuppa tea but a lot of others would like it!

Kiith

I'll take it off your hands then

Kur4mA

This is absolutely brilliant so far and I'm only just after jetting off into the galaxy. It's definitely up there for possible Game Of The Year and so far deservedly so imo. The story build up is better than any other game I've played for a LOOONG time.

Finding those 21 keepers nearly did my head in!

Scruff

reviews coming in for it now
teamxbox give it 9.6/10
only got 8/10 from eurogamer

DingChavez

only got 9.4 from IGN.

and 5/5 from Gamespy.

Sad Professor

I expected the shooter aspect to be less than great. It's an RPG after all and we've been spoiled by a lot of high quality shooters lately. I'm more concerned about the technical issues, nothing worse than a buggy game. But hopefully they'll fix some of them via patches.

johnnyflav

Anyone know if there's a launch night for this game? Or anywhere you can get it early?

I'll have to drop Half Life to finish this.

tman

I take it this is region locked? haven't seen any mention of region-freeness yet anyway...

God I hope not. I have the asian version pre-ordered from play-asia. I believe it's been confirmed that the U.S. version is region-free so it's looking good.

quarryman

regardless of eurogamer's scoring policy alot of the remarks in the review seem to indicate no more than an 8.

might give this one a miss.
