From what I hear there's a ridiculous amount of info on the story they aren't even letting people know about. It's the only thing about the game that really makes me interested about it.

It'll be good, but I don't understand what the hullabaloo is all about.

Well, one aspect is the incredible attention to detail. When Altair grabs a wall, he's not grabbing the wall and scaling up it, he's grabbing individual bricks, rafters, outcroppings and pulling himself up on.

Plus, Assassins.

So, you know.

what the fuck is a dude doing scaling a wall

is he fuckin spiderman

Also, I would say this is the 2nd most asked about game of the year after Halo at my store. I'm so confused as to where all the hype came from because the trailers are fairly non-descript from what I've seen. I mean it's a really good looking game, but it just seems like another action-adventure title to me.

Am I missing something huge here?

Well, it's a sandbox title, sort of like GTA of Jerusalem. Haven't you seen any of the videos for it? If those don't get you excited about it, IE: if you're not pumped about seeing Altair chasing some crazy motherfucker through the streets by striding, not jumping, from rafter to rafter, then I guess this just isn't for you.

I'm PUMPED, though.

I hadn't watched any of the recent gameplay videos till now. I admit, those do make the game seem far more interesting than I had thought before.

The climbing up the Cathedral wall was pretty slick.

I hope it gets terrible reviews, because I really want it and I really can't afford it.

I definitely can't afford both it and Mass Effect.

What? Ubisoft said repeatedly that there would not be a demo and I haven't seen anything to the contrary.

I am playing games long enough, so that I can judge wether or not I will like a game just by reading a couple of reviews.

Yeah, Games is whining about it as well. The first real reviews (read: from reviewers that weren't offered early copies in exchange for favorable reviews) come out today. Read those. 1up's embargo (among others) comes up today so look for that

Really, the gameplay looks slick and I've managed to swallow the story. Unless something absolutely retarded or some gameplay-altering stuff emerges, I'll probably be getting it.

SA, be it politics, genders, races, religions, games, cars, guns, alcohol or horses, hates everything with an all-consuming passion.

I was wrong. The 1up review is Tuesday and I'm assuming the other major sites have a similar embargo.

The demo is a video. There is no playable demo, nor is there likely to be one as Ubisoft has said the game is too much of a sandbox to do a demo.

Also I would like to note that this was a stupid thing to say and is largely inaccurate. Though early exclusive reviews may be suspect, this is not a case of an early exclusive. The game has been gold for a week or two and these reviews have all come after that so there's no reason to call into question the reviews based on their time

I am, however, holding out for the reviews from the major sites/publications before I say anything further about the game's quality. Due to my financials right now I can only afford to rent it anyway so it's no huge loss if it ends up being not that great

The game seems like a rental at best unless you have money to throw around.

Call of Duty 4 and Mass Effect will bite into sales as well, as well as the million other games that are coming out this month. PS3 players will be happy to buy it though; what else is coming out for it other than Uncharted: Drake's Fortune?

Good thing most of you don't go to Gamestop, because we don't have shit in terms of Rock Band stock. We're getting 10 for preorders and that's it. News of any further shipments is unavailable, but I don't believe we'll be getting much more than that.

Rock Band, Call of Duty 4, Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 and to a lesser extent Soldier of Fortune: Pay Back? Everything huge is multiplatform this month except for Mass Effect, I believe.

Preorder or you won't fucking get it? Yeah it works.

But the thing is that I don't think you'll see much stock for Rock Band anywhere, unlike regular games which places can load the shelves with.

Where the hell are you gonna put 20 copies of Rock Band on the floor? The box is fuckin huge. And shipping has to be kinda a bitch for it. And production has to be much pricier than pumping out discs. Bunch of reasons.
