[oolon]

Grrrr I am stuck at work and have to wait until I get home to find out what the game is! Roll on 6pm! I just hope I don't get one of those Royal Mail cards then I will have to wait till the morning.... AGGHH!!!

Ok im glad you said keep it secret, because i was going to ask if we were allowed to say what it was ...

do you want to put some sort of un-official NDA on the review, something along the lines of cant post till Monday or Tuesday at 12 ?

or is it when ever you have done the review ... post it ?

thanks mate

[Apex]

IMHO think it would be best if we wait till every one has their copy and wait till at least Monday ect before we post anything ?

[Steve A]

^^ I agree ....

[Apex]

I just hope every one else can hold off searching for past reviews on the game, otherwise i feel they will go into this with prejudgement and i don't think that is fair.

[Steve A]

i am definatley not going to look at a single review, screenshot or trailer and post an honest unblinkered review ...

otherwise its a pointless excersize ..

Agreed I was going to start my review with:

I hereby affirm that I have not read any other reviews of this product prior to playing and reviewing it personally.

[GheeTsar]

Agreed - I will not look at any review or anyone else's review on Hexus until I have made up my own mind.

Aiming to have finished my play-testing by Monday evening and hope to have the review done on Tuesday. Hope this isn't too late.

I've done it before where I've played a game, really enjoyed it, and then read a review - only to then think "Yeah, I guess that bit wasn't so good" and "Hmm, no they're right, there are loads of plot holes"

Way too easy to get influenced!

[Terbinator]

My install has been running for 2h20mins and I'm still only at 20% - think I have a dodgy disk

I love the wording on the new thread - it sounds like the intro to an '80s action serial like A-Team or something

The games were posted today ... first class to all of them.

None of them yet know what the game is...

We could make it into a new reality TV show: the selected gamers could be put into solitary confinement before they receive their game and computer, and they have a big fight about it when they're let out after 48 hours of solid gaming...

Wish I hadn't missed this: will be interesting to see the results - looking forward to the reviews guys
