    I think the key word in the guys quote is LEAKED its a leaked copy of the game. I think I remember reading that GSC are releasing a game patch to sort out teething problems that reviewers have picked up on. So the end user shouldn't, in theory, see some of the problems the reviewers came into.

    But thats just gossip don't quote me on this.

    Has anyone else noticed that this game has now dropped to £17.99 on play? Kind of annoying as I had it on pre-order for £24.99. Its not even arrived or been released and its reduced!

    Harsh, I dropped £25 notes on the tin from Game, it was the same price as the normal shrinkwrap edn when I ordered.

    I was going to get the Collectors Edition for 16.99 but the company fobbed me off as they didn't have enough stock so I cancelled that order went with Amazon then I cancelled that one and went with Gameplay for £25.98.

    This is very true, as far as I know the game doesnt have games for windows certification yet which kinda implies its not working 100% with vista which is unusual for a new game release not to have.... I don't condone leaked copies of games by the way, and as a result I havent actually got hold of the game and played it myself, mearly just watched someone else play it. I wasnt all that impressed to be honest. Whilsts the graphics are shiny it just appeared to be an rts with some clever creature AI and a shooter shoved into the equation. The actual shooting element isnt that good either, the guns recoil upwards in such a fashion it blocks the view of the aim of the next shot...

    I just went home at dinner and by pure luck I walked into the postman, I asked him if he had a parcel for 17 and he said yes, score, I now have the game in my hands.

    I'll try and take some photos if I can get the bloody card reader off the ICT Tutors, damn thiefs.

    Really happy with the service I have got off them.

    The map is rather long and my picture didn't turn out of it.

    I'll take another one later but first I must do some work.

    Ah Play's delivery does usually take 3 - 5 days.

    Thats why I ordered it from Gameplay. Its only down the country.

    Just had a watch of the Bonus Disc, lol good that I'm doing work isnt it, anyway had a pretty detailed walkthrough of a few missions of the game explaining a few things. Was rather informative about stealth and stuff. It said if you knock out lights and stuff the AI will react to that and wont be able to see you etc. Good stuff.

    Anyway. Back to "work".
