Interested to see what people have to say about it...though it really just looks like BF2 and BF2142 to me (which I enjoyed, especially 2142). I guess you can only do so much when you're still developing for 4+ year old consoles.
They did at my local store...just picked up a copy.

I might add that I'm actually happy to see studios continuing to cater to consoles graphically, as it allows my aging hardware to play new releases with no problem

Well, as the second part of my post said it probably does hurt the studios, too.
It's not a matter of which console sells best, but a matter of pissing off your customers who don't happen to own the best selling and/or exclusive system. If you're going to release a substandard or crippled product at the same price point on the other platforms then it's going to turn some customers against you. If you don't want to support all platforms equally then don't half ass it to begin with. For example, I'm glad Valve didn't release a product they didn't plan on supporting with L4D2 like they did for L4D1 for the PS3.

"I think about it like a sports team, when you sign a star athlete for your team... when you sign that free agent, I think it makes your team better. At the end of the day, we want to turn as many people as possible into Xbox 360 fans," he said at CES.
That's kind of funny since DLC exclusivity is one of the things that turned me off about Xbox 360; I still purchased a PS3 knowing GTA4's DLC was Xbox 360 exclusive. I guess I should be annoyed at the studios who sell out to them for the exclusivity, but I see Microsoft as the bigger evil and shift the blame on them since it was undoubtedly their idea.
I would also see this as hurting the studios who do this, too. I mean, hell, if I purchased MW2, and I bought it on anything but the Xbox360 I would see this as IW shitting on me once again as the consumer.
I picked up ME for $5 on steam back in November.
I picked up Rome: Total War Gold for $2.50 and Medieval II: Total War for $5.00
Stay away from the Total War bundle though...it's $89.99, and the sum of the parts is only like $57...it made me laugh out loud

I'm still really tempted to pick this up for the PS3; it sounded like Jerykk and a few others had played it and enjoyed it. Can any of you guys say much more about it?
A little too much copy/paste, Blue? I don't get the divorce lawyer joke on this one.
Yeah, I can't stand shooters like Tribes, Tribes 2, and TF2 that had no singleplayer; they're shallow games that are doomed to fail and never reach popularity.
You're a moron if you miss the dripping sarcasm.

Frame rate is locked at 30 frames plus throughout the game.
Uh, I hope that's only for the 360 version. If the PC version is locked at 30 FPS, Bioware is losing a sale.
Jerykk, you did say "plus" originally. You confused me, too, until I went back and checked the article and didn't see "plus" anywhere. I guess you didn't directly quote the article like you said.
I obviously haven't followed the bug closely, but I haven't experienced it. Is it possibly related to multicore support and certain machines? I know when they first implemented that in a patch for L4D1 or TF2 (forget which) that it made me crash like that...but I've had no problem with it for L4D2. Have you tried disabling that?
L4D1 doesn't hold a candle to L4D2; it's basically everything the original should have been. I was on the fence about getting L4D2, but I'm glad I did.
Gosh I hate these sales...I've probably tripled the number of games I normally buy this year because of them I can't NOT buy the Overlord package at that price.

LOL, no, I didn't read a single one.
snake kills dumbledore!
That's nice; they didn't get a sell here.
meh, that's 14x2 less grenades spamming through the air.
It should show up under your "my games" in steam and you can install it; that's how I'm doing it...
So it's just a way to stir up presales, I see.
