Since I can't trust THG for game reviews, has anyone tried this out and would you be willing to share your comments?

tnx =).

Browse Google for some other game reviews. There's also a playable demo out that you can check out. The game is average at best. Gameplay and graphics are ok, but the voice acting is SO BAD it totally kills the game experience, for me anyways. The game had potential to be a great one, but it's lacking polish in several areas. If you play through the demo, I think you'll agree.

THG seems to give just about every game an 8/10 or better. We need more cynicism.

im guessing you punters live in the that place full of annoying americans they call america :D (joke)
so you might not be able to get my fave games mag PCZONE which is imo a mag written by guys who really do know what they are talking about and as a hardcore gamer since the commodore64 days I trust their reviews of pc games totally (altho in the end who really listens to reviews? chances are if u like the look of a game u will buy it regardless of review)

anyway www.pczone.co.uk features an archive of all their reviews only games for the current month arent reviewed as obviously they are in the mag yur supposed to buy.

now im supposed to be working....

Obviously the guy has seen Southpark the movie one time too many...

Speaking of which, I remember a story about a germen fella who lived for some time in the US and worked real hard on his accent and trying to look like an American. Anyway, he was in a Club Med in Europe with his American friend and 2 Turkish guys with a grunge against America approached them, asking them if they were American. The American one said "no dude, I'm Canadian" and left the scene, but the germen one was so flattered he immediately said yes and the Turks started fighting with him, explaining to him that his people seeks world domination and destruction of Islam...

POST is way overrated, the black screen and beeps should be enough for most people.

Canadians do say aboot and eh pretty much exactly like in southpark.

Wat you talkin' aboot, eh?

Granted it depends what part of canada they're from.

Damn beady eyes and flapping heads....sigh....

Considering I live in Canada and have worked in every Province, you would think that I should know better.

Oh well, enjoy your ignorance!
 
Newfies don't count kinetic_tw.

Don't make me have to come kick your ass.

I don't live there, but I was born there and have a lot of family there... I have never heard anyone say 'aboot' either (at least not a Canadian).

Maybe you're thinking of Quebec. They're the ones that don't count. :tongue:

(not directed at you wolfy, just in general)

I too am canadian. Ontario, but half my fam is newfy.

sure they have some thick accects there... depending on what part of the island you go. but i don;t know of anywhere that they say aboot, and they rearly say Eh?!

how ever I say Eh every now and then but no less then the yanks who like to say "huh?!" at the end of everything.

at least the canadian version is more possitive and polite.

the only people i have ever heard say things that sound remotly like aboot are yanks texaners and those found alone the mississippi.

how ever there is one thing that drive me NUTS

NORM Abram says it over and over... and he's not the only one.

the ROOF (that which is on top of the house, is not the Ruff, (it may not be smooth or anything, but its not a ruff)

************************************************************
ANYHOW!!!!!

I too would like to know how good this game is.
so im going to get back on topic.

The graphis for this game look great, but i have only seen a few screen shots...

Are we able to move the camera around like in Dongeon Siege? but hopefully better...with out wall interferance and that.. how smooth is it?

how good is this game for Multiplayers over the internet?

this is the reason i want this game ... im looking for a good game to play online with a few freinds.

Damn you guys are silly. I live in the USA and I think that our Canadian brothers are very cool. I live like 18 miles away (across the water) and have visited there often! We ALL sound alittle different from each other, but thats no reason to dislike anyone. As for the buttwade that has a hard time with us, We'll just nuk your ass !! LOL j/k
As for UT4, I did dl the demo LOVED IT !! I will buy retail when it comes out.
NOW PLAY NICE ALL !! lol
