Nope, but it basically lets you play about 5-10 minutes of the game (that is if it is the same demo that has been around for a few months). Those minutes do rock. Double-edged sword, really. They tease ya then dump you in a ditch to rot until launch...

 

[Welverin]

No, can't say I have and doubt I will. I'll be getting the game as soon as it comes out so I don't see any reason to pay extra for a demo.

On an unrelated note, what parts of M&C and B&S did you write?

I wrote the Guild chapter in M&C, and the adversaries/monsters/gods chapter of B&S. Also, my most recent Exalted book, Aspect:Water is coming out next month.

so, I'm a bit behind

IGN review is up

Cool, have anything else in the works (no need for details).

Looks like they liked it. Not surprising. I should be finished with my first go-around of KotOR2 by the time it arrives on my doorstep.

I eagerly await Gamespot's review. They are typically the fairest in terms of game quality when giving out ratings and reviews. IGN tends to be a little more fanboyish but still credible as they explain why they did or didn't like something. Either way, I don't care what the actual review scores are, I just want to play it for myself.

EDIT: Actually, now that I think of it, the review I look forward to the most these days is from X-Play. Even if I don't agree with the score or review overall it's always damn entertaining. I never thought I'd say it but I'm actually upset that Sessler left.

Hes leaving? Based on what? The meet the sess thing had to be an Aprils Fool Joke. Although the way G$ works he could be leaving for other reasons...

Well, then they got me. I wasn't even paying attention. Oop.

I just assumed that with all the nonsense like "Whip Set" and "Attack of the Show" (The Screensavers never looked so bad) that G4 had totally lost it (as opposed to partially).

I just watch X-Play for Morgan Webb. Or something.

Who actually thinks a gaming-oriented talk show would work? If the question and answers were somewhat critical and if it made use of video clips or the actual game, I might be willing to watch such a show if it aired immediatly after X-Play. Charlie Rose has been getting annoying lately, so I'm looking for an alternative.
