    Review and the Quicklook should be going up in about an hour. I have Pulp Fiction running on my other screen with about an hour left. If you are waiting for the review please post and say what you all doing while you wait. 
     
    EDIT: Review Embargo lifts 12:01 AM on Sunday.

    @Delphye: I've been sitting down for a while on a crime movie marathon. It went something like The Departed, Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction.

    I'm confused, does the stuff go up tomorrow morning (tonight) at 12:01? Or the next day? IE. Is everything coming in under an hour?
     
    Also, is a quick look confirmed to be up along with the review?

    @commandercup: Embargo lifts at 9:01 PM Pacific time. So, about 35 minutes from now. Also, Jeff posted in another thread to confirm that they'd have about a 45 minute Quick Look as well.

    Embargo ends 9:00PM Pacific time, 12:00PM Eastern.  Jeff just said he'd post a review this w/e.  I bet we get the QL at 9:00.  There's a lot of stuff to look at and play, especially online.  Maybe he will break it up in sp and mp in seperate and then combined reviews.  I wouldn't blame him:p.  IGN's is up at 9:01PM Pacific btw.

    We do and they're awesome, but I can't help but sit here and do it manually when the big stuff comes around. Force of habit, I guess.

    Embargo ends in 38 minutes.  I know IGN and G4 are putting them up right away.  Jeff said the review was going up tonight along with a quicklook.

    I'm not a Halo fan, but seeing as this is Bungie's last stab at the franchise they created, I'm interested to see how well it turned out.

    I might get this game even though I only have enough money to get one game. I've always enjoyed the multiplayer but I watched the first 2 and a half missions of Reach on YouTube and it looks really plain and boring. I'll wait and see if Jeff likes it and if he gives it five stars and doesn't say that the single player is boring I will buy it and then no longer have any money to buy any more games.

    I'm avoiding campaign spoilers, but everyone i've talked to said that the campaign is amazing, without going into any detail.

    @Spoonman: Yeah I understand. That's how Halo became a phenomenon, Microsoft made it an event that people wanted to be part of, the games were also good and the franchise just took off.

    Probably five stars.  Wasn't Jeff the one who gave Halo 3 a 9.5 on Gamespot?
