    This doesn't come out until the 19th.  Is it purely just reviewers in the system right now, or are there normal consumers that already have the game?!  I want this game so bad, I'm willing to give my right nut at this point!!!  THE WAIT IS KILLING ME!!! 
     
    It also kind of saddens me a little to see that Jeff has already pulled 170 points in the game.  I'm waiting with anticipation for the review and the mushroom cloud coming out of Jeff's head.

    Did it?  I haven't seen it!  I thought they said the 19th on the Quick Look EX for it...yet I remembered a while back, it had seemed like I heard something about it coming out on the 11th as well alongside the dashboard update. 
     
    My right nut is still available, though, if I can get ahold of this game.

    Must be people who got the review code for the game early, like Jeff and Vinny.

    Yeah, I saw Jeff and Vinny's names on there, but I don't know the rest.  Some of them only have the basic Giant Bomb avatar, so I don't know.  I'm just fiending for the game.

    Is there a limit to fully fledged games? "
    50 achievements with 1000 g total but it can be expanded to 1750 with DLC. The Orange Box is an exception to the 50 limit. 
     
    Still, I am just assuming this is a early release version right? That or someone "hacked" the system.

    And the endless achievements system is very interesting as well.  It will cause some big competition on friend leaderboards.

    Endless achievements?!  What is this that you speak of?!  I can continually make heads a-splode and they will keep racking up and making me look like a badass on the leaderboards?  Is that what you're saying? 
     
    -_-  This game got 100 million times cooler already!

    I don't have enough pussy lined up for the next 5 days to keep my mind off that, sir...because at this point, it's the only thing that COULD keep me from thinking about it.  Even then, two of those days involve me working for 8 hours a day, and then I can't play at all next Wednesday or Thursday!  AT ALL!!!

    Review code, or someone else in the industry, or just anyone who knows another person with contacts.

    Right, but I'm sure that all of them aren't.  I mean, so far, there are a recorded 21 players for the game on Giant Bomb.  Is SpaceInsomniac a game reviewer or something?  I don't honestly know, but if not, then why am I not playing this game?!   =  ( 
     
    *EDIT*  Upon further investigation...he is in the industry.  Dammit!!!

    Here what you need to do.  
     
    1. Get hired at some random video game site. 
    2. Get Shadow Complex. 
    3. Quit job, keep game. (Duh you're gonna keep it, it's digital!)
    4. ??? 
    5. Profit!

    HA!  This is a funny thing to come and read, when I just wanted to see what people were saying about the game.  What makes this even funnier is I didn't even check my PM box first.  :)
     
    To answer your question, though, yes.  I am a game reviewer: http://gogaminggiant.com/2009/07/24/splosion-man-review/  
     
    That's me, and you'll be able to read my full Shadow Complex review on Monday, when the embargo is up.  I'll also be happy to answer any questions you might have about the game.  Monday, of course.  Not now.

    @SpaceInsomniac: Yeah, I was searching through your posts to find out, and I saw the Worms 2 thing and was like "shit, he IS in the industry".  It's reasons like this that I miss being a game reviewer - free games before everyone else!

    I know KefkaTaran is Phillip Kollar.  He has the basic GB avatar and I saw him on the list.  Explains that one at least.

    Well, I don't know who that is off the top of my head, but he wins points solely because of his username having the greatest villain EVER in it.
