    Official Xbox Mag UK gave it 90%.  I'll post link when I can find it.

    *EDIT*  No link up yet for the review, but here's the official announcement of it - http://www.oxm.co.uk/article.php?id=6470 .  There are a couple of quotes from the review in it, saying that the map editor "makes Halo 3 look like a joke" and the game is damn good.

    Back to Far Cry 2, the fact that PC Gamer said it was worth 94% is one thing...

    ...but there was no mention of Game of the Month!!!  What is Red Alert 3 steals its thunder by some odd chance in Hell?!

    No clue, man.  Guess we'll know soon enough, eh?  My guess, though, with it being a CE...is that it'll be on the disk or on a separate disk.

    I can't wait to play this badboy on my PC!  Hopefully it will flow a bit better than the first and hopefully they learned a little from Crysis as well!

    Well, given that Crytek and Ubisoft are different folks now...I'm sure they learned a ton?

    Hate to burst your bubble, but the OXM review isn't the first one, the PC Gamer UK one is, and that one has been out for several weeks. It's old news by now :P

    I wish I could afford this game! But what with Dead Space, Bioshock PS3, LBP, Mirrors Edge AND Resistance 2 I grudgingly have to give it a miss.

    PC Gamer UK's 94% is credible and it has indeed been out for a while.  They are usually tight fisted with their review scores.


    I Will be getting this on PC for sure.
