Anyone pre-order yet?

I put mine in yesterday at GameStop who has the special "Pre-Order Edition" with extra single player content, among other things.

Was thinking about it, but want to know for certain whether it's got SecuROM8 on it first. If it has, I ain't buyin'.

I will let you know. :D

I'm planning to do a detailed review for WSGF (my first one) on my barely broken-in triple head rig.

From what I've seen, Far Cry 2 looks like it could be pretty sweet, so I'm hoping that it won't have any DRM systems in it that I object to. Same with Fallout 3. :)

The fire in FC2 look particularly incredible. :D

I agree. I can't decide which I am more excited about...the preview vids of FO3 looked so much fun..but I generally prefer FPS type games.

I have high hopes for both the reviews/previews look real positive..but I did for Bioshock and that was repetitive, corridor shooting pants (with crap DRM and no WS) IMO :)

Haven't preordered this one as I allready have way to many preorders running. I have Dead Space, Fable II and Fallout 3 preordered atm and I think that's enough for now. :lol:

Yes, Mach... I've grown deeply disillusioned of previews in recent months. They're usually either the journalist having an orgasm over something they've been raving about for ages, or slamming it for beta bugs. (Although I have to say that the number of games I've seen now that ship as if they were beta... well...)

As much as I strongly dislike the use of numbers of place of words, I'm also quite looking forward to Valve's 'Left4Dead' which could be quite nice. If the AI is as good as is made out, some zombie fun to be had there. ;)

As long as it doesn't have five million identical physics puzzles in it (Oh! Look! Shiny! Physics!) and, as I said, the AI doesn't suck... Left4Dead can't really go wrong.

Using the Source engine, it should run pretty well on even fairly low hardware. :)

...

I might well be up for some Co-Op when L4D arrives... and this is coming from someone who generally doesn't like multiplayer games (although I suppose technically Co-Op can be interpreted differently...)
