Anyone going to be playing this? I don't know much about it except that it's character creation options are insanely detailed and you can make just about anyone you want. I don't think it has a monthly subscription, but you do have to pay at least $30-$50 for the game initially. I'll look into it some more after I eventually get my new video card. It looks visually good, but that doesn't mean much if the game itself has flawed mechanics and horrible translations. Its launch date is tomorrow so I'm sure a bunch of reviews will be popping up over the next couple weeks.

As exciting as this can be all I really needed was 1&2 to be released on Steam. Here's hoping they might do that as well.

I haven't been in the gamestop near me in over a year. I usually do all my game shopping online. Looks like thats a trend thats leading to store closures. With the new consoles coming out later this year and with digital downloads gaining in popularity, I think its only a matter of time before Gamestop will have to change their market strategy or be forced to close more stores.

I just downloaded Steam for the first time so I can get my hands on the free portal download.

Anyone else use steam? Is it a good service? Are there unexpected charges that I should watch out for?
