  They cancelled it in August? Weird. Reply 0

• WOW was almost "a much darker game"

• Toby 11/08/2009

  "Why are we trying to reinvent gta 3/ halo2/ gears 2 etc etc?, lets just make the SAME GAME. /sigh. "
  
  No, they are saying they followed the style and feel set out in Warcraft 3. To say Warcraft 3 and World of Warcraft are the same game because they look similiar is an incredibly daft thing to suggest, even more so when you consider two of the games you mention look extremely similiar to their forebears.

  "The ability to start a Death Knight at level 55 on any server, as long as you have a character of that level or above"
  
  To clarify, you actually need the level 55 character to be on the same server as you wish to create the DK. I know because I had to pay £15 to transfer one over (make sure to get yourself something nice with that, Blizzard). Reply 0

  There's at least 4 other MMO's using UE3, Stargate probably being the most well known.

  Completely shocked if the month exclusive is true - I've been waiting for this for years.

  It's $10k and a *publishing contract* - you get royalities on each sale of your game.

  I've played it, it's good.
  
  Running into the cinema ends the demo, so don't do that. Reply 0

• Halo 2 and 12 months on Live for £60

• Toby 22/10/2004

  Hmm. I'm intending to purchase another xbox when I get Halo 2 (for live), but I'm not sure what to do now. I assumed they'd have a bundle with the Limited Edition version of Halo 2, but that now seems to not be the case. Reply 0

• Payback

• Toby 22/10/2004

  Yer, I agree. The review made it sound as if it was on a par with the original GTA, but it does seem to look much better (resolution aside). Reply 0

• Toby 22/10/2004

  This game looks far in advance of what the original GTA did graphically, from the screenshots it looks like proper 3d. Does it not actually look like that when playing it? Reply 0

• Full DS conference details leaked

  Excellent, I'm sure this will lead to the homebrew scene popping up much closer to launch that with other consoles previously. Reply 0

• Half-Life 2 Steam offers ready tonight

• Toby 07/10/2004

  So six quid to upgrade to 'silver'. Quite why anyone over the age of 15 would want 'gold' is beyond me. Reply 0

• Half-Life 2 pre-load moves onto fifth phase

• Toby 30/09/2004

  "Oh no! The lorry driver has stopped for a cup of tea!"
  
  Heh.
  
  "Errr, because presumably a lot of people are actually preloading it?"
  
  Well presumably they don't need you to tell them, then. Slim has a point I suppose, as does swelt. I still think anyone who is downloading it would more than likely be keeping an eye on Steam or the Steam webpage, though. Reply 0
