What? Reviews have been incredibly positive almost everywhere, bar IGN and Gamespot.....

The Guardian - 5/5
GamesTM - 9/10
Xbox Magazine - 9/10
Games Radar - 4.5/5
Destructoid - 8.5/10
Computer & Video Games - 8/10
Eurogamer - 8/10
The first few reviews I saw were less than praiseworthy. These seem better. I am leaning towards waiting to hear from folks here...barring some kind of good deal to come along first ;)

I was listening to Giant Bomb's Bombin' the AM podcast and the main issue Patrick Klepick had was that it tended to outstay its welcome. Seems like a really cool game but probably not the best to marathon. I can't wait to play it. Wont be buying it at launch but definitely before the end of the year.

SUPER buggy right now, and due to the limitations of VorpX, no positional tracking yet, just orientation tracking. But holy shit this is so awesome.

I need to play Colonial Marines first before getting this one.

In all seriousness, I am glad that this one seems to be pretty good. I will wait for a sale though.

If I believed for a second that you were going to play this game with a mouse and keyboard I'd put some stock in your snark.
