Can I just say that I hate how he talks about a plot twist in the review? He says "OH YOU WERE EXPECTING A PLOT TWIST AND IT IS THERE. AND YOU'LL WAIT AND WAIT AND BOOM IT'S HUGE AND YOU WON'T SEE IT COMING."

Thanks, I don't just assume that plots are going to twist. Thanks.

I have Suikoden 2, and a Metal Gear Solid 4 GA-KO alarm clock. I think those are the rarest items.

Carts of River City Ransom and Gold Zelda on the NES are probably up there, too.

Just the game, for me. When I was in high school and my entire income could be dedicated to video games, I ALWAYS purchased the crazy expensive collector's editions. Now I have to pay for other stuff, so it's the standard edition for me.

ALSO: SO HYPED.

Miranda. Me. The cold, metallic floor of the engine room.

Yeah. The engine room.

There was this song that I sang in church when I was a kid, but instead of thinking about Jesus, I thought about Marble Madness. I had my priorities straight from a young age. I wish I could remember the name of that hymn, the two are so similar.

You make some interesting points (and yes, I read the entire thing). If there is one difference between a table and the new SimCity, it's that SimCity will be working well in a few weeks, and that table won't grow a new leg. That doesn't mean we can't be angry, and it doesn't mean that we have to accept the issues.

That being said, I feel that the free game is enough compensation for the time I wasn't playing SimCity over the past week, and the time that I was playing SimCity with many features disabled.
The game is disappointing, though.

I pre-ordered. I wouldn't say I'm hyped, but I'm going to play it and enjoy it. It's Starcraft.

I'm guessing it's intentional. If you can't save anything locally, it makes it even tougher to get around the fact that the game is always online.
