Yea, well the xbox revies are all close to 10 out of 10 and on the official forum most buyers seem very happy with it.
Its not a CoD clone... think more Raven shield co-op in a WW2 setting.

ima dig out some reviews and some screenies(xbox though).

actually, it look quite good, the tv adverty didnt do it justice at all.

I just purchased Beyond Good and Evil and the Quake2 Quad Damage pack so that's probably going to consume a lot of my time, i'll look into this afterwards though \o/.

I would guess that, based on the stories I've heard, giving to the developers themselves might constitute that.
