Not yet; I'm expecting it next week. Meanwhile, Tropico is about 2 weeks away from coming out, and I've been playing a beta of it: pretty damn neat, IMO.

Whoa! What a rush! That game kicks some serious arse!! My tiger creature is awesome. I had him rescue four drowning sailors, and he picked two of them up and deposited them saftely on shore, but then hepicked the other up and as he was rescuing him, dropped the poor man into its mouth! The remaining victem was let drown by my malicious little beast. Heh...heh...heh....The combat system for the game is amazing as well. Something simple and fun, but don't expect Tekken style moves or anything. I've wasted too much time already... Back to my cowering minions I go!

Ok, my lips are stuck shut, my eyes are red and bloodshot and have permanant dark rings around them, my hands are quivering and my mouse fingers twitch at the slightest sound, and I am nearly dead of exhaustion, hunger, and thirst...
But seriously, this game is worth it! I have not as of yet encountered a single thing about this game that I do not like. The graphics are incredible (at least on my system), the sound is great, and the music is nice in the background, since it never interferes or gets repetitive. The control does take a bit of gettting used to, but can be mastered in time, and you can set hotkeys to take you to certain places. The gameplay is
everything[i/] it was hyped to be, and perhaps even more. My little tiger has its own personality, likes, and dislikes, and his AI is amazing. I tought it to eat villagers when hungry, and when I come back to check on him, the scream of dying villagers and a satisfed cat grace my ears. I was even allowed to tatoo him with my godly symbol (very neat). The spell effects are amazing as well, though I have not as of yet borne witness to many of them. As I mentioned, the combat system is fun, easy to learn, and simple, which makes for fluid and enjoyable combat, though like Tekken or Mortal Kombat (which is good). Let's see have I left anything out? Well, I guess I should say that the manual is extremely helpful, and should be read over before playing (Even though I didn't ). I hope I haven't left anything out, but in short, this game is everything you've heard it to be, and any gamer worth his keyboard will get it a soon as possible. End transmission.
