Thanks for the release updates. Its good to be able to see whats out without having to run to the store. Speaking of which, you say that Arx Fatalis is out? Have you actually seen it on shelves? If so, where? The two stores I went to say its only out in the States and UK. Thanks. s. Hey Shadow.

It's my pleasure =) As for Arx Fatalis, I have seen it listed at several Aussie on-line stores... I might go out and have a look tomorrow (I live in Adelaide). Just so you and everyone else knows, I get my information directly from a major Australian software supplier... It's a pretty reliable source! Cheers, Shadow Heya stateless… It’s my pleasure =)

I have just not really felt like writing reviews lately. It is hard to find good qualities in games anymore. I just wish games would hurry up and go to the next level instead of just laying around the shallow end of interaction and player emersion, which I feel the majority do. I'll try and put to gether a run down of racing games on the GCN but poor publisher decisions have only made for BETA quality ports in the majority. ..signed, unhappy with games.
