So both IGN and IGN UK have given it a 9.5, and it stands at an average of 93 even though it's only out of 7 reviews.

Can't wait to get it tomorrow.

I have a lot to do this week, stuff to be handed in etc so it's really not wise for me to get this game for a couple of weeks! I know only too well what TW games are like :P

When is it actually released? I heard Tuesday, but Steam has it for Wednesday. Is it just the retail version being released tomorrow?

If retail is released tomorrow then we would have to wait until Wednesday to play the game cause it's played through Steam. I hope they change the unlock date.

It's a mixture of Turn Based Strategy (TBS) and Real Time Tactical (RTT)

although i love Total War and i am itching to play this i think i will wait a few months. Still have a few games i need to finish and Total War games can just swallow up your free time.

Good things come to those that wait, in the case the best game this year.

yeah same with me. But it's nice to see an RTS game get so much praise from the critics.

In about 32 hrs I'll be playing it!!!! Cannot wait. Great that reviewers are loving the game but at the end of the day I don't really carer about whether a game is a perfect 10 or a lowly 5 if i love it.

what's the difference between RTT and RTS? Not being a smart-a or anything, I'm just wondering. I still can't wait to play this game, it's going to be the giant bomb.

RTT's dont have unit or base building (certain exceptions apply)

To be honest is just a term for RTS that arent traditional, its pointless and stupid in my opinion. Theyre all strategy games.

RTTs focus on combat and tactical operations rather than resource, or building management. I know that doesn't sound very different, but they play quite different.

I think its just semantics in a name. For me the battles in TW are what RTS is all about, not resource gathering, base building and swarming. I know people like to classify things differently but they should all be under the arching genre of RTS.

Well, I guess it doesn't really matter what you call it, but if you ask me, games like WiC should be in their own distinct genre because the fundamental gameplay is quite a bit different from say, Starcraft. But, like you said, it's just semantics so it's not a big deal either way.

I really hope not, but I doubt this review is going to be better than the last couple of pc gaming reviews from gamespot.

This game looks EPIC. I'm going to restrain myself from buying it though because I'd prefer not to fail in my school work lol.

Have any of you living in the UK watched the programme called Time Commanders before (used to be on TV a few years back)? That programme was great!
