The official release date is today. If Game were selling it on Friday, then they were selling it early.

I got mine on Saturday morning from gameplay.co.uk. I'm not sure how long the game will last, but it is superb. Loving every minute of it

Has it been worth waitng for? It looks bloody good.
I know the feeling mate. I'll be with my boy this weekend so will be gettin the game today. Sorry to hear that and shame on Game as I was on their site at around 5pm checking to see if the date would have changed to Friday.

Why release a game on a Monday anyhow?????

Had a play of the PC version and if you liked the first one and are a fan of EP's IV - VI, you'll LOVE this one

I bought the 360 version so I could play it on the hi-def 42" plasma tv, surround system, better multiplayer (it' not easy to get two people using the same pc keyboard), and get the achievement points. Besides, I like sitting on the sofa to play games these days...

Graphically, both versions are pretty similar though as long as you have a beefy enough pc to run it at full detail...

Same game on all formats I believe. Well I've read the reviews in Edge and Games TM this month and no differences are mentioned. As a cross platform title this is a good one BTW.
