Audio reviews can't be as good as text or video reviews, can they? Although this isn't completely about reviews, more discussion.

We're posting a complete review of the G5 and any other products we review on the main site as well. Its more of a highlight reel about the posted review.

I could be mistaken and this might be the console version of R6:Lockdown you are reviewing or something but.

It's not the unreal engine, its RSE custom engine.

I don't think there is a 3rd person mode?

The demo isn't just MP either, it has the first SP mission from the game.

#5.1 LOC on 28 Jan 2006 - 00:58

Well the engine we could have been mistaken on.

I didn't try the SP in the demo, so I didn't comment on that. And Paul is absolutely convinced you can only play RB6 in 3rd person even though we all know we can play in 1st perrson also

Not a review of the game in any event, just my thoughts about the demo mostly.

Thanks. Listening too

You said that in Guild Wars Factions you wouldn't get any more character slots when you buy it, you do realise that you don't need the original Guild Wars to play Factions, so I doubt that they will reward existing users who link the 2 together by not giving them any more slots. If they did people won't link them together I know I won't,

Run them separate and have 8 character slots, link them up and only get 4? surely you must be wrong on this.
