[Kurt Angle]

Oh yes, I think I can vaguely remember this game.

*dusts off 2 year old computer mag*

damn the server for that Board is damn ass slow I got bored and left im sure the page would still be loading

Wow, a feature-rich game turned feature-less is still being gaga\'ed over just for its gold announcement?

[Jumpman]

Bleh, lost interest in this game when it went all demonic. I was liking the look of it when the idea was you could go in a village and throw rocks on people\'s doors and kill anyone you want.

Now, just bleh too little too late.
