"and be a U.S. resident."

OH FFS.

I'm in the UK, and ordered mine from HMV in October - I've been told I should receive it tomorrow.

I wouldn't rule it out in honesty - I just really, really want a new, good, Sonic game.

Would I buy a 2D Halo? No. Would I buy a 2D Sonic? Hell yes.

I got all excited and then got told this wasn't available in Europe. Damn you, a) Microsoft b) Joystiq for destroying my hopes!

Forget Guitar Hero, I'm gonna buy two of these, give one to a mate and pretend to be Bill and Ted.

In a straight choice between correct grammar and cheaper Lumines, I know what I'd rather have.

Of course sequels can be remarkable. Mario 64, Grand Theft Auto 3, Zelda: Ocarina Of Time straight off the top of my head. Why? They were all significant departures from their predecessor's gameplay mechanics while being faithful to the spirit of the original games.

Stop me if I'm wrong, but couldn't this be an incredibly valuable technique to unite international gamers? If you're doing speech-to-text surely you can do translation at the same time?

Man.. three A-Levels, two gap years and a degree after I signed up to the TF2 boards, and I finally get to play it! I doubt it'll be quite worth the wait though...
