Already went with Game - decided a game like this deserves to have an actual place on my shelf :)

Also, anyone know if the game supports MP of any sort? Would be good to play a coop game thru etc etc

No MP they wanted to make the most awsomesauciest SP game they could.

but who knows what the modding community will do when the design kit is out ;)

However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)

Any word on whether or not there's a trial version? Friend of mine at work is asking about it.


EDIT: Is the music Marilyn Manson?

Im tempted to order it thru steam and cancel my game preorder - steam has a deluxe digital edition with loads of added content...

decisions decision

game has many items (5 (i think) including an unlock for mass effect 2) and an exclusive quest and character.

or steams 2 items and exclusive quest and keep with storage

i bet whats missing from each will be available as DLC later, or *cough* torrent.  as i know i torrented Fallout 3s extras.

Wouldnt surprise me about DLC - and tbh I do like owning actual media for biowares games (despite a second monitor, a manual in my hands is always good).

For us continentals, the choice is rather simple: buy it on steam for 50(!) euro, or buy it through a UK based store *cough*Gameplay*cough* and get it for 28ish.
Too big a difference there for some virtual items to swing the balance.  ;D

I've only just twigged. This is a single-player game, isn't it?
