Do you like World of Warcraft? Do you like expansion packs? Do you like testing new content? Do you like free stuff? Do you like reselling it on E-bay? Do you like ambiguous times? Do you like development delays? If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, then you should check out IGN PC “tomorrow morning (Pacific Time)” for a chance to win a free World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade beta key. I know I’ll be checking it, but mostly just for a chance at making an easy $200-300 on E-bay.

So, looks like the good old folks over at Valve have pushed back Episode 2, but more importantly, Team Fortress 2. Fortunately, we’ve been waiting patiently for many years, so another couple months won’t be so bad. Hopefully.

So, I installed the demo and was blown away.

Skip ahead a few months. Dark Messiah has hit shelves. I’ve played through the demo a total of 8 billion times. And who didn’t? I mean, how can you deny that dismembering a foe will never get old? And boy had the demo delivered. So naturally, I went out and purchased what I expected to be one of the best games ever. Now, I’m not saying it’s a bad game, but it was far from what i expected.
