AoC arrived today. It's been installing for an hour and it's still not overly close to finishing
Hope there aren't too many patches after that, this could take a while!

Is that downloads, sheer amount of data, or badly organised CD/DVDs?

When WoW came out I was off work (lung op) and remember being on TeamSpeak moaning with other MMORPG friends of mine about how long it took to install. Wasn't that the data was particularly large (only 4CDs) but the files on the CDs were laid out in such an illogical order it could never get any speed up.

That's just off the discs, 2 DVDs worth. It took just under an hour and a half in the end. Now waiting for the 632mb patch to download so that's added another 30mins to it.

I remember installing WoW with 4 cds, right pain Luckily I have the collector's edition of that so I have the DVD included too, just didn't have a working DVD drive at the time.

Age of Conan review up: http://play.tm/story/18507
My first review in over 2 months Felt very out of practice doing it. Good fun game at the moment imo, who knows what happens next though as like I said in the review, MMOs change so bloody fast they're hard to review. I haven't reached the end game content yet either and I've heard bad things of that being a bit sparse at the moment.

Tony Hawk Downhill Skater - Wii

Crap

Pure unadulterated pimpage (actually isn't this entire thread exactly that? ): Just updated my blog to include all the reviews I've done for various sites
Need to mess with the layout a bit to make things look nicer, but the content is there. Nokkon's idea to stick everything together and it makes sense.

Not too sure if anyone reads this thread but me now
But Bourne Conspiracy for the 360 is on the way for me to review I've heard some pretty crappy things about it but I like having 360 games to review as it's the main format I play.
Plus they sell better on ebay afterwards

Bah, I'd love to have a copy of Bourne, I love the films and I'd love to play the game at some point. I guess I'd better do my current reviews first though :/

This is only my second review since late March so I deserve a decent game imo
