I if you look at the nexus community boards, was realy enthused about this game back when. I did the SP demo and when they released one I tried the MP demo. The reason I did not get sooooooo happy about it anymore is this. Vevendi in thier great *coff* *coff* wisdom decided that it would be neato to release Nexus in Europe on November5/04 and then in North America on February5/05. See a problem there ? This game has a very high learning curve to some degree. So a player entering from NA would be so far behind the curve of the Europeans...well...you get the picture.

I wonder if our European colleague working in the online sales of games and movies *coughAngelcough* might be able to finesse a deal for us....

I didn't like the SP demo.

However the MP demo is awesome once you get the hang of things.

Dropping shields in one volley and then watching your shells impact on their hull... almost like watching a movie.

Our price for it at present is £17.99 (approx $32-$34)

You can order it here if you want it early:

I see on its sales history that it has started shipping os its all good.

Alternatively you can always visit Mexico and pick up a copy :D

Mexico is realistically as far away as Britain for us East Coasters.

TIIIIGHT!!!!!!!!! Tomorrow Im going to San Antonio for Thanks giving and then Im heading with my homie to see his mom (whom he hasnt seen in like 17 years) in McAllen!! And then its on to Laredo to shop with the familty and you know what from the marketplace/bazaar/flea market we go to I could literally hit Mexican soil with a rock. Nueve laredo is about 200 ft away. Ive walked the border many times to go get Xanax, Valiums and to get drunk off of my ass they would probably recognise me and remember me at the border check point, I made quite the impression on them last time ;)
