Is it exclusive, or do Gamespot just have it first? The post seems to indicate the latter, as does the email I got from Gamespot.

edit: I just noticed this... Anyone else find it a little amusing that the news poster only has a single post? If only all first posts were as useful.

It was like that for BF2. Or at least, they didn't seem to mind when other sites immediately mirrored it.

it's not exclusive, they have it first as in premiere, so within minutes other sites will have it mirrored.

I know I will :)

God, it's like my entire childhood combined into a single, freakish, mutant toy.

It would require a Sword of Omens, for that, I believe.

Ow, well over 700MB there. Might end up waiting for a coverdisk if I can't find a good mirror.

Filerush, we hardly knew thee...

[Scull]

Ok, where are the mirrors? Gamespot is feeding it to me at awful speeds since I refuse to give them money for faster downloads, and they want to make me wait for 24 hours!

[Scull]

Nevermind, Worthplaying just got theirs up at http://www.worthdownloading.com/game.php?gid=1466
although it's getting hit pretty hard it seems.

RIP Filerush....

I am not normally a fan of RTS, more of a turn based Civ/GalCiv kind of guy.

However, the Star Wars license is acting both alluring and as a deterent. I know of the joys of KoToR. I have played and enjoyed, to a great degree, Jedi Outcast. Both Rogue Squadron and Rogue Leader brought me great times. Yet, always in the back of my mind is the fact that those are the few gems that I have found in a mountain of coal.

Any chance of a torrent? :)

Actually, I've been meaning to ask this for some time. Is there a good centralized site for demo torrents? Now that FileRush is no longer with us...
