Thanks for the exhaustive list. That's too bad -- I respect CGW but they really fell down on this one. Kind of makes you wonder if PC Gamer is selling more copies and ads and putting the heat on CGW to try to "scoop" them. It will be interesting to see if CGW issues any kind of retraction in the following issue. How could the reviewer be so wrong? Even in the demo from last fall the popular way to beat the butch was to put up a firewall.
