"unreservedly recommended to anyone who can buy, borrow or steal the means to play it."

That's some of the most positive commentary I've seen in a review on this site.

replaced "steal", we wouldn't want anyone thinking we endorse theft - sentiment is the same.

The embedded article code isn't currently working on Chrome btw. Getting a flash ad replacing the article. E: Seems to be working now, only happens when the Xcom ad comes up.

Not before release, I'm afraid, but we can certainly endeavour to get one up post-launch. I played the original on PC and the controls were hardly optimal so I can sympathise.

Thank you sir. Its disappointing that so many companies don't bother to send PC review copies along with the console ones.

You mean the console controls in BL2 were hardly optimal, or the PC version of BL1?

My PC copy is in the mail. Now I just have to sort out my borked OS install before it gets here.

Pretty sure he means the PC version of the original. The interface screamed "lazy console port" and the multiplayer infrastructure was a complete farce for the first couple of weeks (olol GameSpy).

If people are wondering about the PC version, watch this video from Totalbiscuit on the PC options menu.



Very impressive, and a huge improvement over the first game.
