Assassin's Creed 2 is due for release this Thursday, 19th November. Want to know where to find it for cheap?

Price round-ups are forum discussions that let the community track prices and trade in offers for upcoming releases. It is an opportunity to share trade in exploits, point out online sales, reveal broken street dates and helps reduce work for staff so that we can have more frequent round-ups.

Why are there no reviews out there yet (bar 'offical magazines' which mean nothing).

That's always a concern.

[Charlie Miso]

Eh? I mean online reviews.

From people who review games for a living. Those guys.

Nice find! Curse you for making me visit IGN though.

I don't care for when the embargo ends that close to a release date. I get a bad feeling about it.
