I still don't see how you guys decided it was Live.  On the site the logo is just Games for Windows, and we have had games that are Games for Windows and have MP, but are not Live. Games for Windows and Games for Windows Live are completely different things.

Seeing as the company behind it has made games only for consoles and the LOTR games have gotten worse with every new one i see no hope in this. It will be just another dumbed down, very short, crappy port, 60$ game...
If im wrong i will eat my sock and tape it.

So probably you missed BG Dark Alliance and Champions of Norrath, maybe you're not from that time. Snowblind's a great company, and they make AAA action-rpg games.

For me too, mmo's are gay. Still if it's co-op there's probably a sp version.

If those are AAA action-rpg games, Diablo 3 must be worth at least 6 A's.

Fall 2011, also contains different edition details such as the "quiver" edition or what to call that.
(There wasn't all that much else offered seeing the price though, also as usual there's a number of bonus extras for different retailers.)

10 days to chew it through until Skyrim hits Earth. Should be good time filler.
