cue talk about preorders being never worth it, overhype, yadda-yadda
I'm inclined to agree though, which is why I never preorder most of the time

just for discussion though, if you've ever preordered a game, out of all your preorders which one was the best and why? would make for an interesting topic to sieve out the diamonds from the grime

(and I already have an idea of what one of those diamonds might be ;) )

curses at his fingers accidentally hitting close button on the first thread


edit: wow! the amount of love for BoI: Rebirth (which, incidentally, is the game which i was thinking of) is quite overwhelming! :D
few other good picks here and there as well, i'll look into picking some of those up if i ain't got 'em

I've pre-ordered three games total, and I'm glad I did:

Modern Warfare 3 (great multiplayer, and received a COD4 copy for pre-ordering)

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (great multiplayer - it died after a few months, but it was quite fun)

& Orcs Must Die! (finished it twice, and it was a blast - I love tower defense games in general, but this one really hit home).

Although I have only pre-ordered BoI:RE I will say that it was a terrible experience, the game was wouldn't launch on day one and I am still having massive graphical errors like the rooms not loading floor and wall textures (and if anyone has a fix for that it would be nice, I have ss's on my account)
However this was a game I would have bought the day it came out anyway! I just pre-ordered because the loyalty discount and the TF2 hat

Alien:Isolation is a very fun and scary game. I got a great deal on gamersgate. I got burned on colonial marines but this one is great.

Max Payne 3 was freaking good and MP was fun. Plus got bunch of goodies for pre-ordering LA Noire, Max Payne 1 & 2 and some DLC's.
