Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
the principle is awesome, yet reviews seem to point out big interface flaws. I'll probably "acquire" the game before buying it. (unless there's a demo)
The Metacritic score is a respectable 79. The scores vary wildly though (100 to 40) and all reviews thus far are for the Xbox 360 version.
Giant Bomb seemed to like the game pretty well and the big complaint was with the controls, which may or may not be alleviated in the PC implementation. At $14.99 it may be one to watch if you like that sort of game.

That's a similar issue brought up in Tom Chick's summary on Quarter to Three. I've been keeping my eye on this one, the TF2 pre-order item might push me over, once the DRM situation is clarified. Dunno yet though.
Played the demo on XBLA when it came out, was fun enough.
Thanks for reminding me its out on PC now, I think the mouse support will be worth it.

Gameplay is not bad, but it's pretty repetitive. Get the stones, make a town, grow vegitation, and move onto the next level.
I heard that it's basically a large tech demo - kinda vindicates what I thought it would be actually.
The reviews/impressions I read about the 360 version said it would be improved with mouse controls. How the fuck do you screw that up?
And that's not even taking the DRM bait n' switch nor the other technical issues that were reported on RPS this morning.
Utter utter facepalm worthy.
I have no idea. It has some kind of weird acceleration, so when you move the breath it moves slow first then faster and faster then it ramps down so it takes forever to move it where you want it to be.
I don't know about the other technical issues, but the DRM thing is pretty much not an issue at all. Everything I read before the game cam out lead me to believe that this game would be just like AC: Brotherhood: Uplay when you launch the game but no constant connection required. And that is just what it has.
Huh, because I thought they said it would require an activation connection on first launch and that'd be it.
Yes, obviously they meant "the first time you launch it for every gaming session" and not "the first time you launch it ever"

Their words from their own forum originally:
Maybe something got lost in translation? I dunno. Still smells like bait n' switch on some level.
I'm more disappointed in the fact that the game is locked at 30 FPS and people are reporting control issues after the game was delayed for almost a month. I have a fairly rock solid network connection so getting to play it isn't an issue.
I just wish I had enough faith in major publishers to do the right thing and fix their games when they're released in a bad state. At least with indies you have some guarantee stuff gets fixed because... well, no sale = no food.
