there's this new gaming store in town, and apparently I was the first one to pre-order the game (they had a little trouble creating a file or whatever they use for reserved copies...so anyways, I'm getting it on the 9th, then going home and playing it with 1 or 2 of my friends, and most likely this 4th grader and a 2nd grader (mom's taking care of them for the day) but they're the little ones that I don't hate, so all is good and one can do pretty well with the swordsmen of past games, so I figure everyone will just be doing rotation on g-cube controllers...
