What's the retail price gonna be for this expansion? ebgames and gamestop are taking pre-orders at $19.99, but amazon is listing it for $29.99.

I hate to pre-order games, but if I can save ten bucks I just might have to in this case.

Judging from the demo of SWAT 4, Irrational did a really great job of adding a new chapter into the series.

However, I still just couldn't shake the feeling that they lost something special that SWAT 3 had. The player models felt a little more cartoony, and I couldn't shake the feeling that the AI was not as good. I could play the same mission in SWAT 3 again and again and always be surprised by the outcome. SWAT 4, on the other hand, didn't seem to have that same quality. The enemies were just a little too predictable.

Nit-picky? Yes. I'm probably going to pick this bad boy up, though, when they release the Gold pack that has the original and the expansion in one bundle. Well, pending the reviews are good :)

Heh, that History Channel ad on the wall there (The poster) has been making the rounds in games lately it seems. I saw it recently in Anarchy-Online.
