Wow, Bioware really has a winner here. If you want a really fun game to play over the weekend, MDK2 is just that. It's got lots of shooting, lots of nice puzzles, great humor and great cinematics. Probably some of the most single-player fun I've had in months from a game. Plus, I've been playing it for a good amount of the weekend now and haven't found so much as one bug or crash, a rarity for any game nowadays. Just putting this up for a boring ol' news weekend. update Steve: Agreed. I picked up the full game the other day after everyone going happy poopy over the demo. While on the topic, here is an interview with a couple of the guys.
