I went to pick up the Hellgate: London collector edition over the weekend. The amount of hype building up around the game prior to its release was really immense; there was a TV commercial, a front-page feature in Today and a massive launch party at Funan. I wasn't even considering the game at first but, with so much hype and publicity, it was hard for me to resist giving it a shot.
Having spent some time with the game, I felt that it was pretty average in every way. It was a typical action-RPG in a sci-fi setting. There wasn't anything ground-breaking or innovative about it.
That doesn't mean it's bad, though. It's still an enjoyable and addictive game, though some people are going to be disappointed that it does not live up to the hype. I'll probably blog about it proper after exploring the game a little more.
