I'll admit that I have a subconscious habit of being consistently on the fringes of hype. I have never played WOW. Bioshock is sitting on my shelf still holding passionately to its plastic-wrap virginity. I played Portal only after it was given to me. I played BF2 religiously but I didn't start until after BF2142 was released. (I still like BF2 waaaaay better than 2142 BTW) and I never played BF1942. I could go on but you get the picture.
Recently, amid the frenzied chaos that was the launch of Age of Conan, some friends decided that we should pick up the new release from EA: "Hellgate London". Taking my aforementioned tendencies into account you would be accurate to assume that I accepted with only mild trepidation....
