Thomas and Alex, Thanks for the info on reviews on the Battlezone box. I haven't gotten the game yet....I'm still smarting from the slide of ATVI stock...:( Anyhow, going to stores like CompUSA, I see all of these people picking game boxes up, reading them a little, looking at the pictures on the box...I even do this. But the thing is, when I'm in the store, I can't remember what games were good or bad. I always remember reading about them, but I can never remember if the reviews were good or bad...unless the game is like Warcraft 2 or Diablo or Mechwarrior 2 or some great game like that. So I wind up erring on the side of caution and just put the game down. I think that I would be much more inclined to buy a game if I could see how the game was rated on the box by legitimate gaming mags. I think Activision marketing should look into this! Tom
