Re: Epic Letdowns in Gaming

Hellgate: London. I thought to myself, "can't go wrong with a company that consists of like 70% of ex-blizzard north employees". I even bought the Collectors edition of it and pre-ordered it to get in on the beta which I now realize why they made me pay before playing the beta. I'd complai...
