Looks like I got a bit carried away with my birthday and EMI to post any news. Okay, here goes:
The release date rumor seems to have originated form PCGamer UK, and nobody else seems to agree, so I'm still assuming the 17th is the time to celebrate. This month's PCGamer UK, by the way, has a copy of the EMI demo on, and reviews the game inside. They rated it 93% --a great score.
"This is the title to remind everyone just how good adventure gaming can be."
"Huge, hilarious, and original"
"This is the funniest game you'll ever play."
"Adventure Gaming at it's peak"
"This is why the adventure genre was invented"
Another EMI review is up at Gamecenter who give the game a perfect score of 10/10. The review is 3 pages of praise, with a history of the game included.
Finally; there is a nice long review on the Clearly Unofficial EMI site with no spoilers guaranteed. Check 'em all out, folks.
