Maybe Kurt thought that the comment was directed at him and not the topic of the article. It does seem to fit.

It's not uncommon for game developers to provide an advanced copy for review sites and publications.

It truly deserves the 9. The dislikes are all true, but I don't think they detract from how fun the game is.

There are several versions of this product sold out there. The main difference for most of them is the mounting hardware. Make sure you purchase the version that is appropriate for your motherboard.

The right one for the 1366 processor would be this one:

I forgot to mention that in combination with a thermal paste upgrade (went from arctic silver 2 to arctic cooling mx 2) the Ultra 120 dropped temperatures by 40 degrees celcius. Really can't beat that without switching to water cooling.

I installed one of these and while the install was a chore because I had to remove the mobo to put in the bottom plate, it wasn't too bad. However, once I had the mobo back in and was trying to reconnect all of the cables I kept scraping my knuckles against it. I didn't think much of it, it didn't really hurt at first, but once I was done and I looked at it, the whole side was red. I then realized I had slowly scrapped off a layer of skin a little at a time. I cleaned it off some, but not wanting to go through the removal process again just to clean it, I didn't remove everything. This machine was definitely built with my blood and sweat! (No tears though)

I had snapfish do this to me as well. They deleted my account because I hadn't logged in for 6 months. All my pictures were gone and they had no way of recovering them. I stopped using them after that.

While I couldn't have put it quite so elgantly as PCMania, he has a valid point. If you're so unhappy with the first game, why would you buy the second game? The allmighty dollar speaks loudest.

I don't get all the complaining. This is a company that has given way more than they ever should have away for free to its loyal customers. They are still adding things to their older games. They have a kick ass game in L4D and they have recently provided DLC for it. Now you're complaining that the next version of the game, which sounds like it has a lot of great improvements and will probably also kick ass, isn't going to be free? Or is it just that it's too soon? Would you rather they wait a few years to release it so that you can feel like you got your money's worth out of the first game? I really don't understand the complaining. The old adage is true, give people an inch...

So when are we going to get an updated best of the best router? Itcannot still be the WRT600N. It has received many bad user reviews, and its successors have gotten worse reviews. And the WRT600N is hard to find now with some people selling them for nearly $500.
