-Collection:

-I love Nintendo shit & portable systems in general (they're easy to store and fun to play / look @, Regular consoles are cool too, but take up too much space, collect dust (like my PS3, ohhhhh) & everyone seems to have 'em.

-Sealed classic games. Something about 'em just screams "cool" to me. I love my original NES game collection & Atari games, always looking for more.

-Swag, the usual, not really into Anime, but I love gaming related "trinkets"!!

So I was at my local Gamestop today when I saw a copy of LA Noire behind the counter. The clerk told me that it was for the store manager. He let me see it and it looks really cool, as far as cover art is. It's basically what we've seen, except it's done in a metallic finish, making it look really sweet.

When I got home, I decided to look up a review since LA Noire has probably been out a few days already and anxious websites who want publicity might "accidentally" publish one. I found one and here it is: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/gamesblog/2011/may/13/la-noire-game-review.

If you want to read it, you might want to do so soon, before it gets taken down. Let me know what you guys think.

Looks like they took it down already. Sorry guys!
This all looks like you're talking to yourself.
It wasn't up long enough for Google to cache it either.

That's a shame. I was kind of interested in seeing a review too.
What are they doing having pre-street-date merchandise up on the front counter?!

And I would assume that it meant the manager intended to play it pre-street-date as well?

Thats a firing offense.
Not too mention just incredibly sloppy.

/annoyed rant.
*to.

Also, I've seen some reviews before they were taken down, nothing but perfect ratings so far.
