If they successfully recreated the corner store down on 75th and Halsted, then I'll buy 10 copies.

I Am Alive rating reminds us that the game is coming
Surely I'm not the only one who forgot I Am Alive was still in existence? We've heard nothing about it from Ubisoft in recent months, which wouldn't be such a big deal had E3 not just taken place. A listing on the Australian Classification Board's website indicates this isn't vaporware. The multiplatform rating notes "strong violence" with its MA 15+ classification. The game is about a post-earthquake Chicago, after all. We can't have mere children running around the city in those conditions. While the premise is still somewhat intriguing, I can't recall the last time a game was rarely shown throughout its development only to miraculously amaze us all in the end.

If they successfully recreated the corner store down on 75th and Halsted, then I'll buy 10 copies. "The game is about a post-earthquake Chicago, after all. We can't have mere children running around the city in those conditions." We have kids running around post apocalyptic Washington DC, so why not? I do wonder whether they're experimenting with the marketing for this game. It can't be too far off if they're getting ratings done but they've shown nothing other than that old announcement trailer. Even if they game was terrible you'd imagine they'd have got some form of advertising out for it. As much as I want this to be a sign of it's imminent release, I wouldn't count an ESRB rating amongst the silence to indicate a release "I can't recall the last time a game was rarely shown throughout its development only to miraculously amaze us all in the end"
