Yes, it did indeed come out today. I haven't been able to play it very much yet, but what I've seen so far as quite impressive.
First off, HL2 looks great [I'm talking about the original game, not the episodes]. The lighting is bumped up from the PC release, there's a lot more bump-mapping, and the reflections in the water seem to be a lot more realistic as well. Other than that, pure HL2 action all the wall.
Then there's Portal. Ah, yes, Portal. It's crazy fun. CRAZY. FUN. Just the shere amount of crazily awesome things you can do with the portal gun make this one of the coolest games in years. It might even be worth $60 on its own, but, of course, you don't have to buy it for $60 on its own.
And not that cheapo support from the last patch, but rather full support throughout the OS. Certainly this will make a lot of things easier. Bit by bit Nintendo is actually adding important features to the Wii.
Next up let's make it a big one. Go for USB hard disk support!
I has it now. Graphics are fairly nice, but I will add that if you had issues with how Link looked before, it hasn't improved... I've gotten used to Link himself now though, and the rest of the world still looks great.
Story, as you may well know, is a direct continuation from the ending of Wind Waker.
I can't say much more, not very far, but the game is controlled almost exclusively by the stylus. That includes movement. I'm still witholding judgement but yes this does basically mean a Zelda game of all things is using PC RPG style mouse controls to move your character around. I'm still playing to see if it works as well but I have a feeling OB1 will hate it.
As it stands, I have high hopes for this adventure.
I think I know what happened, but I'll need to check some things. So anyway, yeah I didn't completely lose my mind, nor did I just decide to randomly quote my old posts to "construct" new opinion pieces.
(Also apparently someone can't leave for a few weeks without the hounds being called in...)

Edit:
We should get Lazy to make up some messed up story to go with this picture ala "The Onion".
About how some magic moon dust in Sonics coffee took Tales on a wild ride. :)
Kids, don't leave home for 2 years. You never know what things will be like when you get back.
Hi all. I'm here because I should be reading for school and I want to stall instead. I guess that's why I haven't been to TC in 3 years (slight exageration), cause I've been out of school that long! If you wanna stay in touch, please look me up on facebook (yes I just said that). Derek and I are friends! And I'm in Pasadena now *gasp*. Does Lord Shockwave show up anymore?
