    It could be the beer speaking, but I thoroughly enjoyed your narration, lol

    I'm not sure. I've read in other forums that people with core 2 duos etc are doing just fine. I think the thing is just going to be to turn the graphics quality down and have at it. I would suggest checking out the demo, but unfortunately the demo wasn't really well optimized, so that's not going to be a good test :(

    Great gameplay review. You should make more. I like your commentary. Most peoples are high pitched 12 year old voices or some scary hermit voice. Yours is rather intellectual :D

    Great video, froogle. I'm usually out on most gameplay videos after 30 seconds.

    Thanks again guys. I'll be posting more videos soon, and actually starting a whole review site with some other journalists I know (but alas it won't ALL be M11x). I'll let you know when the next M11x vids go up.
