Daikatana Rumor Du Jour -- 10:46 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

I haven't posted any sweet Daikatana gossip in oh, what, days now. This one's particularly juicy. The rumors are floating about that no gaming magazine or website are getting review copies of Daikatana. Not PC Gamer, not anybody. Here's Evil Avatar's take on the whole situation:

I have a buddy who works for a print magazine who shared with me the same rumor, that Eidos was holding back sending out Gold CD's to any of the online & print magazines in hopes that the full version of the game will be on store shelves before anyone has a chance to give it a poor review. Since this is now the 2nd time I've seen the same rumor, I thought it was worth sharing. You draw your own conclusions . . . isn't it a little odd that not even pc.ign.com has a copy of the full version of Daikatana?

You can read the rest of this at Evil Avatar's site This wouldn't surprise me in the least, given how everyone (including yours truly) ripped the demo. It's pretty sad if it's true. I would hope that everyone who is thinking about buying this game would download the demo before they drop their cold, hard cash on it.

I know that J is laughing about this because I talked about buying Daikatana on general principle if I could get it for $29. That was before the demo came out. That's how convinced I was that it would be at least a good game. Caveat emptor.
