| I want it in English. If Yongsan, where can I find it? I've been there a few times and saw no computer games at all. |

The underneath part of the triangle-ish place just before son-in plaza is the closest.
It's immediately on your right after you come across the tunnel. |

Yeah, if you're coming in a taxi from Itaewon, it's the building on the left. On the far left is the big building with the elevated tube walkway, and on the right is a line of little shops selling lighting and whatnot.
The upper levels of the building you want have cellphones, MP3 players, and some console games, but in the basement you'll find what I believe is the biggest area selling PC Games.
They're not cheap.
No idea if they'll have that title.
I'd print the cover art for the packaging to show to people down there. Or try to find out what the Korean name is. |

| I just downloaded it and am installing it as I type. My friend had it for his Xbox 360 and loved it. |

I just installed Mass Effect today. Bit disappointing. Graphics aren't up to much. I read that it was written to be played by any computer made in the past 2 years.
I'll give it a few more hours but, so far........mediocre. |

| It's supposed to be story driven. Probably need to wait for the story to pick up. |

I downloaded the torrent and installed it. So far there is an error with the cracked .EXE, and you can't get past the part where you use the Galaxy Map or the first time. It's a known issue and I have to either pay for it or wait for a better crack. I'd rather pay for it.
Eamo: Where did you get it? And you obviously aren't playing it right if you don't like it  |

First two hours are slow.
Lot of talking.
Then you start to make choices and decisions which effect the outcome of the game. |

I noticed that inasfar as I got the thing to work. Revealing your vision to the council and to the captain of the ship is completely voluntary, and I realized that after I made the decision to allow others to know, that it affected the course of events as well as other NPC's reactions to me. Very cool stuff.
Oh yes, and if anyone is finished with it and would like to sell it, I'd be more than happy to wire you an agreed price for your CD-Key (and CD which you could mail to me). Only if the CD-Key is legit and works. Just PM me if you're interested. |

If you want an actual legal copy, which seems silly, you can download it, and a bunch of EA games, straight from the EA website.
It'll be in English, it'll be legal, and I think you can redownload if you get a new comp.
Same with Steam. If you want COD4, you can download a bunch of games off Steam.
The cost is the same as store I think, and it's legal if you're worried about it crashing in the last half hour.
I liked the game for Xbox, but on my second play through I got bored quickly. It's got some good things going on with it though. If they do make a sequel, I'd play it. |

I don't have a credit card though.
However, they did release a crack this morning that apparently works. A demonoid/reloaded fix. The one I had before caused the game to crash at the Galaxy Map (as did it for everyone), and the new crack supposedly lets you play through the whole thing without problems.
Hah! I would like to purchase the game eventually, but as long as I'm in Korea I probably can't do this. It's funny how they went through so much trouble to put all those network authencity scripts in MassEffect.exe that were easily removed in a couple of weeks by hackers. Rejoice. |

Yeah, the speed they knocked it down makes me really hopeful that Spore will be unlocked a week after it's dropped.
I'm glad to find somebody else who uses deomonoid. Is it just me or has that site lost a crap-ton of momentum after it was shut down for 4 months? It still has stuff, but I have sorta moved over to Piratebay after it was gone, and I can't really be bothered to come back. |

Actually it was a demonoid .exe courtesy of www.mininova.org (which I use). I didn't discover glorious demonoid until after it was near impossible to get an account or perform searches / download without an account.
Mininova seems to be the best for me, and Pirate Bay too, but there is always the problem of people putting fakes and Trojans on it. I guess that's what the comments section is for, though. |
