After a ridiculous number of years in development, Obsidian's South Park: The Stick of Truth has finally been released. In North America, at least - with Ubisoft, these things are never quite clear. Here's the launch trailer:


The game is available on Steam for the price of $60. There is no Uplay, nor is there any Day 1 DLC or anything of that sort, which is kind of surprising. The emerging consensus seems to be that it's a fun little JRPG that should please fans of the TV series; whether or not it's worth that price is up to the individual buyer. Expect to see our official review sometime in the near future.

Update: GameBanshee has a roundup of the game's first day reviews, which are all fairly positive.
