    <a href="http://www.night-watch-game.com/">Night Watch</a> for North America has gone <b>GOLD</b> per <a href="http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=17818">press release</a> on <a href="http://www.gamesindustry.biz/">GameIndustry.biz</a>:
    <br>
    <blockquote>CDV Software Entertainment USA announced today that the North American version of Night Watch has gone gold. Night Watch, <u>set to ship on June 26</u>, will have players fighting the forces of evil in a modern day Moscow that's populated by enchanters, shapeshifters and other mystical creatures. More information about Night Watch is available at <a href="http://www.night-watch-game.com/">http://www.night-watch-game.com/</a>, while media assets can be found at <a href="http://www.gamespress.com/cdv">http://www.gamespress.com/cdv</a>.
    <br>
    <br>
    In the Night Watch universe, there are people among us who appear ordinary, but who are different; they call themselves "Others." These Others can channel magical power as devastating attacks and defenses. Those who support the forces of light are known as the Night Watch, while those that fight on the side of darkness are the Day Watch. These two sides have been locked in an epic battle with the common hope of one ultimately claiming a decisive victory and a right to rule the world.
    <br>
    <br>
    Developed by Nival Interactive, the studio that created the critically acclaimed Blitzkrieg and Silent Storm series, Night Watch will ask players to take on the role of a recently initiated Other as he strives to comprehend the mystical powers he has recently discovered, and to make sense of the role he plays in this epic struggle that could very well determine the future of mankind.</blockquote>

    Hooray! Something that isn't a twitch CRPG!

    I also read a review in a Polish mag a few months ago claiming the game was worthless. Pity.

    I haven't heard anything complimentary about this game either sadly :(. Watched the movie recently, and didn't like it much.

    You guys are too negative. Night Watch is 'tasty'.

    The demo was mediocre, but I'll probably end up giving the full version a try just because I'm a slut like that.

    What's worse still is that the Silent Storm team developed it and apparently they are doing a sequel, too (Day Watch) :(

    Shut your mouth, hippie. Hammer & Sickle was awesome, and you're demeaning it's classy stature by comparing it to this lowly streetwalker of a game.

    There was also a review in German on yiya.de, stating that it is an okay game with some shortcomings. All in all an enjoyable Strategy/RPG mix.

    SUPER LONG GOOGLE LINKY

    The demo was terminally ill. It had a crash bug after the subway.
