Did I preorder it? Yup, and I'll be going to the midnight launch. Never been to a midnight launch for anything before 'cos I usually think "for God's sake, can't it wait until 9am when the shop opens normally?" - so it goes. So, yes, I'm still hyped, it's the only game I've really looked forward to all year.
To pass the time before release, I'm sleeping a lot and playing World of Warcraft for hours at a time, but that's pretty much what I do every day so it can't really be regarded as out of the ordinary.
As for other games that have caught my eye? Erm, apparently there's a new Assassin's Creed out, which surprised me 'cos I'm a big fan of the series (indeed, AC2 and Brotherhood both got my 'game of the year' title for whichever years they were released) but it's sort of crept out while I wasn't paying attention. But, aside from WoW, I've hardly been gaming at all this year so it's perhaps not a big surprise.
