FYI I ask this here cause I'm enjoying the free weekend, but those lamos don't open the Official forum up to nonsubscribers (even during a free weekend).

I have 7 ap, but Predator shows it's locked and when I click on it I get no buy option or explanation as to why I can't buy.  Go for the Throat says I can't buy because a need a fist weapon, but I have a fist weapon equipped along with a Blood Magic weapon.  Are there some other requirements like level (though there aren't levels..) or some other skills I need to get first?  How does one find out such info?

Here's a screen shot showing my issue (predator and go for throat locked out, yet have enough points and fist weapon equipped - can tell by fist weapon skills available), what am I missing?

I'm about to order it, no incentive for pre-order this time. I love this new trend of XBLA games coming to PC quickly versus months later, if at all. Hearing on Xbox release it would be coming PC I decided to hold out, though it was difficult for me as I tend to love these sorts of games. Once I saw it on steam and knew my wait would be a short one I was ecstatic. I hope developers, if not Microsoft, continue to see the benefit of releasing on multiple platforms at once especially since porting XBLA games to PC shouldn't be much of a stretch.

Thank you for sharing your benchmark results. I played the demo with my 8800gt and when I enabled Physx it was unplayable. First game I've felt I needed a new card for, course disabling Physx as mentioned game was smooth, but the Physx (in my opinion) really adds to the environment and since it had been a long time since I upgraded my video card I felt it was worth it (and still do). I went out and got a GTX 260 and like you set my 8800 GT for Physx my benchmark results (on Win7 RC 64 bit fyi):

Min: 13 (UGH)

Avg: 45

That's with Physx Maxed out and everything turned on (very high - highest setting) but no Anti Aliasing (I don't see any jaggies so haven't bothered turning it on). The game is very playable.

Great game by the way. I am not usually into fighting type games, but this game with all it's options and very easy fighting (if playing smart - even with keyboard/mouse) is great and a lot of fun. Took me like 10 times to take out Bane boss on normal difficulty (I'm only like 16% of the way through currently - game tells you %) as I'm not too talented in action parts of games, still very enjoyable and hard to put down. If not for work I'd definitely play this game all night.
