Freelancer Price Drops Beginning

Although most places in the US still seem to carry Freelancer for $49.99, DemolitionMan in #Wingnut reports that Circuit City has the game for sale at $29.99 now. A lot of us here at the CIC had quite a bit of fun with this Chris Roberts inspired game. It does draw quite a bit from Privateer, and I'm really happy with how they solved the autopilot situation over interplanetary distances in a semimassively multiplayer space sim. People have been sending me reviews for it that discuss Wing Commander to one extent or another, so here are links to several. If you know of others, feel free to email them in.
