Black Ops is now available on Steam! We've been told that it was unlocked at midnight for launch-party purchasers of the retail copy, as well. Strangely, Australia has actually been given first access to the game, rather than a delay - with Steam users in the UK needing to wait another 9 hours, and those in the USA another 17. The first few reviews are in, too. Let's see what they've had to say...


Canada's Wild Gunmen magazine give it a strong 9.5/10, claiming that "Its campaign might not be the best, but it's solid enough that playing through it is fun and what the campaign lacks, the multiplayer and zombie modes more than make up for... This is easily the game of the year."

The well known Game Informer magazine has also chimed in, with a 9/10, saying "Treyarch has crafted the finest Call of Duty multiplayer game to date."

Our servers are already up, running on Internode hardware in Sydney. So look out for "Gamers Underground One" and "Gamers Underground Two" on your travels. We'll launch more as they become required, depending on the traffic. Hope to be shooting some face with all of you very soon!
