Widescreen Gaming Forum

Yeah...I got really lucky and found it in an EB a few weeks ago for $10.

I tried to do some research about this game on the Nival forums and elsewhere and the only thing I found was a tantalizing clue that somewhere some Nival people had discussed doing something about the resolution on widescreen laptops. But I wasn't able to find the actual posts that were being ...
