The Might and Magic portal announces a holiday sale for Dark Messiah. At $35 for a digital download, the price is now on par with what you'll find at other stores. But if you want a disc and a (skimpy) manual (and save some bandwith), the $39 deal with free shipping at Amazon is probably a better option.

Also on Amazon is the Silver Edition of Heroes of Might and Magic V, which appears to be out already. Like the huge Complete edition of the game earlier, this is another UK exclusive. I wouldn't be surprised if a similar package came out in North America as well in the future. Also, the Silver reference screams for a future Gold edition, doesn't it?

I'll get my copy of the Dark Messiah Prima Official Game Guide (UK version) in a week or two, courtesy of The Disciples of Sareth, and I'll post my impressions here. The singleplayer portion of the game hardly requires any walkthrough, as the GameSpot game guide already does a good job with the game's trickiest levels, but I'm curious to read the section about multiplayer.
