The Banner Saga officially releases later today.  I am currently pre-loading it onto my computer as I write.  To be honest, I had pushed this game from my memory since I kickstarted it back in 2012.  I was excited for it when I kickstarted it, but so many awesome games have come between that point and now that I have had little time to think about it....    Now that its release is finally here I find myself sitting here in eager anticipation and cannot wait until I get home from work and am able to play it.  I don't expect to put much time into it, but I do want to get a little bit of a taste of it before I put it back onto my backlog.  Here is hoping that the gameplay is as amazing as the art style...  I will try to come back tomorrow or later this week and  give some first impressions.
