There's obviously a lot of buzz about this one amongst the Xbox community (and beyond) right now, and it actually becomes playable as of today for certain buyers... so we thought we'd break down all the release dates, release times and a few other details you might want to know before Space Marine 2 goes live on Xbox in a few hours' time.
