Post by vicaphit »

No, but I saw some gameplay footage... I hope I was seeing the 360 version because the areas were so dark, but everything seemed to be lit in kind of a cartoony way... Im not sure about it yet

It looks a really good game from what I've seen. Am definitely going to check out the demo (PC).

I played the demo (xbox 360) as well....Not really my kind of game, but it did seem pretty decent. Its hard to tell from just a demo.

It is actually really fun. There are some enemies called houdini splicers later in the game that vaporize and then reapear right behind you, so it gets pretty creepy later on
