Looks pretty damn good. Thinking about picking it up for 360.

It got an 8.5 from gamespot.

I was wondering why there wasn't a thread for this.

I got it on the first day, and oh my god, it's amazing.

Far creepier than I thought it would be too, to be honest.

Who would have thought that mixing mobsters with demons would work so well? (javascript:open_image_viewer('927014','1','6173249','2007/177/reviews/927014_20070627_embed001.jpg','Who%2Bwould%2Bhave%2Bthought%2Bthat%2Bmixing%2Bmobsters%2Bwith%2Bdemo ns%2Bwould%2Bwork%2Bso%2Bwell%253F','');)

Jim Butcher of the Dresden Files? The author of the original Crow graphic novels? A dozen other sources?

Anyway, I dug the ads, but I'm not going to play a FPS.

Picked this up yesterday, played up to 'Dutch Oven' Harry before my friend annoyed this piss outta me, so I just stopped.

The 'Magic Trick' line is probably one of the best I've ever heard. <3.

Totally need to get a game of team CTF sometime.

Don't be FPS biased. Give it a chance before you judge. :foc:

Nah.

Put it this way: You don't like Sudoku (for the sake of argument). Now, is it going to matter how they tweak it, if you don't like the core concept of Sudoku?

Yeah, really hoping they can fix that...

Just got to chapter 2. The way chapter one ended was fucked up.

The demo is up on XBL Marketplace if you want to check it out. Big download tho, 1.3 GB!

Just started again after a lengthy hiatus. St. Mary's just blew up.

Picked up the comics over the weekend. Wicked read, by the way.

Downloaded the demo this afternoon. Pretty fun. Controls are a bit of a pain. I'm glad Kirk Acevedo got something do.

Beat it last night. It's pretty short but fun. The ending sucks though. It suggests a sequel on it's way.

Played the demo yesterday morning...

Pretty awesome...My friend purchased it and told me that he beat it in like 2 days. I think I will probably rent it next weekend with one of my free rentals. That is unless I find something else to rent...

The ending is a big WTF to me, but it worked well, I think.

And isn't it insane that Mike Patton did the voice of the Darkness BY HIMSELF, with no studio assistance? The raspy whispering voice of the Darkness is COMPLETELY natural.

Really? Damn I thought is was amplified or something that's freaky.

What part, Fryza?


That part gave me a horrible ass time the first time I went through there til I figured it out. What's giving you trouble?
Fryza

Right as you're coming up from the trenches. I either get killed too fast, or I don't know where to go.

I've resorted to Creeping Death most of the douchebags, since eating their hearts keep them down, but I can't seem to get past that part at all.

Mike Patton has perhaps the most insane vocal range of anybody. Nothing surprises me when it comes to him.

I mean, shit, he put out a Solo album that featured him chewing on a carrot.
