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?

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.

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?

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.

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.
