It's going to be a good game (going by the PC demo on PCZone June) hopefuly.
I like the fact that you have limited ammo and the way that you can use the scenery in the derelict building; ie steel or concrete pipes are ripped off walls. Wooden battons/fire axes etc as well as punch,block and kick to take out the mad ass baddies that you meet in the demo!

Definately worth keeping an eye on.

I'm particularly impressed with how smoothly the game runs, my computer is rather outdated by today's gaming standards. The only upgrade its seen in the past two years is a GeForce 6800GS which I picked up to play Oblivion.

The performance auto-detect set most things on high or maximum and I've yet to see any framerate drop.

I'm impressed with the game also. The graphics are better than FEAR in my opinion. Works my x800xtpe to the bone in some areas but I can turn everything to the max with 4xAA and 8xAF and still have playable framerates. The grain effect is awesome at removing pixelization when you're right up on the wall.

The new gameplay style is different to... I've been creeped out a bunch by people coming at me with clubs and shit and all i have is an empty pistol. Timing is everything thats for sure.

Ending was a little anti-climactic. They never answer some of the core questions I had.
