	madman25 posted 24/06/2009, 12:25 Did a 6 hour speed run to get the one gun achievement, now on level 8 on impossible difficulty and it is hysterical! It's all about the stasis! Great action game. Message \| Report
	madman25 posted 17/06/2009, 12:33 Fun game! Great action packed sci-fi shooter. Not remotely scary though as the monsters like to make a grand entrance by SCREAMING & SHOUTING so not much element of surprise. Fantastic sound design, great visuals and tight gameplay make this a must buy. Message \| Report
	Nightmare24 posted 13/06/2009, 04:12 Great game 9/10, but 10/10 for scary. Scared the crap out of me. Message \| Report

	CaptainDJ posted 29/04/2009, 08:48 I beat the game 4 times and loved every second of it! Even watching your body get chopped up every now and then still makes it fun. Also, when you play, make sure the room your playing in is dark and make the Brightness of the game on the lowest for more fun! :D Message \| Report
	numonex posted 19/04/2009, 03:15 This game gets really boring and repetitive. I started on Normal mode got stuck on the bloody cannon Part - annoying POS. Started again on Easy Mode I only just passed the Canon Part with 11% left - friggin annoying. I kept playing the game it gets relly same after a while, boring middle levels. I got stuck on Chapter 9 the fire Control room and I just could not be bothered playing it anymore. Returned it within 4 days. I would say it was much harder than most shooter games I have ever played. Not passing it on Easy mode kind of sucks. Message \| Report
	MorgZ posted 20/03/2009, 10:10 this game is scary and very good soo far (just completed level 6). Message \| Report
	BenGenio posted 09/03/2009, 04:47 @ Baddman, you are probably at level 4 right now, and its true, by then the game does not seem to be scary, but after level 5 it will get scarier and scarier. Play it at night with the sounds loud enough to be able to hear all the little noises. Enjoy the game, its one of the best ive played so far this gen. Message \| Report
	BrayanA posted 20/02/2009, 02:22 BTW, this is a game you really need to play on a big high-def TV with a good, bass-heavy sound system in a dark room late at night. Message \| Report
	BrayanA posted 20/02/2009, 01:26 @Baddman, what are you talking about? This is the best science fiction horror game I ever played and is scary as hell. It just gets better and better from level to level. Message \| Report

	SHMUPGurus posted 25/10/2008, 08:46 @ Strategyking92: You got that part right! I got some BioShock vibes playing that game because you learn more about the story while listening to transmissions and all that stuff.

	Buckethead posted 17/10/2008, 02:55 This game is amazing! I'm frickin lovin it! Imagine Aliens, Doom, and Resident Evil 4 all mixed together and you're almost there. The zero gravity and dismemberment is to die for. It's not really scary, it's more disturbing and creepy more than anything. I like the weapon upgrades too! GREAT GAME! Message \| Report
