I've had my eye on this one for a while. It looks like a blast, but I wanted to hear feedback from someone who actually has played it before picking it up. I'll have to check out some reviews too.

Load up with Trap Bolts and Steel-tipped bolts. it helps if you have Incinerate 3. Run up the central walkway where you find sander cohen's apartment, setting up trap bolts, 1 per wall the whole way up.

Wait until there is a big daddy (elite rosies on this level), then blast him with the incinerate, which pisses him off (btw, make sure you are on the top level for this).


He will run into the traps the whole way up, that will take him way the hell down or kill him, and if he is still alivem shoot him in the head with a steel tipped bolt or two. Big Daddies carry a lot of cash, and carry lots of spare parts to use in U-Invent,
GOD I love that game. I should play it through again. My favorite for the 360 so far.

As for me, I'm finishing up Prey for the Xbox 360 and it's an absolute BLAST.

AMAZING graphics, great UI, and a truly dark atmosphere. My only problem is that I wish it was a bit more of a challenge (it's slightly a bit too linear for me; wish it was more like Doom or Metroid with interactive maps), BUT that being said, I definitely recommend Prey. Fantastic FPS with mind-blowing graphics.

Well I have been playing "Too Human" Silicon Knight's (of Legacy of Kain and Eternal Darkness fame) Sci-Fi take on Norse Mythology. For all the bad press it's gotten I've actually found it beautifully designed and extrememly rewarding to play. Killing hundreds of cyber Goblins and Trolls and Dark Elves and then casually walking away with barely a scratch... yeah I enjoy that.

COD2: Big Red One on ps2, another game I exchanged with my brother.

I remember playing #1 on pc and it seemed to have a much better fell to it than this one...I don't even know if it's anything more than some kind of spin-off of the series. #3 when I played it for a short time seemed to be back on track.

Anyone else played this? Similar take?

Too Human is on the 360, I would be hestitant to recomend it though. Thogu I love it, it's got some pretty serious problems. It's pretty punishing and unofrtunately its not always easy to make the protagnist Baldur DO exactly what you want him too. If I could be mind linked to him through some nifty sci-fi contraption that'd work. The storytelling is also very rough, rigid and rushed and while there is definetly evidence of some real skill in how they have applied the Norse mythology to their retelling it's not always protrayed very effectively.

I can genuinely say it's not for everyone, I get a kick out of it but I can see how many people hate it's shiny little guts.

Just finished Bioshock, and I am entertaining thoughts of slogging through FEAR to get screenshots for my website.

I can get video too, so I may grab some of that for some of the more intense moments, to share :)

Playing through Silent Hill:Homecoming right now and it's very good.The huge fans of the series might be let down but so far I've enjoyed it very much.

Chrono this would be right up your alley for survival horror.
