This looks like it could be a shit-ton of fun. Kind of like Clue deathmatch.

I'm not sure that cartoony graphics and ferocious HDR go together too well, but I'd be willing to try a demo before making up my mind.

Also I notice P&O (they do cruise ships) are running a rather nasty campaign about the accidents in the channel tunnel - something about "escape tunnels". Because ships never sink or capsize do they? Well unless maybe you leave the fucking doors open.

Ooh, that's different. I wonder what happens if your target logs off though. Hopefully you get a new one. Sounds almost like Spy Vs Spy

it has a certain stylish appeal, the art-deco stuff seems to have been well done.
hopefully a demo will be available that gives a realistic idea as to what it's like.

Looks interesting. I want a demo first though.

there is actually a HL1 mod, so if anyone wanted to check out how the game 'plays' as opposed to 'looks' then why not give it a whirl. i wont for now, because i have to give my internets back to bt at the end of this week

This thread is worthless without LINKS (to the hl1 version)

I remember playing that sometime ago now you mention it, needless to say I didn't have a clue(do) what was going on.

This

I thought it sounded intriguing but got confused very easily when I tried it. Only the once mind.

Sounds.... interesting. The fact I've never heard of the HL1 version doesn't speak well for it, though. Also the cartoony graphics are a bit... tension lessening?

the HL1 mod was fairly simple when you found out what was going on, and i was hooked for weeks. fun game

I *could* be tempted, a friend of mine was ranting and raving about how he's looking forward to it. Having played the HL1 version, we'll see. without wanting to bother with own research, how much monehs is it gonna set me back?

This is out sometime this month on Steam as a multiplayer game, and it's getting a release in the shops some time in September, complete with a singleplayer game.

also, the singleplayer will be available on steam for a small cost (i suspect $10)

Post by **Dr. kitteny berk** » July 18th, 2006, 14:09

Post by **FatherJack** » July 18th, 2006, 15:20

I thought about maybe buying it once I'd finished with Prey.
