If you're anything like me, when you heard about the idea of a game that basically combines the movie Event Horizon with pretty much any post-apocalyptic zombie flick, you got a hard on that would make ole smilin' Bob from the Enzyte commercials hang his head in shame. Just the idea of dismembering deformed freaks with buzzsaws and then finishing their mangled corpses with god's flame thrower sounds nothing short of fucking awesome.
Admittedly however, I knew there would be no middle ground. This would be a love/hate game. One of those titles that either earned the devs a big ole faggy high five from yours truly, or a sound pimp slapping for fucking up such a great idea. I'm not in a forgiving mood either, in light of 2008 being the year of unkept promises, unfinished products and bastardized franchises. At least thus far. So, you know the drill, lets break this shit down shall we?
Graphics:
Sick. Fucking sick. Lighting in a game like this is key to establishing the mood. It is done extremely well. Creepy shadows dart in front of you. Lights flicker and spark. Darkness engulfs you. It's fucking creepy, like playing an entire game in Buffalo Bill's basement. The character models are all expertly rendered and the environments have striking detail.
