Is that the damn thing is too good. We've been spoilt.

Half the time, I'm looking at the screen in slack jawed wonderment.............

Lol.... that was me again.

And I still stick by my points. The guns were fun, but seemed generic ie, machine gun, shotgun, close combat.

And the game has 14 chapters. It must have taken me less than that in hours to finish.

And the physics got boring sometimes. If we'd had the ultra grav gun earlier it would have been better, but we didn't, and a large section fo that game just felt so 'seen it before'.
