Out on Sold out software for 4.99

The game itself is ok, being a third person doom clone, but as a work of art it's astounding. Chris Vrenners (NIN) ambiant score is impressive too.

Well worth the cash. I'm looking fiorward to his take on "Oz" now.

I wasn't too impressed with the demo when I played it a few years ago, felt the game was just a typical platform yarn, which is a type of game I don't particularly enjoy much. However, the level design and overall look where amazing, especially the level where the room you're in just splits apart in a vortex like void.

For a fiver it may be worth checking out just to see what else lies to be discovered in the game.

I really enjoyed the demo myself, but never got the full version; I probably will now, however. £4.99 is very tempting if my stupid XP PC will actually let it run.

It's a very well made game: Built by American McGhee, a well known designer (With UT, Doom and Quake series' levels to his credit) with artwork by the master of freaky paintings, Mark Ryder.

Thats excatly what I thought, fun demo, amazing graphics, but the level design was a little predictable (what happened to the moive that was going to be based on the game?)... I did however, recently pick it up from a bargin bin - just gotta get around to playing it!

It can't have been canned! That game was pure genius!

BTW, Has anyone ever realised that the original stories which the games were based on were written by stoners?

I dont think the Wizard of Oz guy was into Cannabis, and Lewis Carroll drugs influence is a myth

Well, ok, not so much emphasis on cannabis, but they did both take a lot of drugs, and Carroll was an opium addict as well...
