This thread has been linked to the game 'Painkiller'.
After being recommended it by a mate, I downloaded the demo for the game Painkiller, Weighing in at about 214MB (i think).
The game is a bit like Serious Sam, or Will Rock, but with a twisted, satanic theme to it. It's a bit mild for what it wanted to be, but i guess they wanted to appeal the younger, less mind-numbed of all of us, and not scare the living crap out of them. I prefer the latter myself...
Anyway, from what i've seen, the game is impressive as far as technology goes, but it lacks any real fun or excitement. The physics are great - pin zombies to walls with a huge wooden stake launcher or anything similar, and the graphics are nice and spooky, and relatively fast.
Of course, I have to add that i didn't like the game enough to consider buying it.
If you've played the demo, care to add to this thread?

was really bored by the demo...uninstalled it mid 2nd level. *yawns*
I'll download it later/tommorow. Looks alright though.
Just waiting for the download now. Screenshots look pretty good.
