Sounds interesting (and a Steam exclusive!)... have a look at the TRAILER.

Not jaw-dropping gorgeous as Crysis, but it looks... different. Also: Crushing skulls with your own hands = TWO THUMBS UP!

Awesome.

Assuming it's reasonably priced, I'll buy it right away.

that looks kinda fun actually. Good simple straight forward action is often the best thing an FPS can offer

Yay blood! For some reason though I was reminded of Mega Man. Mega Man gone horribly, horribly wrong.

That actually looks like a helluva lot of fun, might give it a whirl.

Agreed, I'm looking forward to it. I don't know why but I think the name of the game is pretty awesome as well... sounds like a band name or the title of a Mafia flick.

Looks like Serious Sam meets Riddick, in a sense.

My first thought was, "Is this a sequel to Last Bronx?"

Anyway, it looks fun. Doesn't look like it takes itself to seriously, and that's a bonus in my book.

That was awesome looking, love when he grabbed the guy's decapitated head out of mid air and turned it into a grenade.
