This is a downloadable game? If so... impressive.

This looks really good, at least from the trailers.

I think it'd have been interesting to see what they could have done with this game if it had swapped budgets with Assassin's Creed: Revelations.

I'm indifferent. I don't fully understand the context in which the story takes place.

I can't un-hear this without Michael Weston's voice now. And that goofy music and panel swaps.

Yep, looks like Metro 2033. Written by someone who watches too much Burn Notice. Perhaps. Some Egyptians believe.

You assume that there is an amount of Burn Notice that's too much which is of course impossible.

@Sooty: Must not have played any games in the 90's if you think so.

Actually I have, older Quake games and Half-Life look less awkward than this. Seeing that much of the forearms makes it look extremely weird. It's not as bad with the bow.

You get just about the same forearm in any Call of Duty game when you're ADSing.

Same, I like the idea of what they're trying to achieve (this whole post-apocalyptic "the road" survival kind of vibe) than the actual game I'm watching.

Hope they can pull it off.

It's nice to see an apocalypse game that is based around actually surviving the apocalypse and not just killing everything in it.

no "THIS IS SPARTA! *KICK*" quote being kept on the front page.. I am dissapoint...

On a more intelligent note, an interesting sounding game, but.. just.. ugly.. Not so much the colors but the models/people.. Kinda reminds me of the zombies form Red Nation.

Looks rough for sure, but conceptually very intriguing

There's something missing to the whole thing. Can't quite place my fingers on it. But the mechanics they implemented looks interesting enough.

Intriguing... looks a little janky in a Fallout 3-ish sort of way, though. Too early to tell.

I've been looking forward to this game for years now. It also looks pretty good (graphically) for being an XBLA game.

@Meatsim:

Then you don't have to worry, if a stranger has candy then clearly he is a good stranger.
