    2 hours and 49 minutes ASSASSIN

    2 hours and 49 minutes on ASSASSIN difficulty.....  [I just  recently quit LEFT 4 DEAD and usually got 50-70 headshots on every level on EXPERT, ONLINE!!]  My aim is pretty sweet :D!!  Ya, that's how long this game lasted and it was worth 40 bucks.  Meaning that I was paying exactly 24 cents a minute, or $2.40 for every 10 minutes of gameplay.  I feel as if half the game emulates Stranglehold and the other half leans on Gears of War.  Now that sounds pretty damn cool, but unfortunately it's all lost in a mish-mash of hastily stitched set pieces and half-done cover mechanics.  Now I'm not going to add anymore then what JEFF (CEO GB) said, but I'm going to point out the HIGHS and LOWS of this game.

    HIGHS 
    - Game is highly optimized and runs 60 FPS MAX at ALL times (unless it's loading some textures). 
    - Most enemies are pwned by you with easy to learn curve bullet mechanics.
    - Feels like your watching a somewhat decent action movie.
    - Sliding between covers is done pretty well.

    LOWS
    - I absolutely hate, HATE the protagonist.  He tries to emulate BRUCE CAMPBELL with his corny and totally embarrassing 1 liners for nearly every cutscene he is chasing someone.
    - Half the cutscenes are PRE-RECORDED, which if you have an OLD PC, it looks OK, for me it is TERRIBLE.
    - 2 hours and 49 minutes (ENTIRE GAME BEATEN ON ASSASSIN).
    - Sometimes, the camera + you yourself will BLOCK your AIM, this happens mostly halfway in the game.
