    Enjoy. It sounds really cool, to be honest, but I've got other priorities and I'm not a horror guy >.>

    I hope that's reflective of the rest of the game's critical receptions, for those of you who have become rabid fans over the past couple months ;-)

    (also, an Editor's Choice Award. To be honest, I didn't think it would get reviewed higher than 8's, so this is very interesting)

    It seems pretty good, but something about it just puts me off.  I'm not really interested.

    I may end up grabbing this game with that Toys 'R Us deal going on later this week...I must say that I'm surprised it got that high of a score. I always thought the game looked good, but I felt like it was going to disappoint...though it could still disappoint me. :P

    Do you have a link to so-called deal?

    Edit: Nevermind, found out what the deal was.  Buy 2 get 1 free.  Very nice.

    I planned on getting this game down the line, but all these limited editions with their artbooks are always enticing me, and I know they will be gone by the time I go to buy this game. I'm still going to hold off, but I will be jealous of those with artbooks. :(

    Still probably going to rent it, but it's worth playing however you do it. On the topic of the video review, these guys always say, "Rejoice" and it pissed me off.

    Its looked fantastic for most of this year. At some point that game fell under the radar and never really came back from that. But I read IGN's impressions of it and they were positive about it the whole time. So a month or so ago I watched those videos about the game and really got interested. Decided to buy it.

    This one will be worth it.

    "...sub-par snore fests..."

    You know it is boring when it is a sub-par snorefest.
    Anyways, I didn't really hear what he said in the review, I was just watching how awesome that game is. All of his complaints I didn't care about. I found what I'm doing during fall break.

    Promising, but IGN is never a definitive review for me, so I'll wait and see what a few more trusted outlets say.

    Nice..I already had planned on getting this since it looked really good to me, I didn't expect it to get that good of a score anywhere though regardless, so I'm really happy about this.

    Psyched and not psyched about the game. I like the the way the game looks and how it plays but the fact that pretty much every enemy looks the same and attacks in the same way really turns me off. Might rent it.

    Whether or not you agree with the score, IGN reviews (when written right) tend to give you a lot of information on the game's mechanics anyway, so you can get a feel for what you want/don't want from that (hopefully).

    I think i'll rent this one.I like Resident Evil,and this game looks quite similiar(with maybe a bit more thinking),but I have to budget how I spend my money on games.In fact most big games coming out this year i will have to rent cause the money simply is not there,due to school.In fact the only games I will probably buy this year are GoW 2 Fallout 3 and Wrath of the Lich King.

    Hey guys, if you can't wait for the game and really want to learn about a few achievements before you delve in, check out Rooster Teeth (from the makers of RvB). They now have an achievement hunting website, but have also uploaded some videos. Check them out! You can find all of their videos here.

    I am going to wait for a few other reviews but this game still looks pretty sweet.  It is weird how the review was pretty positive but the 8.7 was pretty much for problems that the reviewer said were easily tolerated.  Still gonna get it, looks awesome and scary.
