I have a PC powerful to run it faithfully, Amazon.co.uk have it at a reasonable price. So, am I an idiot for not buying it yet!
Begin the barrage and convince me to separate cash from my wallet!
Dude, it's art deco.
Have you played the demo? I played five minutes of the demo and bought the game. It's art deco!
If I ever had a moment of time for computer games, I'd have gotten it the day it came out.
Just watch the trailer again, that should do the trick.

I love that argument. I grew up in an art-deco obsessed North London and love it.
I think I'll get it when the next paycheck arrives.
Its one of the most atmospheric games I have ever played.
Wish I had thought of it first :haw:
I just borrowed it--it wasn't exactly what I consider "replayable" (hence worth owning) its a good game though, enjoyed it immensely.
One of the Bad Guys (tm) turns his victims into "art" by encasing them in plaster.
The height of defense technology is machine-gun equipped robotic mini-copters powered by outboard motors.
Also, creepy little girls.
It crashes even more than NWN2.
I played the short demo. If I was into CRPGs I'd get it in a moment.
I love it - its brilliant, its beautiful and its FUN. I really need to get off my ass and finish the damned thing. I got stuck in an area, and I started playing Team Fortress 2 and Zombie Panic mod for HL2, and I just haven't gone back to it.
It delivers a lot less than it promises, and the ending is disappointing in scope - and yet it is still heads and shoulders above most other games out in the last few years.
Well, I bought it last Saturday. Sat down, turned off the lights and scared the shit out of myself for a good few hours. Loving it.
Thanks for the encouragement.
Its got a lot of good "jumpy" moments.
One of my favourite things so far is that I was checking out a cupboard and as a turned around, there was this horrid sighter with armed raised ready to hit me. He'd crept up behind me! And waited. WAITED! That scared the crap out of me, so different to any FPS I've played before. :)

Same here. Replayability is key for me, but Bioshock is just awesome.
I think with the harvesting of Adam from the little girls, you're given a choice, making me play it at least twice.

Not much for me, I don't much like being a villain in games usually...I mean I like being GM in tabletop, and have a fun villain in COH--but that was just something I couldn't do...hurt little girls, even in a pretend game. Just too soft hearted. I cried at the good ending! Even.

I'm with you there, but you only have to do it a few times to get the mean guy ending (which, in my opinion, isn't worth the trouble).

Silverlion and Seanchai, you're not the normal fayre for residents of this community, are you? ;) I just listened to the voice that told me they weren't human. That was enough for me. I'm as far as Neptune and it's still freaking me out! :)
I think there are some bugs in this game. It keeps telling me i have an unassigned plasmid slot, wich I don't (and can't access anything at the gene bank). I've also been trying to rescue all the little sisters on the current level, except there aren't any, just a couple of big daddies wandering around alone.
Changing between weapon and plasmid is a royal pain in the backside, frankly. BY the time you've swapped from electro schock to weapon the target has recovered from being zapped.

Oh, no, I'm a complete asshole...
