Well I picked this up on released and I gotta say it was excellent - the Story,Voice acting,GFX,Sound effects and Mood was well done - Scared the hell outa me the 1st time around.

In all I really Enjoyed this FPS even if it is so Linear

And what's wrong with linear, eh, Iane? Eh?

But... I'm really not into FPS games, anyhow, so... whatever.

Apparently the people who produced this game are among those trying out these new, ludicrous methods of creative 'copy-protection', in this case requiring you to create and maintain a Steam account.

...But if it doesn't bother anyone, I suppose there's no reason to complain. (Except that according to the posts on Amazon it apparently does bother a bunch of people.)

Oh, well.

At least it's not as bad as Assassins Creed's protection method.

Methinks maybe some of these developers are stabbing themselves in the foot -- or some other highly valued bodypart -- with these hysterical attempts to protect their product from pirating.

(By the way, Iane: I think I like your new avatar... scary, but strangely appealing.)

I got this game for free at PAX2010, and it really stresses my computer out at the settings I want it at.

It's alright I suppose, I kind of missed the first gun thing right in the beginning.
