    Note: I covered an early Alpha build of this a year and a half ago, but the latest build is a significant improvement. The visuals are improved, there are lots of new areas, it has new enemies, there's much more story, the dismemberment is even more brutal and the introduction of the Necronomicon is pretty cool.

    We are living in the boomer shooter renaissance and it`s great. We have New Blood interactive, the return of 3d realms and Apogee at the same time, countless Doom total conversion mods, the 2001 build of Duke Nukem Forever, and Golden eye officially on modern platforms.

    The game kind of makes me like the idea of an outside context horror- where the player is one kind of monster waking up to a situation full of other monsters- someone waking up as a man-eating horror, but upon going to feed discovering someone's awoken the elder gods and we're all f'ed. The game does a great job at not making you feel bad about eating these particular jerk's testicles either!

      I assume you're aware of the game Blood. You don't eat people in that but you ARE some kind of supernatural evil being arising from his grave and then going off to fight a dark god.

    Atherton has never done us wrong. He is a pillar of this community and a good man. That wretched bitch deserved what she got."
    ... Well, *someone* who was literate wasn't saving merciful words and thoughts for the witch. I get the feeling he wouldn't have been much _for_ following Jesus' words, I mean, what ever happened to "Do not judge, and you shall not be judged?" He ignored it or forgot it.
