This game is shaping up quite nicely!

I'm having an absolute blast with this demo......anyone else playing it as well?

Check out the official site HERE!

Nice Big Pic Here!

Another one!

Last one!

There's more at the website! Download the demo if you can! It's pretty neat!

They trying to cash in on doom3's popularity before it even comes out? This reminds me of "back in the day" when a million doom clones came out called things like "Gloom" (Amiga cd 32) and "Blood" and stuff.

Looks good tho, downloading the demo.

EDIT: get the demo from here you don't have to piss around with queing and stuff.

Yes, i downloaded it, very entertaining, lots of ragdolls. I especially liked the mental patients with lobotomies and feet and hands amputated. Those exploding green-goblin witch things are most entertaining too.

Looks pretty bitchin too.

I liked the hanging bodies towards the beginning....the way they sway when stuff hits them.

The demo is a bit on the buggy side (mucho slowdown, game stops, freezes)......but I'm still looking forward to it's release.

I didn't have any problems like that and mine's got everything on full. It's a pity they didn't include the intro or anything, or the ability to save your game, but it's fun nonetheless.

I think this may be the biggest problem. The game isn't exactly original. Its just another FPS that looks real nice. They show off the ragdolls cause come down to it, that's the only thing it does really well.

Eh. Originality is overrated. Sometimes, a good mindless shooter with hordes of enemies is the perfect way to waste a few hours. Think Serious Sam.
