Picked the first one up in Game as part of a 3 for a tenner. It's still on the shelf though, filled under 'probably never bother to install' Who's it made by again?

Played bit of the demo of the first do perhaps not a fair try but imo it was pants.

By those guys that made Chrome, a game that was graphically way ahead of its time but buggy as all hell.

That trailer looks soooooo choppy. Hope they optimise it nicely for the pc, cos I sure as hell wouldn't want to play it on a console

1st was a damn fine game, incredibly short but a lot of fun while it lasted, and looked very nice. MP was kind of worthless though. This should as least be good for some awesome linear SP action.

It's made by Techland, who IMO are one of the most underrated developers when it comes to the graphical quality of their engines (note, I'm talking purely appearances here, as performance and stability leave a bit to be desired!).

As mentioned, Chrome is arguably the best looking game made pre-2004 (i.e. before Far Cry) and is very impressive in terms of the vegetation etc. With a bit of tweaking to the gameplay and heavier advertising I think it could have done a lot better.

Techland eh? Never heard of them, never the less I'll install it when I get a minute. Actually at this moment I'm downloading a direct x10 patch for it - nearly 1GBs worth. Better be good Hangtime!
