Yeah, I'm a year late on picking up this game but I just needed to post here - what a game! I'm not a fan of survival horror but it's definitely made a mark after just one hour of game-play.

I've seen that I can get it for the PC for ~£12, and I've been getting bored of Fallout + its expansions (75 hours in) but realised that we had a copy for PS3 in our games library at work. So I'm playing it on my PS3 at work at lunch today with a few bods around my desk watching me (my headphones are on) and I'm in an open-plan office. After the first monster that plays dead comes alive in front of me and I flail around trying to kill it I end up yelling "stamp on that ******!" across the office...not good!
I'm now playing on my PS3 at home, yet I just have to turn if off as I keep yelling "**** me!" at the screen, waking up my house-mates!

If you've not yet picked this up, it's well worth a go. They've got the atmosphere sorted to a T. Within a matter of minutes of starting the game you're on the edge of your seat! The musical score in the background will really set your nerves on edge.
Not bad for £12 (or free in my case).

Ha, sorry about the delay :)
I haven't been able to play for a couple of days as I've been at my g/f's house :( In fact she's gonna be round tonight so I'm gonna have to play whilst she's asleep! I've been watching that animated film, Dead Space Downfall - it's very good! I'm looking forward to get back into the game.

Btw I'm a games programmer (well I actually write low-level tech, not the games) hence the work PS3 and the games library!

Hmm - I once broke out my PSP whilst she was watching Eastenders (can't stand the show) and I didn't get a good reaction! So I had to watch people arguing for half an hour instead.

I still didn't get to play the game at the weekend! I did see Pandorum though, which kinda put the willies in me (heh). For those who've actually played it, a couple of questions
- what's the point of the stasis/slow down thing? Do you use it on bad guys or simply on puzzles?
- I'm creeping through the game - how long will it take to complete the game? I've made it to the second level and it's taken me an hour.
- what's with the charging up air thing? How many levels actually have no air? Is it worth upgrading the air asap?

I finally got another go this eve and loved every minute of it! Again, the sound effects and music are the best part of the game and totally make the atmosphere - at one point some monsters hid behind a door - where I couldn't find them - and the music kept getting faster and faster! I'm all like "shut up so I can think straight!"
Still had to pack it in ten mins ago for fear of waking people up with all the swearing :D
