Am i the only one that gets really exited about running around an uber secret government base? I think thats one of the reasons i loved Half-Life so much!! I might just have to pick this one up.

It looks pretty cool, it reminds me alittle of Doom 3...

I'm not much into futuristic games such as this, but who knows, might be worth playing.

Nontheless, the graphics look pretty cool!

to be honest, the title of your thread is the forst time i heard of it.

Do you have a link with a good preview? google search is clogged with conspiracy theories
