"This is a pretty-looking, short, budget-priced, by-the-numbers futuristic shooter that's most notable for its episodic nature and its old heritage.
The Good: Messy, fairly intense shooting action; interactive environments make good use of realistic physics; budget-priced package includes the original sin game.
The Bad: Only three main weapons; limited enemy variety, lackluster artificial intelligence; uninspired story and dialogue has a distinct lack of wisecracking; no multiplayer. "

Well this is a pretty entertaining game. it uses the hl2 engine, downloadable i believe off steam. Its worth checkin out.

Gameplay: 7
Graphics: 8
Sound: 8
Fun Factor: 8
Overall: 8/10

i have the original sin and its expansion pack. the game had many many glitches and bugs (werent really good ones either) and was only updated once or twice, but it was still fun. im assuming the episodes version is much better since its on a new engine. i thought about getting this, but im still not sure :(

Still debating whether I want to spend $20 for this. If it was $10 cheaper I'd probably get it.

EDIT: I also can't stand that HUD - what where they thinking it doesn't fit at all?

the original had kind of a cartoon/comic feel to it. maybe they were trying to throw some of that back in ;\
