I'll sell you mine.

I actually think its worth a playthrough despite its flaws. Depends what you game for, I think people who just want to sit down and blow things away for a couple hours will hate it. People who want to experience a bit more of a narrative in their game experience can get something out of it. That being said, I wish there was a bit more blowing things away. As someone who is sick of typical first person shooters and alien games I still think its refreshing to see a game that tries for a different genre and targets the mature gamer. I'd like to see more developers take a chance at making something like this than continuing to see the formulaic garbage that gets dished out in the gaming world these days.
