I've been keeping my eye on this game since i first heard about it ;]

he game's main character is a man named Hayden Tenno (voiced by Michael Rosenbaum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Rosenbaum) of Smallville (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallville_%28TV_Series%29) fame), a morally ambivalent clean-up man employed by the CIA. He suffers from a real-life disease called congenital analgia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_insensitivity_to_pain) that does not allow him to feel pain. On a mission in a fictional former eastern bloc nation, he is exposed to a biological compound which mutates him, dramatically changing his right arm, and giving him the ability to spontaneously grow a three-bladed throwable weapon called a glaive (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaive#Other_uses). As explained in Game Informer Magazine, the glaive is a part of his body, can be used to generate light, and can be controlled remotely by the player. During the course of the game, Hayden encounters others that have been similarly mutated by the compound. However, the mutation process is painful to the point that its victims go mad. Hayden's congenital analgia inadvertently protects him from this aspect of the mutation.

Looks good imo, very gears of war esque. I'll give it a rent.

The case looks like a big copy of Assasins Creed, it looks pretty similar actually, haha.

But gameplay looks pretty cool, I guess it's something to play while Gears of War 2 is being made.

It's by Digital Extremes, I'm surprised it doesn't use the unreal engine with it being made by them xD

Edit - Rofl it's banned in Australia, I'm glad I don't live there...They don't seem to be happy with anything that gets released with violence, I'd be surprised if GTA4 even gets released at this rate
