Here is the new question.

by the look of the graphics that'll be boring old regular edition children of the nile, not the fancy new enhanced edition

Congrats. :) Your turn now.

OK I couldn't resist so here goes:
What is THIS game?

Age of Decadence

Since y'all are bored, what's THIS game?

Looks like part of the FEAR cover.

It certainly looks more like artwork than a screenshot.

Ah, found it, apparently it's a modified FEAR cover for FEAR combat... I was wondering why he was carrying the wrong gun:

========================== NEW CHALLENGE ==========================
(Germans might have a bit of an advantage here, as I believe it was more popular on this side of the pond)
This is a screenshot from the second part of the series.
The publisher is now (after 2 aquisititions) part of Vivendi

Where is the new question?

Second part of my previous post + attachment.
The forum now merges identical posts by the same person, so I couldn't make a separate post for it.
The initial publisher was aquired by Sierra. The game (mainly the first part) was ported to numerous platforms, including Mac and Playstation. It remains one of the most highly recommended PS1 games for PS2 and PS3.

Wouldn't be from Flashback would it?

Cold. Very Cold. Close to absolute zero.

A couple of hints would be nice. Like the setting of the game or what genre. Just a thought. :-)
