Well, on Steam anyway.

I just played about 30 minutes of it and I can say without reservation it was worth the $10. Runs like ass though, despite being a good port in most other ways.

pre ordered it and now downloading it (although bought stargate series 3 off i tunes so downloading slowly) looked pretty cool from video cant wait to play it.

Glad your enjoying it.

I wish TV shows on iTunes were DRM free like the music is now. I would buy a fucking ton of TV show episodes if they were.

Trying to not sound like an Apple fanboy as much as possible, I believe the owners of the TV shows that are on iTunes now may be the ones insisting on their DRM the most. Before iTunes dropped the DRM for music, all songs were $0.99 each (Steve Jobs wanted all songs to be "equal" apparently). After the music DRM was dropped iTunes introduced variable pricing for songs, which can be interpreted as being a deal Apple made with the music companies.

Makes sense, I wasn't really applying blame. I think we all know publishers are the ones DRM happy, not distributors so much. In any case I just wish it were so... I collect boxed PC games but other than Doctor Who I don't care at all about TV show boxes. I would love to just buy episodes like I buy songs but I can't accept the DRM.

But when it comes to iPhone apps, there is no option for publishers to offer DRM free product. It's FairPlay or the highway, unfortunately.

Oh, right, Hydrophobia. Yay.

GameRager: I got it on LIVE, and was amazed at the time, after the previews, that it was so cheap & also not on any other platform at the time.
I hear this version has changed a lot. I know I watched the quicklook of the original release on giantbomb and the voice actor for your partner is completely different for instance.

Something about it reminds me of Beyond Good & Evil. I might check it out after I recover from all the Witcher stuff.

GameRager: I'll finish it first on live to get the cheevos then.
Cheevos... ha... that term always makes me chuckle.

GameRager: It's shorter than the alternative.
I'm not mocking it, it's a cute term.

Made a short 1080p video of some gameplay:

It seems like pretty awesome game so far, especially for 8 euros.

Oh man I hated it on Live. Hopefully the port fixed a lot of stuff and made it not suck.

Just started playing it and i am impressed so far. Good graphice (actually water effects are great), interesting storyline and the game plays well. A fun game ii would recommend .

Anyone else having mouse issues? My mouse movement is all floaty and I get weird stutters at times.

Xbox controller works perfectly though, which is what I switched to. I think there is shooting later though, so I would like to use KBM.

So...what's the verdict? Is it a good game now?
