The Thing, fun squad based survival horror.

One of these titles that went by unnoticed, it's a shame. I picked it up for 10 euro's, well worth the price. Squad based survival horror, now this is something new. You have to take care of your buddies, because if they don't thrust you or think you are infected they may turn on you. Walk into a room full of stuff that was once a part of a human body, and they will freak out. If they freak out they may just shoot in all directions, hit a teammate, voila chain reaction. It is a bit ironic, 'the Thing' is the first game to succesfully catch the spirit of 'aliens', the other big sci-fi horrorflick. You will be assaulted by hordes of creeps, there is a lot of action in this game and it feels great because it controls like your typical shooter, only the y axis(sp?) is missing but auto-aim makes up for that. Very cool game, paranoia, claustrophobic research complex, PLENTY of gore, it really does nothing wrong; for this price I higly recommend it.

a friend of mine was obsessed with this game for a while. i've never had the chance to play it, maybe i'll pick it up.

No y-axis? That has got to be a strange feeling.
