It's weird, and it looks nice, as did the first.
My only complaint at the moment is that in staying true to the original they've made the game (at least at this point) seem just a little simplistic and linear.
Though, I am enjoying it and will play through to the end.
Didn't realize there was a new one out=thanks I'll check it out :)

I have to get back to Alice: Madness Returns and even cooler they added the first game as DLC to the game! I can't wait to play that as well.

Currently I just beat Dead Island for XB360 and will probably play Batman: Arkham City , along w/ Alice, next.

Almost done with Amnesia: The Dark Descent for my 3rd or 4th play through. More than highly recommended to everyone here who hasn't played it, even if you aren't a gamer. It, to me, is the defining game of the horror genre, and I can't wait for the sequel.

Sure, it looks scary and what i've heard it's probably the scariest game to date.

I just hate the concept.

Don't think i will ever play a game (again) where you can't fight back somehow. Pisses me off.

I don't play very many horror games because most of them let me down. I play mostly fantasy and sci fi rpg or rts games and sports games. Lately I've been playing a lot of baseball on my 360.

Sleeping Dogs
It's ok...though nothing really we haven't seen before.
The one thing I keep thinking while playing it, is that it's playable enough but it just seems like elements that have been done better in earlier games.
GTA4 did driving and shooting better.
Shenmue did the fighting and combat system better waaay back past 10 years ago. (Goddamn I'd like to see a third)
Saints Row...well, didn't do it better, but quite similar.

Don't get me wrong, it's an alright game but it just seems pretty derivative.
The storyline is "ok", the voice acting is serviceable.
Though I have to say it's really just more of a "time kill" game, I find myself not driven to complete actual missions, and bored when I don't.
...I thought the camera hacking/drug bust element was rather interesting...if only they'd taken that in further directions that would be cool.

At this point I'd give it about a 5/10.

Honestly, it's awesome. Penumbra bothered me since you couldn't fight back, but there wasn't as much story and stealth. Amnesia isn't really all that monster heavy, it plays like a heavy atmosphere Lovecraft story with a couple chase parts. Totally worth it.
