Hey, its better than most modern shooters. I mean, the stealth works, and the environments are rather open. Plus, its cheap.

I tried to visit City Interactive's website (yeah, they changed name into CI Games now, probably to get rid of some tainted name), but all their old crappy titles have been wiped from their history. Now it's just this and some other crappy titles. These guys have previously been pumping out an insane amount of poorly made and rushed games that are simply made to cash in on those poor souls who don't know any better than to buy their shit and then regret it later on.

At some points, they've even bought he rights to games that are similar to their own, and just published them under their own name and brand.

I bought a 3-pack of some flight games many years ago, they were all pretty much reskins of themselves, and later on bought some generic FPS game that was utterly terrible. I then noticed the same CI logo on all 4 games and found a new mission in life.

Wow! That is an incredibly depressing list of game titles. A perfect "how not to name your game" lesson right there.

...Although...The Chickenator and Redneck Kentucky and the Next Generation of Chickens, has aroused some vague curiosity. Perhaps my obsession with chickens is starting to show.

OT. Tell me more about this chalking system, Jim. Can one chalk obscenities on NPC's faces? Is that alone, worth 20 pounds, stirling?

CAPTCHA:"half inch" Who talked...Goddammit?!!

Everyone has their own opinion. I buy and play on Enemy Front and honestly I don't regret time which I spend on this game. Maybe Enemy Front not is ideal game but I hope CI Games fixed as much as they can bugs on this game soon. I have good fun playing on this game. All games have advantages and disadvantages so here I do not focused on bugs but on mission and good fun.

I knew it was a bad omen when I saw the game in EB a few weeks ago and realized it had been released with virtually no coverage whatsoever. And when I went to find some trailers, it only got worse: really bland looking gameplay and another goddamn Yankee saving the world as a member of various resistance groups in occupied Europe (because we couldn't have a Polish main character or something!). Shame, because the graphics are superb and WW2 is always a plus for me.

Call me when we get a WW2 game from the Axis perspective for a sodding change.
