best of both worlds!

User Rating: 9.5 | Shadowgrounds PC
this game is pretty neat. i love the fact that frozenbyte took the atmosphere of doom 3, aliens, etc.. and tossed it into a blender with super smash TV elements, and out came shadowgrounds! not a bad game at all. totally worth the 6 bucks i gave for it. i do admit that the mixing in of new school graphics with ye old school gameplay, is rather refreshing. i wish that i could play it on 1440x900 resolution, but i guess 1024x768 will have to do for now.. other than that, its a great game so far. havent beaten it yet, but i feel i am close.. i dont know why gamespot is hard on reviews, i think this game deserved at least an 8.. maybe 8.5. but thats me.. other than that, good game. i mean, who doesnt like walking down a dark corridor, and having to actually turn on your flashlight to see whats in a dark room, and not seeing the alien fixing to eat your face off?! and the invisible snake-like aliens just add more spice to the flavor.. yeah they can sneak up on you, but just tell them to back off with a blast of the shotty, or chew them up with the minigun.. its all good.. reminds me of alien shooter.. but not as difficult
