    Who else is completely STOKED about this game?!! It looks f'n AMAZING!!! Great visuals, killer soundtrack, and badass gameplay.... and lots of good humour along the way.

    What started out as an April Fools joke is now a fully-fledged standalone title. Just check out these trailers. Game is due tonight at midnight, for only $15!! (you don't have to own FarCry 3 to get this)

    That looks AMAZING! It reminds me of my days playing Duke Nukem and Doom 64. Oh man those were some fun times.

    I picked it up. I will get a chance to play it Friday as I will be out Thursday. Perhaps a bit today.

    I'm playing this tomorrow. I'm looking forward to punching LaserSharks with a robotic terminator style arm.

    This game doesn't have Duke's one-liners or toilet humor.

    It's awesome so far. Just like the trailers show. I like it.

    My only gripe about the game was the mouse sensitivity just felt off. Didn't feel right to me no matter how I adjusted the settings, so I plugged in an Xbox controller and I'm playing with that. Could be just my mouse's own settings, because even in Mass Effect it was way too sensitive.

    It's pretty fun. The only gripes I have is that it feels much more linear than Far Cry 3 and there is a bit more stealth involved than I had hoped. In some missions you really need to stealth around - I would prefer the option to do whatever. The pros do however vastly outweigh the cons. The dialogue is funny and unique and the setting is nice. It's like Tron meets Terminator meets Duke Nukem. A lot of sarcastic and funny lines and talk. The image of "press A to demonstrate you can read" is actually in the tutorial - "enter" if you are on PC. Things like that make the game feel much more satisfying and fun.

    If you liked Far Cry 3 it is pretty much the same style of game, just with an 80's retro feel to it, glow in the dark dinosaurs, comedic action and dialogue, and everything is neon!

    For some fun spam cyber hearts around and watch the dinosaurs fight the enemy soldiers for you.

    Definitely a fun game, worth the $15 (or free, as in my case, from amd cards)

    Very over the top, all the way thru.
