The start is a little HL / HL2 influenced (which is no bad thing as they still stand as classic single player FPS) but the story line is intruiging. I completed the demo (not hard, its very, very short) but can't wait to go back and have another go

What did it for me though was a moment yesterday where I practically jumped out of my seat. This game is very atmospheric: There I am having cleared out a room searching for spoils. I crouched down to search a bin I'd knocked over. The lights flicker momentarily. I swivel round, nothing there. A brief flash of light a silhouette appears morphing in to a real ugly mamma. In that split second of recognition I stare deep in to his eyes (or at least where his eye sockets used to be) and I hear myself say out loud "****!" before instinctively letting off two shotgun rounds in to his face as he looms over me with his wrench in hand.
So much for the zap 'em and whack 'em approach.
I remember my first moment like that . . . I was playing the original Tomb Raider on the PS. It was the first level, and the music was building to a climax, I knew something was coming but what? Then two wolves appeared out of nowhere and I jumped out of my seat!!
Typing this reminded me of another one, this time in Black and White. A minor easter egg was triggered when I was playing very late at night, and the game only went and whispered my name!! Apparently, Lionhead had recorded a load of whispered names and the game looked through your HD for any trace so it could trigger the easter egg . . . spooky!
I love moments like that
