One of John Carpenter's finest films, it worked with its single premise and created a taut atmosphere where paranoia oozed off the screen. The story concentrated on a shapeshifting alien, that functions more like a virus than anything else, which had got loose in an Antarctic research base.

Never liked the 360 controller tbh.

Further to the review Computer Artworks have released a v1.2 patch which adds mouselook to the game. It is very similar to Max Payne I understand,.

A reason for me to replay the game once again! :)
