Got through the first part of Sin Episodes today, called Emergence. Although the story and plot is just so-so, it makes up for it with some wickedly fun gameplay, I enjoyed myself all the way through it. It’s based on the Source engine that runs Half-Life 2 amongst others, so it’s somewhat similiar in the way you can interact with stuff and not to mention that it’s very hardware friendly. Even though I only have a mid-range system, I have no problem turning the graphics up a notch or two without experiencing lag. I’m looking forward to playing the future episodes that are coming, although I think it’s a bit overpriced compared to other games, when you only get ~8 hours or so worth of gameplay out of it. One thing I loved about it was how the game adapts to your skill level, so if you’re used to playing fps games and know how to aim and shoot, the enemies will get harder and harder as it learns your moves and skill set.
