Blyss:
Fittingly enough, I'm about to restart this game, because I never finished it, and always wanted to. 

Will be adding to the conversation soon.

Oh, and (click to show/hide)that fucking commercial. I laughed, and laughed, and laughed so hard. I had to put the controller down and just breathe for a minute.

Some people were pretty pissed off by it though, and I can see why; the juxtaposition of everything going to hell around you and then BAM! Real-life commercial. It just...it just tickled me.

I'm leaning towards 'yeah, probably', but hey, sometimes I dodge a bullet (like with Mass Effect's second purchasable addition).

The DLCs are definitely worth it, especially 'The Writer'.  And you might consider getting American Nightmare as well.  I'll just come right out and say it's not as good as the original game and its DLCs, but it is still a memorable experience.  Plus, there's a 'Fight Til Dawn' mode which plays somewhat like Gears of War's Horde mode but isn't multiplayer.  That's if you're in the mood for way too much action, hehe.

Masterpiece:
American Nightmare was pretty nice in the sense that they did try to change the formula a bit. And the game and the story were somewhat enjoyable.

But I have to admit I've played it once and never touched it again.

Actually, I think it was all the changes that made it not as good as the original game.  The atmosphere isn't as spooky, IMO.  You can see all the enemies a mile away because you're no longer in the woods having to discern tree from foe!  Your flashlight recharges at a ridiculously fast pace, so you rarely have to strategize about exactly how long to boost, who to target first, etc.  The added weapons (particularly the semi-automatics) just draw your attention away from survival and toward KILLING GRUBS! - or, sorry, the Taken - thought I was discussing Gears of War for a second for some reason?  :wink: And then there's the fact that Alan has the stamina to literally outrun any Taken in the game.  And since you're almost never trapped with the Taken anywhere, the game could just as easily be survived by bolting the opposite direction.  These were all things the team that created American Nightmare "fixed" in response to criticism of the original, no doubt.  Shows to go ya, sometimes even the players don't really know what they want in a game and what they're better off without!

Be my luck, for the sequel, they'll give Alan a "Super Clicker" in the middle of the game so one press of a button will annihilate all enemies in a five mile radius  :-(
