Can somebody remind me why I might have downloaded this? I'm sure it must have been pitched to me somewhat effectively already but I really can't remember what made me get it or why I never got around to playing it.

Edit: okay turns out this is the remake that just came out. I'm guessing I acquired this after having watched Ben Croshaw's review of the old one. Or seeing that it was being remade and remebering the old one being something he spoke well of

you have a stake shooter and can pin enemies to the walls and ceiling, it has some nice gory weapons.

I finished it more than once I think, but last time I tried it I felt like it hadn't aged well and dropped it.

They made a remake but it was not good and had some dumb issues like forced bots companions in single player if I'm not wrong

ohh damn yeah this is definitely the remake i've got. i was thinking this would be better without the bots
