I didn't believe my friend when he said it was the best game in the world....., 5 December 2005
Author: d_Toemta from Norway

Four years later my brother installed the game to my computer without telling me about it. He also told me it was the best game ever made...I still didn't believe them. Maybe I was just being lazy. I finally put off some time to play it and I was totally blown away! Amazingly good game! Filled with governments, spies, secret government bases and (best of all) ALIENS!!! Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on you) there's a very large level of mystery in the game. Government conspiracies, stealthy missile launches and the biggest cliffhanger ending in the world. Scary at times. One time I jumped out of my chair! (Watch out for the black shadowy corners). Hailed by PC-Gamer as "The Best 3D action game ever made", and I couldn't agree more. The game itself won about 45 game of the year awards from many different publications.

So if you don't have this game then either get it in some store, steal it from store, borrow it from some friend or (like I did) steal it from some friend.
