Just noticed this is available for mac.. may grab it. I saw it when it came out but never really made an effort to play it. Is it any good? I know the graphics are hella dated by todays standards, but gameplay and art is timeless and most important for me..

Anyone have some things to say about it?

I watched the trailer, I recommend you watch it if you havent seen this game before because it does look really sweet.

indeed, I love this kind of genre. Films like Pans Labrynth really press my buttons.. Speaking of which, are there any more films such as this or Pans Labrynth? You know, twisted fairytale type horrors.

Naw, Ive got a core 2 duo 2.2 ghz macbook, it can manage all games up to perhaps 2006 I think, but I'm more interested in catching up on some quality games that I missed out on. I recently played 2000's Sanitarium and loved it, so I'm just on the look out for the ones I overlooked.

American McGee's Alice is a great game. Weird story-line, dark and morbid... Graphic was one of the best when game came out. Gameplay was (and is) amazing. I was 13 when I played it for the first time and I loved it. Nowdays I love it even more Wink

It's one of the best games ever

it's just too bad american has 0 rights over it now, it's all EA.

also check out his other game, scrap land as it's pretty good too :/ bad day LA is horrible though.

naked lunch = too much gay messages lol... not that its a bad movie, but when you look at it deeply you kinda have the feeling that its meant to deliver something about homosexuality.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0256009/ the devils backbone (guillermo movie before pans lab... didn't see it but heard it was in the same style)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0464141/ El orfanato, Its been released in PAL recently and i liked it. I thought it felt a bit like pans lab
