Ugh, I didn't know this was by the guys that made scrapland. I don't know how much I'm looking forward to it anymore...

  This is NOT by the guy who made Scrapland or Bad Day L.A., that was American Mcgee. Cliver Barker is a Mastermind, he writes spectacular books, and does films, such as Hellraiser, amongst several others. He also previously helped in the making of Cliver Barker's Undying, one of the first games to utilize a dual-wielding control scheme in which you could fire each gun as separate entities. So, you see, you were slightly mistaken.

    I forgot to mention that this game looks and hopefully will be awesome. The horribly grotesque creatures look like something explained straight out of a Clive Barker book such as a creature from the Inovo in his book Imajica. I seriously can't wait to get my hands on it, the powers sound unique and the gameplay looks like F.E.A.R. on amphetamines. Plus, ya know, it's from Clive Barker.

      Scrapland wasn't made by American McGee though? I'm pretty sure I remember hearing that they basically just slapped his name on it.
      
      I liked Undying a lot but that was a completely different developer.
