I really enjoyed the demo, even though I have a hard time enjoying scary games. The game controls beautifully, the graphics are awesome, and it runs like a dream on my rig (e6750 oc'ed @ 3.5GHz, 8800GTS 640MB, 2GB ram)

I replayed the demo for a second time and the random placement of enemies and stuff made it feel fresh and one of them snuck up on me and scared the living shit out of me, because I forgot about the random thing and thought I got all the enemies in the area.

The gun/plasmid combo is brilliant, I love the way it works and can't wait to play with more weapons in the full game.

I just wish I wasn't such a scaredy cat. :(
