    It's worth noting that Dreamkiller is having a free weekend on Steam and it's also 25% off this weekend too.

      Hey, I really wanted to buy this game and enjoy it. And I tried it now but optimization is really bad. I have Intel Core 2 Quad 2.8 GHz CPU, 2 GB RAM, 512 MB nVidia 9800 GTX+ with 32 Bit Windows 7 and game is running really bad on my system. I can understand if game has really nice graphics like CrySis but with this graphics and this performance is really wondering me. I don't know maybe I am the one having this problem, anyway I will pass this game now.

      Or maybe devs will release a patch to optimize the game I don't know. When this time comes maybe I will buy it.

          The screenies don't look much better than the original Painkiller. Even more surprising, Painkiller has held up real well over the last 5 years.

      I'm having a hard time imagining anyone who tries the free weekend going for the deal.

      it's really not.

      Altitude, on the other hand - now there's a game worth noting. Had a ton of fun playing that multiplayer.
