    Just finished this today, and I have to say damn!!!! That is one great game with really amazing story. Loved every minute of it from beginning to the final credits. XD Played mostly as Ray, one of the most bad FPS characters in Bound in Blood and Call of Juarez. Think I will start over and play as Thomas. Anyway, highly recommend this one. Miss the DX10 of Call of Juarez, but it doesn't matter, this game doesn't need it to be awesome. XD

    I've been looking at this game a lot lately and I am really interested in purchasing it. However, I hate spending $50 for a game so I might bight into Fallout 3 while its half off on steam.

    The first game was good but the performance was sh*t in a way.

    I will post some benchmarks soon maybe this weekend.

    Here are some:

    Screen1
    Screen2
    Screen3
    Screen4
    Screen5
    Screen6
    Screen7
    Screen8
    Screen9
    Screen10
    Screen11
    Screen12
    Screen13
    Screen14

    All maxed settings in Windows 7 RC 1 on an 8700m at 1440 X 900.

    The first game did perform pretty bad, it was after all one of the first to use DX10 properly. *glares at Crysis Play it in Windows 7 it will be a completely different experience, Call of Juarez was the first game I tested in RC1. XD
