    Anybody on here playing Zeno Clash yet? Just finished downloading it and tried it out... very cool so far! It uses the Source engine, but was developed by an indie developer, and is totally refreshing... they call it an action fighter set in a fantasy world. Just getting started with it, and love what I've seen so far, but haven't seen anything on here about it. Check it out:

    Runs great too, with decent graphics as it does use the Source engine.

    Looks really cool, and I did see screens of it on Steam, the style looks really awesome, not to mention it's technically the best looking Source game I've ever seen. Makes me think of Serious Sam with all it's craziness.

    played through a bit of the campaign last night, actually a really fun game! It's kind of like a first person fighting game (punch,kick,block, etc), but also includes weapons (clubs,bow/arrows,pistols thus far, I'm sure more) and can be played as a first person shooter. Really fun fighting mechanics. Nice to play something different.

    Storywise, has kept my interest thus far, and does have a story to tell. So far two thumbs up. Plus, Steam achievements are fun too.

    Wow, this is really a cool game. Very original. Overall, gameplay, landscape, aesthetic, all new (except the engine, HL2).
    The story, weird, but if payed attention, it sort of make sense, in a world as weird as the one you are though. The game reminds me those sort of low profile, underground comics.
    Of course, don't expect the graphics of latest games, I don't think the Chilean developers were intending to compete with nowadays graphics. But they did develop something we haven't seen for some time: originality in all its sense. The originality we saw on Bioshock may be, of course in a very different way and gameplay.
