I just want to back this up. I payed full price for it and do not feel ripped off in the slightest. The soundtrack has somehow left Portal 2's in the dust (and that was amazing!) and there is a constant flow of surprises and scenarios to keep the game feeling fresh yet unified. I'm about 5 hours in and I've already got my $60. Any one who is talking about this game as if it's a half-assed effort or has a low budget/production value feel either hasn't played the game or can't accurately articulate what it is they didn't like about it.
I feel it may end up like a Vanquish or something when eventually everyone catches on after the price has dropped, units have failed to move, and are like, "Hey, this is great! So, any chance of a sequel? No?! Why not?!"...

I'd pay $60 for this. Alice is worth $40, if you ask me. Just because it has no multiplayer doesn't mean it should be priced less anyway. I'm probably picking Shadows up for a friend whose birthday is this week, and would buy it for myself if I had enough money. Can't say the same about Alice, sadly.
By the way, multiplayer is not a necessary factor and not every game needs it.

Hmm, I saw about one hundred cut scenes in the first 3 minutes of the Giantbomb quicklook. Didn't seem too awesome.

Oh, yeah. It is a little surprising. Thanks for clarifying.
Wait, there are people that actually think every game needs multiplayer to be worth $60? Is this why my Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and Bishock 2 have dumbass tacked-on multiplayer achievements? Get the fuck out of here.
Shadows of the Damned is this year's GOTY so far and everyone should buy it. The game is of top notch quality. It's an unbelievably good Resident Evil 4 spinoff, in a sense. It plays almost exactly like RE4, just with a bad ass, hilarious Mexican protagonist, lots of low brow humour, and tons and tons of demons and sexy blonde bombshell and crazy gore. The game has incredibly tight controls. Garcia Hotspur moves just the way you want him to. Right after I beat Shadows, in various third-person action games I'd always constantly mash the A button on my 360 to turn 180 degrees, but none of those games have anything like that (Assassin's Creed and Gears, namely). That goes to show you how useful something like that is. The music is also incredible. Mmmm, I just adore that start-up menu music, the slow guitar notes playing over and over.
Magnifico!

Fuck those bombas, I bought both Alice and Shadows on day 1 [/stealth brag] because these are two of the more memorable and unique games from the first half year. I hope the games do well for you EA because you sure as shit didn't bother to inform the masses, so no complaining about bombas please

Well, I'm not that big on consoles especially when it comes to UE3 games, but Enslaved looked worse (and ran worse) and Bulletstorm looked on par with it if we talk about image quality.
edit: WAIT, you haven't played the game? hahaha, why do I even bother discussing its technical aspects with you.
