    Anybody played this, what do you make of it?

    I have it as a steam gift and don't know whether to trade it or keep it and play it. If I trade it it would be probably for portal 2 (as I want a second copy to try out co-op if that is worth it?)

    It's pretty good. It's not at all very different from Escape From Butcher Bay, but that was a great wee game I thought.

    might keep it so, sounds good. Not sure if trading for a few levels of co-op in portal 2 is worth it.

    The original game is an absolute gem. It was criminally underated when released unfortunately. The Dark Athena expansion itself isn't as good though but its real worth comes from the fact that it allowed for the original game to get a slight make over. Definitely keep it and definitely play it basically. :)

    Is it not a combo pack, as in you get Butcher Bay and Dark Athena in the one pack? Didn't think they were sold seperately.

    Dark Athena was grand. Not amazing, but a bit of fun. Butcher Bay, on the other hand was great. I loved it.

    Its fun enough mind you the pacing of it is mind boggling at times really feels like they thought this isn't the time to end the game right now and just decided to keep making it......feels more like 2 games shoved together

    Lesson one: You probably shouldn't be trying to get into firefights.

    ive recently started replaying butchers bay, its part of the DA game. its good, but i forgot how bloody mindlessly hard it is!

    like when im sitting in the shadows, and then move briefly still in the shadows, nad all of a sudden every prison guard knows exactly where i am and shoots the shiv out of me.

    Lesson two: Just because you're in the shadows doesn't mean guards can't hear and see you if you move.

    well spotted ole chap.

    unfortuantly, haveing beaten the game before, i am more than a bit aware of the mechanics of the game.

    i was just pointing out the difficulty of the game. it makes it tough to move about, at times it feels as though you are moving through the game wearing bells.
