Blood. Runs. Cold.
Mankind is fighting for survival on EDN III. As well as the extreme conditions on the icy planet, the colonisers have encountered a deadly new alien enemy - the Akrid. Emerging from the frozen wastelands, these heat-seeking monsters seem impervious to human weapons. They quickly devastate the human outposts, the survivors fleeing to the safety of space.
The remaining hardened warriors form small groups, snow pirate clans - either determined to find a way of fighting the Akrid scourge, or of plundering the ruins. In one of those groups, Wayne Holden and his father fight a desperate battle against the largest Akrid, the mythical Green Eye. Wayne sees his father die, before he too is encased in the icy blast of Green Eye's attack.
Left for dead, Wayne is found nearly frozen by a snow pirate clan. Wayne's memory is gone, all he can remember is facing Green Eye before the ice closed in. One of his father's inventions, locked to his arm, has saved him.
Uniquely, it allows Wayne to heal himself using the energy from Akrid bodies. Back from the ice and hungry for revenge, alongside his new companions, Wayne must hunt for Green Eye, fight for survival and save a lost planet on the edge of extinction.
The first truly next-generation action game - Lost Planet: Extreme Condition takes the PC to a deadly world of extreme conditions, epic storytelling and all-out combat.

Good arcade game

Very nice game with great graphics and sound (really "next gen") without any glitches or slow downs (at least on my sistem: E6300 + Ati hd3850 + 2gb DDR2).
This is a 100% arcade game so you'll have to first shoot and then ask questions, but it is anyway a lot of fun.
The story is not bad (nothing more, nothing less), with a lot of cinematic sequences.
The downsides are that (in my opinion) the protagonist runs a bit slowly (but this may be due to simulating the weight of your suit) and that you cannot sell the game once completed because it requires steam activation and so the cd-key will be locked forever on your account.
Another thing to keep in mind is that if you want to play on-line it is much better to buy the new "colonies edition" with windows live support because in this old one you wont find any open server.
Steam gets in the way

An Ok game which runs on my 8600gt quite well. But you have to go through Steam to play, which means that the game will be tied to your Steam account. So when you complete the game or just give up on it, the second hand value of it isnt going to be much as the seial key is registered in your name and Steam account. Which is useless to someone else. Plus before being allowed to play the game it has to do a very large download from the steam site which takes a long time. To be honest no game is worth all the effect required just to play it.
Superb
