I really enjoyed the first Suffering game and was happy anough to pick up the sequel.

Like films, the sequel isn't as good as the original but Ties That Bind is just as great as the first!

I've always been a big fan of 3rd person shooters (Max Payne and Tomb Raider games) and these two fall into my favorite.

It's as graphic, intense and violent as any survival horror game should be; plus you can play it in first person mode as well.

It's very well designed in terms of the vulgar creatures, Baltimore looks like the pit of hell and the character movements looks terrific.

The voice acting is great (Rachael Griffiths, MC Duncan) and the story is "fleshed" out. Although the "twist" at the end wasn't much of a surprise though.

Great arsenal of weaponry. The only problem I had with the thrown weapons was (like most games) that Torque would always throw with his right: Right into a wall instead of around it.

The controls are standard and don't cause any issues except for an annoying camera angle here and there.

Music is creepy and cool as well as the freaky sound effects.

The occasional drawback to this game was that sometimes some characters would take more damage than their clones as well as the AI not being so smart at times.

Aspects of the story were a tad confusing. Perhaps I don't recall the first game's story well enough so I'm missing some key plot points because of that.

Overall it's a well thought out game and I recommend it to all you "playas" (game reference) that enjoy blowing Stan Winston created characters into juicy pulp!

"...and this is my BOOM STICK!"

Pathologic

In the depths of the Ancient Steppe appeared a weird town. Once a small drover settlement scattered around the monstrous Abattoir, it unexpectedly developed into a mysterious, isolated establishment with an odd social structure. This odd society has managed to survive for several generations. It could have continued to aspire, were it not for a sudden outbreak of some enigmatic, lethal and inescapable disease, which beginsto mercilessly slaughter the denizens inhabiting the area. Even science has proven helpless in finding a cure, or at least providing some explanation. ...Three outsiders arrive in the contaminated town. The first was a highly-educated Bachelor with a ruthless manner of investigation, assigned by the provincial authorities. The second one is a far-sighted Ripper with a reputation of an ingenious surgeon, in search of his father's terrible heritage. The last character is an eccentric girl, possessing mystic healing abilities, that could become the town's heavenly salvation were it not for the constant fear in her dejected eyes and fresh memory of the horrors of her recent past... Each of them must survive in this hell and play a vital role in the fate of the doomed town... One of them could be you. The show is about to begin.
