Pretty thorough review, though you kinda transition from cons to pros in some spots without being too clear about it. Other than that, it's a good review.

I don't see why games are coming out with such high price tags when they don't seem like top-tier games. Too many games have that low-budget feel, but still carry a high-budget price tag.

Keep em coming! Like how you factor price / quality.

Yes 60$ is serious cash, and any game that sells for that better be REALLY good and have a good play life expectancy.
example : TF2 10$ on Amazon... this game would have to be 6X better!

Not necessarily, because it'd be unreasonable to expect the quality to scale linearly with the price. It'd be impossible to create a game that'd be worth it's $60 price, given some of the cheaper games out there.

Friend of mine bought the game on the PC, it sucks just as bad. He went back to the store and demanding his money back at how bad the game sucked (they didn't give it back to him sadly...).
And there was nothing wrong with the xpacs of F.E.A.R., I enjoyed them, at least they were better than this worthless game.

I played the beta on the last day and I liked it. It was really cool. Dropping in turrets and stuff was really neat. But if I pay $50 bucks, I may not like it anymore. This happened to me with Frontlines :/
