I dont want links, just confirmation that it exists, and opinions if you have played it.

It has been out for the PC for some time now... havent played it yet, but when I get the time will get you deets on it, lol...
Neverwinternight has kept me occupied for some time now, not forgetting the RTCW, lol...
But heres some info on the Thing :
Sounds like fun :)Quote:
After the enigmatic deaths of an American scientific expedition in the
uncharted and frozen wastelands of the Antarctic, a military rescue team is
sent to investigate their deaths. Within these inhospitable surroundings the
team encounters a strange shape-shifting alien life-form that assumes the
appearance of people that it kills.
The Thing brings fear and suspense to unimaginable levels, with a compelling
plot and unique gameplay elements based upon action, evasion, trust and fear.
Forget everything you ever learned about obliterating alien species simply
with a barrage of violent ammunition - this monster is difficult to see,
hard to kill, and seemingly impossible to evade.
And when you actually see it, it's often too late...
- Taking place shortly after the events seen in the 1982 film - The Thing
takes us back to the Antarctic base and familiar locals from the film for
a terrifying, new chapter of isolation and paranoia.
- Advanced trust/fear interface adds a new dimension to the genre - How you
influence non-player characters (NPCs) psychological state determines
whether or not these characters will cooperate with you. Amazing lighting,
weather and particle effects complemented by subtle sound cues and scripted
events create a new level of suspense and terror.
- Unique combat system that allows weapons to be customized and scratch built
in many cases.
- Puzzle Solving can be accomplished by a multitude of scenarios - there is
never just one way to accomplish an objective.
- Varied pace of gameplay throughout the game, blending action, puzzles,
horror and human interaction.
