Hey guys!

We're watching SOMA closely as it nears tomorrow's release - and I just wanted to pop in and let you know how great of a game it's looking to be.

One of our own number has played it, and he loved it - he calls it a "mature, hard sci-fi horror" and almost jumped off his seat when he saw the various ratings and scores. :D

Metacritic: 87/100 (link)
Destructoid: 9/10 (link)
IGN: 8.1/10 (link)
Eurogamer: Recommended (link)
Gamespot: 9/10 (link)

Tell us if you're excited for this one and what appeals most to you!

If you don't trust those reviews I am pretty sure you'll trust mine :)

I have just finished SOMA and for me it's one of the best games ever made in terms of storytelling and maturity of its subject matter. And you don't even have to be a huge fan of horror games to enjoy it (I'm not). It's a hard sci-fi story that is more or less on par with novels by Phillip K. Dick or movies by David Cronenberg. It's scary as hell but it's intellectually challenging at the same time.

[ totally not getting a sales bonus for that :) ]
