I think, you should specify that this is the inferior Xbox 360 version (as opposed to PC).

Xbox 360 is clearly mentioned in title. And it is hardly inferior. The 360 version received higher ratings than the PC version on Gamerankings [gamerankings.com] AND on Metacritic. [metacritic.com]

This deal should be front page!

I need to stop buying games at a $20 price point. It's amazing how cheap some 360 games get... I love it. Never will I pay full price for anything.

This product has reached the end of its established life cycle hence it is discontinued by the Manufacturer.

though I have it already so it doesn't matter to me
I hope it works though since it has reached the end of it's life cycle

She edited the title after I posted that.

And the console version IS inferior (lower resolution textures, gamepad controls as opposed to the superior kb+mouse combo on PCs, etc).

Looks like they have them back in stock. Great game!

man....i bought thi a few weeks ago at $14, argh!

Great price on a decent enough game.

Be aware that the game tries to hide it's exceptionally long load times by making you ride an elevator between levels while the game loads. Given how often this happens and how easy the rest of the game is (do some side quests and you'll be super-rich), and you'll see why I think this game is less of a FPS or RPG and more of an elevator sim.

Dude stop ragging on the 360 version. Regardless of what system it's on, this is one of the best games I have ever played.

You forgot the lack of DRM spyware the 360 version has

Although maybe you stole the PC version and don't have to worry about that, which is probably half your reason for posting. You can't pirate a console game without modifying your console. For a great game at $12 that's pretty much the only reason I could imagine you'd want to flame it (unless you're a PS3 fanboy, which you don't seem to be).

I don't quite understand why there're so many posts on SD from people bragging about pirating games/media.

Does the character stand with its arms crossed, staring at the numbers above the door, while carefully avoiding eye contact with others, trying to breathe as quietly as possible?
