Hey y’all! I just heard about this new game and I wanna know what you all think about it. It’s called “The Thing” and it’s from that John Carpenter movie. I dunno if you watched the movie, but it looks hellah fun. It looks scary, like Resident Evil with more twists I guess. The movie was actually really good and I am curious to see what the deal is. It’s not multiplayer or anything, but it looks really cool. Check out the site and let me know what ya think. HTTP://ULTIMATETHINGFAN.TRIPOD.COM

The thing looks very impressive there was a preview of it on TV today.

Is it an Xbox exclusive?

can't wait to check this game out, trust plays a HUGE part in this game, i think it'll only be great the first or second time through, since when you finish it first then you would already know the twists.

I was excited for this game when I saw the preview video on the first preview issue of OXM. So excited in fact, that I got the movie that the game is based after. I'm a lot less excited for the game now though. It still seems like it will kick the asses of Silent Hill and Resident Evil, but it looks like it has the same control scheme and the same graphics.
Otherwise, bring it on!

Well, coincidentally, I just rented that movie today. I agree this game could be a blockbuster, but kicking the crap outta Resident Evil? No way in hell. This game is slightly different anyway. I think there will be a set camera view, (speculating from screenshots) which wil take away from the suspense.
