the game informer article said there was a lot of puzzle solving-- that's how the whole game progresses...
and of course the early gameplay videos are only going to show the bludgeoning. If they only showed puzzle solving, all the fps fans would lose interest immediately

I hope youre right.
But for all the games I have on my list to buy, the ones that are still in the "possibly" column have to impress me big time, and the early footage I saw not only didnt do that, it bored me to death.
I cant imagine anyone wanting to beat things all day and night. If they liked what they saw and dont care about any other possibilities, gamers really are becoming shallow
puzzles, goosebumps, good graphics, good music, decent weapons(not a pipe), and Im there.
I hope it turns out good, you can all give a review, and it'll just be another reason the 360 rocks
