Its a decent FPS with nice graphics. But gameplay is repetitive with nothing more complex than kill the next swarm of mobs that get thrown at you (and yet it completely lacks the humor of Serious Sam).

Does bring up the question though of why technology seems limited by certain forms. Why do PCs all have to be oatmeal boxes? Why do stereo components all come in black boxes?

As long as it can hold the circuitry, there's no reason for it to be a beige box. So, yeah, Apple's little gumdrops are rather too cute to stand near without an insulin shot, but at least they tried.
