PJ: "Sometimes, something comes along that has a familiar feel to it, something that harkens way back to a half forgotten snapshot of history that we all thought would never come again. The kind of thing that attempts to merge modern ideals with concepts that have long since been abandoned, attempting to craft an unholy union of perfection that nobody thought possible.

CapnMikeM and MAINEac17 kick off August with a new episode of the Gamers In Beta podcast.

"Betrayer is not a game that you would expect from the people who helped to create the F.E.A.R. series, but it does just enough right to make you think that they could be on the right path. Perhaps, with a little more refinement to its core systems, a sequel to Betrayer could be something rather special. As it is though, Betrayer is a gorgeous game with plenty of atmosphere – but also a lot of frustration."
