nope, but I'd put my money on it being good since Way Forward made it.

that's how I've been with Bloodrayne Betrayal. I don't know why $5 makes a difference, but had it come out at $10 I would have bought it right away.

Bloodrayne Betrayal was interesting to me until it got absolutely slammed in reviews. The new Alien game, on the other hand, has been positively received.

the reviews don't bother me much. I like the Bloodrayne character. I like Wayforward. Besides, the first two Bloodrayne games got terrible reviews too. And I feel like most of the negative reviews I read of Betrayal were complaining about how hard it was.

Same here. I've had it in my hand several times, then look at the $30 and put it back. I will get it eventually though.

I really enjoy it too. But that doesn't mean it's not a completely bad game. The graphics are very impressive and my favorite genre (2D platformer) but it is such a piece of shit to actually play, employing the "throw a bunch of shit at the player" philosophy, which just makes it akin to Home Improvement with '94ish contemporary graphics.
Yeah, you know, I hear you on this. Every other level is a completely different play style, practically. I like it that way, but it does feel cobbled together. And I remember feeling that parts of Sid's Room were totally unfair. Anyway. :)

-Spider-Man: The Movie (PS2, XBox, Gamecube)
-Batman (NES)
-Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (SNES, Genesis)
-Die Hard Trilogy (Saturn, PSX)
-007: Goldeneye (N64)

5 Worst Movie-Based Games:
-E.T. (Atari 2600, and yes I have actually played, I own it)
-Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game (Saturn)
-Friday the 13th (NES)
-Conan (NES)
-The Karate Kid (NES)

And I enjoyed Iron Man. I just don't get the hate for that game. You fly around and shoot things with lasers, missiles, and even a flame thrower; and then watch them blow up. What's not to love about that?
So I posted this, but the forum doesn't think I did, no little dot on the thread to indicate as such to me. Not important to me personally or anything, but I thought I'd point it out in case it's a bug that should be fixed or something.
