I actually own Project Pitchfork's Eon:Eon and am a huge Funker Vogt fan. Not so much into Combichrist but I used to like them quite a bit when I was a teenager. |

Has anyone played this game?
I've seen previews for it and listened to part of the soundtrack. It looks really good. Apparently there's a sequel coming out soon too. |
