Even if you've played both games and all the DLC, the 2033 update alone is worth your time.

The improved visuals have enriched this intoxicating world; Mechanical improvements bring parity across both games; A real FPS challenge; with modes to satisfy even the masochists

Despite the refit; there are still some polishing issues

A Dim Light

Some games are about people--their struggles, their hopes, their dreams, their powers. Other games are about systems and logic. Blocks fall from above and you maneuver them into place, you twist dials into the correct pattern, or you collect enough currency until you can afford a stronger helmet or...

Adjustments to visuals and interface make the included games seem like two halves of one whole; Fantastic atmosphere soothes the dread with droplets of violence and hope; Great pacing allows the chill to seep into you before action erupts; Weapons make you feel just potent enough to have a chance in...

More than just a coat of new paint.
