I'm intersted to hear what yall think of the Tomb Raiderish platforming aspects. Are they well implemented? Also some of the footage I've seen made me think that this game is Melee intensive. I've wondered if the devs giving the demo were just over emphasising that aspect for coolness factor. Can you play it as a pure shooter? Wish I knew someone with a PS3 I'd like to give this one a spin. Looks pretty stellar.

As to HL2 the grenade thing is quite common with Combine Zombies. Does no one rember Goldeneye some of the coolest reactions to being shot ever.

Nah, it's not really that melee intensive, but you can use it at a close range. The combat feels like the Def Jam: Icon demo where doing combos requires you to press buttons in a certain pattern as opposed to just jamming on it. It makes it interesting, but I wouldn't recommend rushing and melee attacking a guy unless you're doing it in an area that is covered from other enemies because you can die pretty quick if you're in the open. 

I don't know about the old school Tomb Raiders, but Uncharted feels like Tomb Raider: Anniversairy (which I believe is similar to Legend). There wasn't a whole lot of jumping around like that though, save for one or two areas, I would like to see how well they've done in the areas where you have to get really high up though.

By the way, the Combine Zombies are called Zombines! Has nobody else found Alyx's humor funny?
