Are these games any good?  I've been wanting to play a shooter type game lately and am into the whole survival horror/urban exploration theme.

Theme is good, graphics too, controls are iffy, I played the first game and I liked it, but still left me kinda 'meh'

Caliga

What's wrong with the controls?

Not sure, it just felt hard to aim compared to other shooters, IIRC

Because they were (claiming to be) using real ballistics?

No, it was simply annoying, and it was not because the (quite lacking) need to count with trajectory.

Don't worry, Jaron is drunkposting again, drawing inspiration from Siege.

The only person I stalk around here is Ed, and that's only because I like to provoke the posting of random pictures of cats in mildly amusing poses.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I played through the first one in summer, it is really quite awesome.
I can't remember much in the way of control issues.
