Alright you guys arent going to believe this but I think Monolith has finally made a game based on LithTech that is good. I got my hands on a copy of No One Lives Forever (recently gone gold) a few days ago and have been playing through it. Get this, its actually fun. A heck of a lot better than that tech demo. There are certainly issues like the collision code being bad (really bad) and some of the player models looking goofy, but damn it the game is fun. I cant believe it. I havent been able to put my finger on exactly why, but I really dont want to die in the game, the characters are just appealing. The entire game feels very polished, it will surprise you.

I know, 2 games I like in a row.. I must be getting old! Keep in mind the game may not appeal to a lot of readers here, its not much at all like Half-Life or Quake, but if you're a cornball give it a shot. You can also read a bit at Stomped , some shots at GameSpot and some footage on the official page.
