The Haunted: Hells Reach

Hi guys, just wanted to let you know that The Haunted: Hells Reach is priced fucking good in Europe (9,99€) and higher everywhere else (14€ in US and 11,5€ in UK). It's basically something similar to Killing Floor but harder and in 3rd person view. Now go kill some demons!
