Pre-Order Odium

Pre-Order Odium is getting the pre-order push, complete with the usual late-90s bait: bonus goods, special offers and enough retail noise to make the box feel bigger.

Pre-Order Odium is getting the pre-order push, complete with the usual late-90s bait: bonus goods, special offers and enough retail noise to make the box feel bigger.

The useful part: In Odium you will command an elite squad of soldiers, lead by Lieutenant Cole Sullivan, on a reconnaissance mission to the abandoned city of Korov. Rumors have circulated that bizarre monstrosities, hybrid creatures with features that combine human, mechanical, and insect attributes, populate the city. Our operatives inside the city assured us that these rumors are completely false and that an unknown terrorist group is using this story as a cover for their operations. File it under the usual 1999 PC pile: interesting, crowded, and probably fighting five other releases for attention.
