![]() The new British actor seems more like an imitation of a Bond villain. ![]() Austin Grossman was certainly no great actor in the original, but he did manage to give Diego a nice sense of being a corporate slimebag who got in way over his head. Some of the audio logs are okay but others are way over-acted. You sit at this desk, push a couple of buttons, and.it's done? The voice acting is a real mixed bag. Also, the "interactive" opening with the hacker meeting Diego comes across less like two morally questionable guys coming to a mutually beneficial agreement over a very delicate bit of high-level hacking and more like your grandpa asking you to come over and help him with his computer because he forgot how to order groceries online.

I haven't paid much attention to this, but I tried out the demo.
