'What's in the box?'

Very cool. Cinema meets FPS shooter, embraces its tropes, and takes the whole Cloverfield POV/camcorder thing to another level. Makes me want to play through HalfLife 2 again.

It's quite strange/interesting to see the HUD used in film, from a semiotics point of view: we're used to seeing such a barrage of condensed information in videogames but in this context it's something relatively new I think.
