Info about the game from Wikipedia.

The game's main character is a man named Hayden Tenno, a morally ambivalent clean-up man employed by the CIA. He suffers from a real-life disease called congenital analgia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_insensitivity_to_pain) that does not allow him to feel pain. On a mission in a fictional former eastern bloc nation, he is exposed to a biological compound which mutates him, dramatically changing his right arm, and giving him the ability to spontaneously grow a three-bladed throwable weapon called a glaive (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaive#Other_uses). As explained in Game Informer Magazine, the glaive is a part of his body, can be used to generate light, and can be controlled remotely by the player.
During the course of the game, Hayden encounters others that have been similarly mutated by the compound. However, the mutation process is painful to the point that its victims go mad. Hayden's congenital analgia inadvertently protects him from this aspect of the mutation.

The 1up Show did a podcast section about it. What they had to say was
1. Not better than Gears of War Because no Co-op
2. Originality farther into the game, but not a lot of flow (like running up to a wall and jumping over in the same move, its harder in this game than GoW)
3. If you liked GoW, youll like this game too

Overall they said it was a good game, but not better than Gears of War
Personally, it looks really kick-ass, and I think it would be a good game and worth the money.

Yeah, I've heard those things too.
I'm going to buy it, mostly because I like shooters and well I need a new game to play. :p
