I played the demo and it seemed moderately cool....a little too dark for my poor eyes though. How do you enjoy it? Good gameplay and such so far?

One of the best single player games I have ever played. You can turn the brightness up.

In game or artifically (monitor)? I only ask because I know trying to overdue it on the monitor will make everything whitish, I was wondering if the same happens with the in-game controls.

I tried it on my work machine, so I didn't get a great feel for it, but I liked the environment (in the lit areas) and the gameplay seemed novel.

You can do it either way. I generally use game settings since they each have their own brightness.

I think the environment might make for some good online action as well.
