Well done, If not a bit late. I've already gotten everything in SC. This'll be extremely useful for new comers though.

The only thing I had a hard time finding was a passkey that you had to jump over the rack, into the water, and swim right. The map said I already had something in that room, I don't know if it was wrong or not.

The game already tells where all the stuff is, but I guess it could be helpful for a couple of the tricky ones... still though, I don't think its entirely necessary

Yay! I'm so glad SC is getting the attention it deserves, I would definitely use this guide if I hadn't already beaten the game twice and gotten all achievements haha

Does anybody know the name of the armor/helmet that is shown in the main picture for this article (the picture next to the article name on the features page)?

Had to play through it twice, but I managed to beat it with 100%!

This on a game I got for free, from the Talk Radar podcast?

Thanks, Brett & Joe!
