Well the cyborgs are pretty much just like the mutant humans, accept that they're faster and tougher, so you deal with them in pretty much the same way. With the grenades, well they work rather like jim's golf game, you hear a rising tone and the higher it is, the further you will chuck them. The problem is if they hit a wall and rebound they'll hit you and kill you instantly, so you need to be careful. Generally I only use the grenades when for example I'm in a very long corridor. Actually it's one of the rather fun ways to deal with those gelatinus blobs and cyborgs on stage two where the toilet is, get them to chase you up that long passage then turn round and chuck them a grenade :D. beware the grue!

Are you waiting for a complete firing solution on the creatures? That is waiting until you get the correct blip sound, rather than the higher pitched bleeps which indicate your closer but not quite there yet. Personally what I do with combat, when I've got creatures coming at me who need to be close to attack is back up and side step so that I increase the distance they need to travel to get me, then quickly turn and blast them. For creatures who can attack at a distance and are mostly stationary I tend to try and get into an optimal firing position outside of where they can hit me if I can. Usually i don't shoot until I have a firing solution on a creature so that I can be sure not to waste too much amo.
