The game looks interesting, if I had the money I'd check it out (if this computer can run it), but this is the first ZP I didn't even crack a smile to. Oh well, I'm sure next week will get me.

Edit: Nope, can't run it anyway.

I love this game, none other has made me run at the first sight of an enemy and cower behind a table in the corner of a room for a few minutes hoping they go away.(in the game, not real life).

Which game pretends to erase your save files? Penumbra?
Now this reference I did not really get. I played Overture, Black Plague and Requiem (I regret the latter) and I can't recall it, but it was a while ago.. Maybe Yahtzee was just going crazy from Amnesia?

Not to be a jerk, but to the best of my knowledge, when Nintendo released Eternal Darkness, they copyrighted the use of a sanity meter mechanic in a video game. I'm wondering how it works in this game, and also if Frictional Games are going to end up getting sued.

Here's hoping not. The DMCA is already enough of a stain on software production. We don't need any more EA/ESPN borsefeathers stunts hampering creativity.

And I got really angre first time I played Eternal Darkness and screen went black and told you your save files were corrupt and started deleting, geez I was angry...and felt quite dumb when the screen returned to normal and I had just thrown the GC controller in the couch...
That sanity effect honestly scared me more than the horror in the game. Seeing it the first time made me go...insane, thinking that my GameCube was somehow being hacked from somewhere and that they could see what I was doing through my TV.

OT: Funny review, game definitely might be worth a look or two.

Eternal Darkness, the awesome game that could've been a great series had the developer not gone crazy and make Too Human.

What do you think is the line between "independent" and "Mainstream?"

Take for example Minecraft, a game that is basically Legos of an entire world that is addictive as crack being sold for 14 bucks online is now making 350,000 dollars a day since a person is downloading it every 3 seconds.

I'm not even going to try and dig that up, but the idea just seems silly to me. Woo, copyrighting stuff!

Damn you Yahtzee. I was all nice and content trying to forget this game existed until I had money to spend again, and here you come along actually praising what I viewed as the finest looking horror game I've seen in years! I STILL DON'T HAVE MONEY TO SPEND! It's in my head...calling me....

Laughed your boobs off?

A friend of mine has been bugging me to play this, I think I might. I didn't do Penumbra because it had spiders.
Wut? You didn't play a scary game because you thought something in it was scary? :)

(btw... bugging you to play it - spiders - Ar ar ar.)

So sick of hearing about this game, mainly because I don't have a PC to play it on and I want to play it badly.

I don't enjoy horror games.

I'm not a big fan of being scared. Or the other forms of horror, gore.
