I have a love-hate thing with scary games. I’m currently playing, for the first time, The Shalebridge Cradle (yes, _that_ level) in Thief Deadly Shadows. I played for all of 15 mins last night before I had to quit. Decided to play at lunchtime today – how scared can be at lunchtime in a sunny room? Just about managed half an hour. Jesus, hope this level isn’t too long.

Yeah it definately looks like it might go that way. Chances are it’ll have depth, but the gameplay won’t be instantly accessible enough to be really fun or entertaining. I imagine gamers will split into those who couldn’t (or didn’t) get past the initial gameplay, and those who stuck with it and got some enjoyment out of it. Basically the Pathologic syndrome. We’ll see.

Broken and stiff. That’s what the reviews will say about this one when it’s released. Too bad…

I’m hoping for a more mellow soundtrack to the game, to create a contrast with the horror parts.

Eden should have stayed to the racing genre. Test Drive Unlimited was really good, but this is looking terrible. The faces are so stiff and ugly wrinkled, I cant look at them, sorry…

Atari hmm?
Now there is reason to hope they will give the game the time it needs…

Everyone looks fairly wooden in the trailer. I am constantly surprised by how much better Valve are at facial animation than many other companies… However, maybe I shouldn’t be surprised. They are gods.

If they actually had the “tone” of the trailer in the game, I’d probably buy it just on principle. However, likely that song has absolutely nothing to do w/ the game…

I liked the look of it, and seeing how June is a pretty empty month on the release schedules I’ll probably be picking this up. (and then subsequently hiding behind the sofa whilst I get someone else to play it for me)

That looked very Resident Evil. Which is kind of too bad.

That picture actually makes me want to see a Death Wish movie; something I never thought I’d hear myself say…

The only pure scary stuff in yonder trailer was the “being sucked into/ peeling out of” ceiling/ floor stuff. That’s almost twisted enough to be in Silent Hill. And yeah the guitar/ pop stuff was a little too Silent Hill :/ don’t like the unoriginality there.

The driving segments were shown in a gameplay video that’s kicking around, and it honestly looked good and cinematic. They said something about it being based on Test Drive: Unlimited’s driving engine- which is no bad thing, especially in conjunction with NYC falling apart around you. It’s hardly GTA style.
