Its got the oh so loved securerom, but the reqs don't seem too demanding at all.

I heard this game is not very good. I rather enjoyed Alone In The Dark: The New Nightmare as well as the original AITD game.

The premise seems good, but the gameplay seems like it might be a bit bizarre.

Its situations like this I really think about getting a console and the ability to rent a game, just in case it rivals watching a loved one being autopsied in terms of fun.

i'm really excited about this game.

just heard about it a few weeks ago. i'm a huge lovecraft fan and i've been playing the series since the original on my 386 back in the day. really really REALLY hope this doesn't suck.

Wow the 360 version got a bad review at IGN http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/883/883633p1.html .

3.5 seems horrific, lol....the SecureROM looks to be the last thing on the list not to buy this garbage.

I am diggin it on 360, granted its not ground breaking but there are some EXCELLENT puzzles and some INSANELY COOL levels. A building escape and chase scene come to mind. Im about halfway through.

I got Battlefield Bad Company at the same time and havent touched it much at all (played 3 levels thought it sucked) and it got an 8.5. Funny how subjective review are.

If I had to give it a rating I would say 7/10 at least. (and I am not on Ataris payroll, but shame on them for this review shenanigans)

Man, I've been waiting so much for this game. I had high hopes, but 3,5.....it means that is just unplayable.

I don't suppose they bothered putting out a demo, did they?

Thats true, sometimes reviews aren't that enlightening for certain tastes....for example I *HATED* the incredibles movie....thats the only movie I've ever left before the ending it was so bad in my opinion, yet I think it got decent reviews.

So did anyone take the plunge on the PC version. Seems it's vitrually unplayable to some people.
