I tried the demo of this game and didn't like it much at all. I wanted to like it but found it to be pretty boring and not so scary.

Hmm, I also got the demo, to check out what all the talk was about, and it just isn't my cup of tea.
Way too boring / slow paced, and I guess the scary bits are not in the demo ?

I highly think people should give the demo a try, before you run off buying it.

Evil Genius is 75% off. Is the game any good? It reminds me of Dungeon Keeper 2, which I like a lot.

Played the demo last night and while I think it did have decent atmosphere, I thought the controls were kind of clunky and I could not imagine playing it all the way through.

Maybe if it goes down to $4 or $5 I'll grab it.

I need to get back into this game. I could only ever play half hour at a time cus my heart couldn't take it and only played 2 hours of the game.

Lol yep, it was pretty stressful. That's one of the bad things for me as I do not think I could sit and play it for hours on end; I like to sit and play big chunks of games at one time, but Amnesia feels a bit too much for that.
