One of my favourite games on the cube. I played it through start to finish three times, once on each path, and I did it in less than two weeks: phenomenal for a frog and the kind of intensive play only a limited handful of excellent games receive. I remember most of the plot now and stand-out moments, four years later. That’s how good it was.

The voice acting in this game is some of the best I have heard. The storyline is above the standard; each chapter makes you feel attached to your character, and the end of each chapter is quite bruising to the emotions. Don’t let the survival horror tag fool you; this isn’t resident evil, this is Lovecraft. This isn’t zombies and shocks to scare, it’s psychological and well built. This game single-handedly disproves all those who say the gamecube only had kiddy games on it; it’s mature in the true meaning of the word.


Ah, the nostalgia. With games like Eternal Darkness, Luigi's Mansion, Smash Brothers, Monkey Ball and Rogue Leader around so early in its life the gamecube looked to have a bright destiny ahead of it. Those first months with my brand new gamecube were some of the best gaming times I've had, full stop.
