Hey, I can't believe it, two in such a short space of time! First Tomb Raider, and now Run Like Hell, two games that have been "near release" for about two years, and now not only is TR here, but Run Like Hell is down for a friday release. Unexpected!

Haven't seen a review yet, which could be a bad sign, as they may be wanting people to buy it before they read bad things. After so long in development, a lot of intial excitement has worn off, but if the reviews are good, this could be worth a look. Anybody else know anything?

Eternal Darkness sucks more than Spider-man's hands.

I didn't know what to expect from Eternal Darkness and I was pleasantly surprised at what a fantastic game it really was/is. Some of the effects were hilarious but at the same time quite disturbing. The one where you go save the game and your save file disappears. I was thinking "sheet you have to be taking the peece" only to realise that it was an effect and my save returned about 10 seconds after.

Original, disturbing, fantastic story and voice acting (narrated by David Hayter the voice of Solid Snake) and quite a lengthy game. One of the best I have played so far this year.

Good grief! We agree on something!

Eternal Darkness was brilliant - the hallucination effects are great; I particularly like the stone bust in one of the corridors which turns and looks at you when scared.

Run Like Hell is a shame - it was looking SO good in its early stages, but it got some dodgy previews a while ago; I lost interest in it and haven't been following it for months. Seems I didn't miss much.

Why have such low levels of gaming? The Thing is pretty short and overall its not worth £40. I stick with Resident Evil games but I was very impressed with the fantastic Eternal Darkness. Why settle for someting very sub par?

Overall opinion of both reviews: Feels rushed

I might just stick with The Thing instead for now.
