Hey there, Hussassan! Sorry it's taken so long for any of us to come around commenting.

Really, I quite like this one. The one thing I would like to see added, though, is a little bit more on who might like to play this game -- are their other games it's similar to? Is it one of those games that people like me who are uncoordinated shouldn't even bother with? Or is it one that focuses more on wits than on pressing 8 different button simultaneously really quickly?

Games it's /Similar/ to: Resident Evil, Silent Hill but it tends to stand on its own as it plays on mental fears ratherthan just zombies.


You could mention that this is the first of only two Silicon Knights games (the other Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes) exclusive to the Gamecube since both companies have parted ways.

Might I suggest putting the Poe quoite on seperate lines in a BLOCKQUOTE or paragraph instead of having ///s?

And it would be helpfulto show the UK price and/or US price for those of us who aren't in the Euro currency

Oh and Alone in the Dark for games which it's similar to...

And you could mention Ms. Rovias' cameo in the Twin Snakes in the 'books' item along with other Eternal Darkness-centric pieces...


The fighting systemis a bit different in that you can target either head, body, both arms and legs...

OK, I'll update it next time I get online.

It's been updated. Cold someone give be a bit of info on Alone in the Dark?

Hi there! How's this going?

Very well, thank you...

I guess my main 2 comments at this point would be that:

* Like I said in post #2 above, I still don't know from this entry whether this is a game I could play or not. There are some games like this that require a lot more button-pushing skills than others, some require a lot more persistence and puzzle solving, and some are relatively easy at the beginning, etc. The comparisons to the other games are nice, but they are more about the topic and graphics than about gameplay style.

* I also think this entry could really benefit from some external links -- there are all sorts of excellent online resources for just about every game on the market, it would be great to link to some of the better ones, as well as some that show some good screen captures so people can see what the graphics are like.

Also, I've noticed that the GuideML formatting you've used uses a lot of -- these don't fall under the category of the "approved" GuideML we use for Edited Guide entries, so I'm afraid you're going to have to do some reformatting, either using or bulleted lists. Let me know if you have any questions on how to do that!

Fortunatey, I have quite recently figured out the item list system after over a year of mystery, so no problems there. Why isn't approved?

Th gameplay is mainly about puzzle solving, but the puzzles are for the most part prettly logical. The real focus is on the story.

I'll look for some external links and let you know when I find them.

How's it going with searching out the links?

Using isn't approved because we use instead.

I'll second that


My DBZ entry was a BRama

sorry, college got in the way. I have linked an online review and FAQ, plus eliminuated all BRs

This is entry is looking good. Is it finished, do we think?

One early mistake I noticed:

"however, it late got delayed" -> "however, it was delayed"

Ahem.

Sorry I missed that, wasn't online much three weeks ago and fell behind.

That word has been corrected (it was supposed to be 'later'), any other mistakes.

Looking much better.

The only thing I would suggest is trying to incorporate those links into the text somehow, rather than just listing them at the end.
