Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare (PS) ... series that created the survival-horror genre, Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare doesn't quite live up to its legacy, as it more often than not resembles a shoddy knockoff of the franchise that has since defined the genre, Resident Evil. You can play The New Nightmare as either Edward Carnby, a paranormal private investigator and poster boy for the series, or Aline Cedrac, a college professor and requisite video game babe. As in Resident Evil 2, the protagonists cross paths but have separate adventures within the main story, which, in this case, involves evil supernatural forces at work on the appropriately (but unimaginatively) named Shadow Island.

... if it wasn't for the incredibly tight amount of saves available to the player - no more than four or five in the first few hours of play. So as there are no real indicators (to keep the suspense, I expect) as to where boss-battles will occur, you will either save too frequently and simply run out of saves, or walk unwittingly into a boss and run the risk of being killed an not having saved in rec ent times. This problem could hav...more

It's 2001 and PlayStation2 has been out for a few months but is being completely over-shadowed by its older and less-powerful predecessor. The reasons? Final Fantasy IX has made its triumphant UK apperance, the new PSOne model is proving a runaway success and the fourth Alone In The Dark (AITD4) game creeps out from the shadows amidst a massive amount of expectation.

Alone in the Dark the New Nightmare is apparantly the latest in a set, as of yet i've been unable to find others so if anyone has an info please let me know. The game starts by showing you a brief video type play showing how Carnby gets involved.

I as you may have guessed have chosen to be Aileen, who does seem to be a lot easier than Carnby. Aileen starts off with no weapons except a torch and a walkie talkie. Weapons ...
