Alone in the Dark (Xbox 360)

Alone in the Dark is admittedly a creepy game. Your character wakes up, face-throbbing with no clue who he is or why he is being used as a punching bag. Next his captors are killed in what appears to be an excruciating manmer, seeing as we can only hear their screams, and well, the whole city is under attack from ... something? The unknown is what compels the player to continue with the game, mysterious clues from other characters hint at the protagonists destiny but he unfortunately has no clue. The game much like a good horror movie has its moments where it will make you jump. You can search an area, find no enemies and then as you hop into your car a ...  Read the complete review

Alone in the Dark is the 5th installment on the series for the Xbox 360. Originally it was set to be released along the 2005 film but was delayed because to be reworked from the ground up. Thank god because the movie really sucked and that would have given the game a bad reputation. Alone in the Dark may not be what it seems, but it sure as hell keeps you entertained until the end. You are Edward Carnby (who looks alot like Tommy from the Video Game Prey) looking for answers to strange supernatural and bizzare occurrences while fighting his way through New York city against demons and the city falling apart. Too bad there isn't a Radioshack in the game ...  Read the complete review

You play as Edward, a drunken man with an attitude and of course you've lost your memory. You awake in Manhattan, confused and dazed, but when the building you're in begins to crumble and the dead become undead, you're lack of memory is quickly put aside. From there the game is a quest for the truth, not only to discover what evil inhabits the city but for Edwards's identity. The overall story is intriguing and the dark settings of the city is beautiful to watch, especially once you reach Central park. Alone in the dark is a creepy game with moments of gore and areas of serious mystery throughout. The haunting story in this game is unlike any ...  Read the complete review

Alone in the Dark is Atari and Infrogrames apparent answer to their money losing issues of late. Despite the fact that I believe that Atari are one of the worst game creators ever (Driv3r, Bullet Witch and Taz Wanted convinced me this) I have had high hopes for this game. There are three things I have a fetish for-survival horror, adventure games and burning stuff and Alone in the Dark contains all three of these things. It was in the works for a good three years now and after several delays, including one from May to June of this year, Atari and Eden Games (creators of Test Driver Unlimited) have finally unleashed this horror beast unto the world. Is it a good game, or ...  Read the complete review

Alone in the Dark is a survival horror game which is the 5th in the series. It is a dark game, in which the main character struggles to survive in a torn apart New York City, try to regain his memories and find the cause of the supernatural happenings on his way. The game is most like the Resident Evil series. The gameplay heavily features customisation of your inventory, as players are encouraged to combine various items in order to create better weapons, tools of survival and ways to solve puzzles. This kind of gameplay has rarely been seen in other games, and is a great concept. The only draw back of this system is that the menu can sometimes be fiddly, ...  Read the complete review
