Is Jericho good? I was always curious, but never did much to find out how good or bad it was. I like me my supernatural stories, and in all honesty in first person they tend to be more intense.

 

jericho is alright, u can alternate between 5 or 6 different characters while playing the game, each with they're own powers an stuff, kinda gory too which is good.

u can prolly get it for dirty cheap at gamestop or something these days.

 

hehe you too? I picked up Jerico due to Clive Barkers name as well..actually kinda liked it...but then im kinda of a sucker for classic horror type titles loved Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth though it seems no one else did. Wish Headfirst hadnt gone bankrupt making it

 

Sounds interesting.... but get it at gamestop? There's a limit to the type of terror I'm willing to deal with.

It amazes me that there aren't more games set in the Cthulhu universe. I really wish I could get into reading some books, but there's just so many and they are not exactly short either, but the mythos is awesome, dare I say more than greek mythology.

 

Actually they are pretty much all rather short. Most of the "novels" like Dunwich Horror, Dagon, Call of Cthulhu are actually collected works. HP Lovecraft wrote mostly short stories for the old pulp magazines like Weird Tales in the 1920's and 1930's. Some weird trivia...one his closest friends was Robert E Howard, the guy that created Conan the Barbarian. I think he is one of the most under-appreciated authors of his genre. Most people have never heard of him yet many of todays top horror and fantasy authors like Steven King, Clive Barker, Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore and Terry Pratchet have all cited him as a major influence. He even influenced Batman, Arkham Asylum was taken from the story The Thing On The Doorstep. Its kinda sad that when you mention Call of Cthulhu or Beyond the Wall of Sleep most people think of Metallica and Black Sabbath more than Lovecraft.

Anyway..enough of the english lit speech for today...just check him out sometime I bet you would like it.

oh before I forget...most of his stuff is in the public domain now, I think the gutenberg project has a few of them and nearly the entire collection has been digitized and can be found for free online.

 

Awesome grape thanks for the info. I might just download a few and carry them around on my phone and read up when I have some free time during the day.... hell this might be a good excuse to carry my psp around with me again.

PS. So should I start with Call of the Cthulhu and The Dunwich Horror? I was thinking of just reading them in the same order they appear on the gutemberg project's page since they don't seem to be organized alphabetically I'm assuming it's their recommended order.

 

I dont really think there is a real "order" to them, Call of Cthulhu I wouldnt really recommend as an introduction its pretty out there....I started with Dunwich Horror and Cool Air back when I was a teenager.

 

no its not

biggest...hmm...9.5 gigs isnt gonna be the biggest game nexy year

 

lool i hate gameripoff too, but for older cheap games it's not bad to go there.

 

Although I don't agree with you fully, I do agree! Halo was and is way too hyped up and after playing part 3 and ODST I really don't see why!? Halo just sucks!
