So, I've Answered The Call Of Cthulhu.

I guess I owe minmme a thanks...I actually got up and popped in the game :D. Just as great as it was when I played it on the Xbox, although it's got its share of annoyances to make you feel artificially feeble (see that shotgun next to the dead body? Too bad! Or better yet, no sprint button...and worse, when you get hit by someone, you have a set amount of time to heal yourself before you die...yeah, a scratch on the arm is so critical that I'm forced to heal myself or I start to slow down, lose my vision, and eventually have to start over...even if I'm being chased by something :|). Other than that, great lore to the Cthulhu storyline. Oh, and I must confess, this will take me some time to beat...by no means am I dragging my feet, because I forgot a good chunk of the game and I'm more than happy to experience it again...no, I just said "hello" to one of the game's infamous game-breaking glitches :|. I'm on chapter 2, about to near the end of the level...turns out, everytime I so much as touch the door I need to open to escape...it crashes to desktop :x. And of course, I'm relying on a single save...so I'll have to start over from the beginning, and hope the bug isn't there this time :|. I'd hate to say, but if you want to experience this game yourself, get the Xbox version. I seriously don't remember any of this happening when I played it all those years back...or if you want to tough it out on PC, make sure you've got a couple other saves to fall back on (or you could use the un-official patch, but unless you know the insides and outs of your computer, you'll be in the dark...I mean, I've used my share of DIY patches before, but this one's confusing as hell :?). Anyway, I just un-installed the game and about to re-install it, hoping that fixes some of the bugs (which I've read on the forums, hopefully that works...I really don't like playing this kind of game from the beginning, especially since the suprises won't quite shock me like before :P).
