We're still talking Nintendo at the moment (I told you the 'Cube was becoming my favourite Console of the lot), but this time the update is on a Game that's actually not on my Now Playing list...

*Spoilers*

Eternal Darkness - Sanity's Requiem

I'm sorry, Tinoshke. I haven't exactly been playing this one a lot, but on the rare occasion I've picked up my Wavebird with the Eternal Darkness disk in the 'Cube, I've made a bit of progress. You may call me names now, but in my defence, I've only played it whilst at my Sister's place. I've made a bit of progress in this sanity-bending game over the past couple of months, although I'm not sure how far I am through the game at this point.

For those of you unfamiliar with the Game, it's a Horror game, based (in part) of the Cthulhu Mythos created by the great H.P. Lovecraft himself. You play Alex Roivas (let's read that last name backwards, shall we? :P), who is investigating the death of her Grandfather under mysterious circumstances in the family Mansion. I won't go into too much detail here, as I'll save that for the Review that I eventually write on the Game. Needless to say there's a solid story to the game, which is played out in various chapters.

Currently, I've spent a bit of time fighting the minions of the Ancient Ulyaoth, and am some way into the game. I've already managed to play a variety of characters from different time periods, varying from intrepid Archaeologists, to Franciscan Monks, to Roman Centurions, to Venetian Architects. In each period, I've managed to fight off the various evil beasties serving the Ancients, and in most cases die a horrible death at the end of the Chapter. What fun, eh?

At this time, I'm playing a Venetian Architect exploring some ancient (but somehow strangely familiar) ruins in the Middle East. I've discovered a whole bunch of interesting Spells, and having been working on mapping them from the 3 Point Circle of Power to the newly discovered 5 Point Circle. Basically, I'm trying to make each spell more powerful than it already is. Not all that difficult, but taking me a small amount of time just the same.

I'm not sure how many chapters there are to the Game, but given the times suggest in most Reader's Reviews, I'm about half way through the game at the 7 hour mark. Once I get into playing this one properly (as in, when I complete Metroid Prime), I'll post another update. Feel free to start playing this one at any time, Tinoshke - it'll give you a bit of a break from the Azeroth Plague. :P

And yet still there's more! Part 4 to come... :)
