Zeno's Paradox
December 02, 2003 - Eternal Darkness

While I fill out a few recommendations to populate the section on the main page, I thought that I would make a note about Eternal Darkness. It's survival-horror on the Gamecube for those who like a good story. I've just finished up the first round through it (you need to play all colors to unlock the "true" ending), and I can say that I enjoyed it immensely. Initially, the sanity effects really creeped me out, though this wore off as I played the game. The rest of the game was great -- it had an engaging and intelligent story and the puzzles and environments were superb. One thing that I really liked about the game is that it does not get progressively harder as you play. The zombies do not power up or speed up, and once you learn how to slaughter a group of zombies, you can use that skill throughout the rest of the game. It's a welcome departure from the games where as you get to the end, it becomes increasingly impossible to get past certain levels. Eternal Darkness is good if you want to play a good game and are not all that interested in honing your twitch instincts.
