After hearing some raves about it, I did a little digging through some Eternal Darkness reviews. I have one simple response to the Insanity Meter/Effects: I _must_ get my hands on this game. This makes the Silent Hill games seem like Shining Time Station.

It's a pity that there's really nothing else for the 'Cube (yet) that I'd want to play. Tony Hawk's on PS2 (if I wanted it), Smash Bros. doesn't excite me, and I don't have the patience right now for Monkey Ball, which leaves a horde of sports games (which I don't generally play) and Pikmin in the Doesn't Suck And Might Be Worth Your $50 category. For one game, the Cube's not an impulse buy... yet, anyway.

On the PS2 end, things are equally slow. I picked up Frequency for cheap (Best Buy, $9.99) and am trying to figure out its quirks. Stuntman looks _very_ interesting, and might be a time-killer until GTA: Vice and The Getaway arrive this fall/winter. The Mark of Kri (end of this month) has possibilities.

The Italian Job is on my bought-it-and-need-to-find-time-to-play-it list, as is (still) Freedom Force for the PC. I'm actually getting more mileage out of Final Fantasy V (the PSX remake) than anything else at the moment.
