Sanity’s Encore

Silicon Knights, the developers of the classic GameCube survival horror game Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem, are reported to be working on a new, as yet un-named, third person perspective psychological action thriller. The GC original spanned a century of demonic intrigue, had a great story and some truly mind bending “insanity effects”. These effects were so convincing and impressed gamers so much that Nintendo went on to patent Sanity in video games. They did! Honest! Memory card erasing and your TV switching off along with all the other weirdness are Nintendo Patents. Perhaps Gameov3r will patent fun. All game developers and producers would then have to pay us a nominal fee for including anything in their games that could be described as fun.

Eternal Darkness received high review scores and sold extremely well back in 2002. It’s well worth playing through even today and commands a decent price on Ebay thanks to its reputation. You might find this one cheaper in the second hand bucket of your local game emporium.

Could the as yet un-named Silicon Knights game (expected to be released in 2010!) be the long awaited sequel? Here's hoping.

2010’s a long time away but Too Human, Silicon Knights latest adventure, should fill a gap in the meantime. Who am I kidding? Tomorrow is Mario Kart Friday! Like I'll be playing anything else?!? The Gameov3r FORUM will be buzzing with karting mayhem, it is already, and lots of people typing in FC's! Please work online, please work online, please work online, please work online, please....
