anyway, D2...
I've always been a fan of Warp, the game company, they had a team of like 5 people (including the genius who was later behind ICO) and they made games wrapped in condoms and games for blind people and all sorts of really really weird shit.
They also made a little game called D, one of the first "survival horror" games; you can't save in it, you have to complete it in 2 hours, or you die. There's some puzzles.. it's kinda like Myst.. it's disturbing, atmospheric, weird, kinda awful by today's standards but also a work of art, one of the most brilliant and confounding games in the history of gaming.
Then, ENEMY ZERO, another frustrating but brilliant game that is atmospheric as hell, harder than shit, and has probably the best sound design.. ever... which is a good thing, since the enemies and where they are is based on sound.
Anyway, D2...
D fucking 2!
This game is genius! A true work of art. Man. Wow. Okay, okay, it's
kinda like one of those Resident Evil "survival horror" type games, but a lot better -- there's no zombies, the game is a billion times more atmospheric; there's just no silliness at all, actually, the game is genuinely DISTURBING in places and it is just mindblowing as hell.
Running around in the snow and shooting monsters... god this game rules.. every monster you kill gives experience points, too!
This is truly the next generation of gaming (albeit released 11 years ago). Do whatever you can to get D2.
