"Edward Carnby, born in 1897 in New Orleans was raised in a loving and well-to-do household. Here Carnby’s parents encouraged him to develop his sense of curiosity, adventure and free spirit. After his formative years, and against the will of his parents, Carnby joined the army and specialized in covert operations along with intensive hand-to-hand and weapons training, moving up to rank of first lieutenant until he was unceremoniously dismissed.



In search of a new life after the army, C..."

"Full 360 camera control: enhanced camera controls allows complete freedom of the camera and better handling of first person view camera movement for even more immersive gameplay;

""It's Friday, and that means no work for a few days complimented with a batch of fresh-baked games just like Mum used to make. First up, we've got the return of the famously not-as-good-as-Resi survival horror series Alone in the Dark...""

"Scandinavian games site GameReactor (The Norwegian edition specifically) were one of the first to review Alone in the Dark. They gave it 3/10. Ouch. However, they then promptly pulled the review, and accusations of shady dealings were levelled against the site by Atari, who said that press copies had only been sent out the day before (the review has since been reinstated, and the 3/10 stands). Odd, seeing as many other European publications also had reviews go live this week.

German site 4..."

"Today Eden Games officially announced that the development for the fifth installment survival horror video game series under the same name created by Infogrames."

"Alone in the Dark invented the survival horror genre. Hell, the original Alone in the Dark was arguably the first to introduce fear itself into the gaming experience. You wouldn't believe how terrified we were of a couple of shadowy strategically placed polygon blocks back in 1994...

Now imagine what the franchise can do with cutting edge graphics, surround sound, real world physics and cinematic storytelling. More importantly, after nearly fifteen years of practice, imagine what kind of g..."

"Publishers have largely moved away from adapted versions of their high-tech games for Wii, but they still happen, such as this month’s “Alone in the Dark.”
“Alone in the Dark” doesn’t feel much like a game designed for Wii. That’s probably because it isn’t.

But for Wii-exclusive owners in search of survival horror before Tecmo delivers “Fatal Frame,” “Alone in the Dark” is their best bet. In that respect, how does it hold up?

It’s hit or miss. Much of the visual fidelity and large set ..."

"In an interview with Eurogamer the storied game executive said that the solo-only Alone in the Dark, an upcoming horror game from Infogrames-owned Atari, is part of a dying breed.

“I don't think the industry is going to make many more [single-player adventure games],” said Harrison in the interview. “I just don't think consumers want to be playing games that don't have some kind of network connectivity to them, or some kind of community embedded in them, or some kind of extension available..."

"Eurogamer: Alone in the Dark has been in development for four years now. Has it been worth the wait?

Phil Harrison: I think so. The first time I was exposed to the game I was blown away with what Eden created, the level of attention to detail and the passion they have for the integrity of the story. I hope they feel proud of it; they should do.

Eurogamer: Can you explain a bit more about the episodic structure?

Phil Harrison: Each episode has a start, a middle and an end. Each episod..."

"In what’s looking like being one of the darkest, creepiest videogames to be heading to the videogaming world in 2008, Atari has unveiled a fresh set of images for the so-called apocalyptic action blockbuster, originally planned for launch in May, but now currently penned down for release on June 20 and June 24 in Europe and North America respectively."

"Well, not necessarily, but the game does have an interesting little feature for those who find themselves too lazy or too frustrated to play the game properly. With the introduction of a DVD-style menu, Alone In The Dark 5 will let players skip sections of the game. Here are the details from OXM UK’s interview with Nour Polloni, producer: (Go to source for interview and more info)"

"When it comes to the likes of Uwe Boll or Paul W.S. Anderson, a sound case can be argued for incompetence and a distinct lack of nounce after weighing up the terrible twosome’s respective movie portfolios, but writer Nicole LaPorte offers that videogame narratives are simply unable to sustain successful movie spin offs.

Comparing videogame movie adapatations against Hollywood creations reliant on the comic book world, LaPorte says that the "weak narratives" often found in videogames are un..."
