That's the song, thanks.
"I haven't delved that far into the game yet."
If you've got the to the gameplay part of this game, yes you have :P That song plays throughout the game as you wander around the mansion as Alex.

You're welcome.

By "I haven't delved that far into the game yet.", I meant I only got as far as popping the game in to see if it worked and then I wandered around for a couple minutes :lol: I wasn't paying much attention to the music at the time, so when you said 'whisper music' that's all I could think of. And that was a while ago, now that I think about it :?

Ah well. October is coming up. That should be a good time to give it a shot.

Definitely worth a playthrough. The fun magic and combat system makes it a positively different survival horror game and the clever use of sanity effects makes it a one of a kind unique video game (though the concept has been used in a few other horror games, ED:SR sort of "breaks the 4th wall" in some very clever ways, something you'd wish to see more in games in general)

I'm playing through The Witcher 2 on Xbox 360 even though I own the PC version, and have a PC capable of cranking the visuals up to max. I don't know why, but, it just feels better to play it on a couch. I really do find that, unless I'm playing a multiplayer game, I tend to prefer consoles. I love multiplayer games though, so I end up playing on my PC most of the time.

Anyways, it's incredible how faithful CDPR managed to convert the game over from the original PC release. I'd wager it's probably the best looking game on current consoles. It also runs at a completely locked 30fps as far as I can tell. Haven't seen a drop or stutter yet!

Oh yeah, the game is pretty freaking awesome too. Can't forget to mention that.

Shadowrun Returns was released on iOS? Damn. No wonder the game hasn't got any keybinds

Remember back when people would frequently state that they wished Nintendo would bring back their seal of quality? I think one of the good things about retro gaming becoming mainstream is that people have realized that the seal of quality never really meant anything.

I think people misunderstood the seal of quality. The seal isn't meant to state that the game is awesome, it's just there to show that it is manufactured with quality in mind, so you know you're not getting a Chinese bootleg or whatever.
