Sadly overlooked by many, despite the phenomenal acclaim, any serious horror game fan needs to hunt down a copy of Eternal Darkness ASAP.

I have an addiction to achievements, a craving for new bands and a dream to become Captain America. I once finished second in a Mario Kart 7 tournament so I'm kind of a big deal.
