Finally!!

I stumbled across Penumbra a few years ago without knowing anything about it; I was just browing games looking for something new and it looked like a pretty creepy game. As it turns out, the game was wicked creepy, and the only true survival horror I've played. You're not Billy Big-Guns with an arsenal of weapons at your dissposal and a cheesy one-liner every time you blow something up. It's nice to know Amnesia will continue the awesomeness!

Yea, thats what I like about these games. They are actually scary, because you really cant fight stuff head on. Unlike all these "horror" games where you have a rocket launcher and a smg all the time.

More fun is that in Amnesia you don't need to wonder why any researchers didn't bring a gun to work, because in Amnesia guns haven't even been invented yet (if you ignore bows, of course).

I wonder tho, guns in Penumbra. If you had one pistol, half a clip of ammo... and having to choose the right moment when to spend your precious ammo.
No, no that wouldn't work.

Modded would be fun, but not for the actual games.

That's what I loved about Penumbra; you're just a regular guy. It allows you to become more absorbed in the atmosphere when you're playing a character who's not that much different than you. I mean let's face it, there aren't too many people who are gunslingers and can hold a horde of zombies at bay with a 9mm. It sems like this game limits the damage you're gonna be able to do and forces you to rely on survival instincts, which makes for one hell of a game.
