Even the Old Ones themselves would have probably lost patience waiting for Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth to finally show up. First unveiled more than six years ago, this horror-themed action adventure based on the work of influential American horror writer H.P. Lovecraft is clearly ambitious, mixing first-person action, sneaking, and adventure elements with a creepy story filled with various surprises. The good news is that all the delays have resulted in a one-of-a-kind game that fans of horror and action adventure gaming (and of H.P. Lovecraft) absolutely should check out. However, the presentation looks somewhat dated at times, and some other aspects are also pretty rough, just like the Xbox original released six months earlier. But if you can tolerate a few technical deficiencies and are up for a significant challenge, then you can look forward to Call of Cthulhu mightily impressing you and freaking you out equally in turn.
