    I've been saying this for the last several days, but Amnesia is well worth whatever Frictional Games is charging for it.  I finished a few days ago, and would love to dive back into it.  Unfortunately, I know the twists and turns of the story and have figured out the puzzles, so I'll have to wait until their next game is out.  But please go out and buy it!  And if you do, follow the developer's recommendation and play in the dark.  It's worth it.

    Actually.... they just released the level editor/creation tool today.  So industrious users can actually make their own maps and such now since the tool is actually what they used to make the game itself and contains all the games resources as well.

    @Karkarov:  Good to hear that.  I'm hoping the community is big enough to actually spawn some decent custom games, but we'll see.  I'd like to take a crack at it myself, time permitting.

    @Davvyk: 
    I hate to tell you this but the first hour of the game is the least scary it gets, there is stuff you run into later much much worse.

    I wouldn't be able to cope. I've started watching hams3rs play through on YouTube and it confirms I'm not built to play this stuff.

    I watched Hamst3rs playthrough. I no longer need to play it, and shit my pants.
