    A surprisingly engaging, Twin Peaks style romp

    Deadly Premonition (aka Rainy Woods) is a $20 title that, admittedly, is not for everyone. Deadly Premonition blends familiar gameplay mechanics from Silent Hill, Resident Evil and Grand Theft Auto and presents it in a manner befitting David Lynch.

Deadly Premonition is a game that you absolutely can not take serious.  If you want your games to have thrilling and fast paced action, if you crave intricate storytelling with interweaving plot lines, if you need your g...
