It's a really good analysis on Eternal Darkness by Sal Serio from Next Level Gaming.
Read it. It's really interesting. Well written too.
There are 5 parts, and you can access them by the bar on the left.

Nevermore! Nevermore!
And it was narrated by who else but James Earl Jones!

over volumes of forgotten lore....
I love that poam. My mom use to read it to me when I was in grade school.

"Well, PS2 and Xbox fanboys would be a couple of examples."
Oh....yeah.

I'll try to make a [good] trailer for ED hopefully by the end of the month; it's first anniversary is coming up.

Oh Edgar Allan Poe, is there anyone you haven't touched?
"Well, PS2 and Xbox fanboys would be a couple of examples."
Oh....yeah.
Au contraire, Silent Hill 3 seems to take big cues from AAP in parts. I like Edgar Alan Poe. He was a very good writer.
Oh yeah, and the article is very interesting too. I wasn't a huge fan of ED's storyline but it's nice to see that some people still care about giving a deep, multilayered storyline for their games.

Just that Poe was quoted in ED, is all, so even if Poe cues were in SH3, people wouldn't know unless it was quoted.
I mean, Carl Jung was a name I'd never heard of until Eternal Darkness, and we studied him a few weeks ago at Uni.
Games and Uni, a perfect match. Haha.

It's where I have read Call of Cthulhu, and I read a few others from there too. Someday when I have time (and internet access), I will try to finish the job I started. 
Come to think of it though, I did read "The Raven", but I read it in Grade 9, and that was a LONG time ago. My memory on it was almost extinguished until people started quoting it. I really do mean to read all of Poe's poems again one day though, as "The Tell-Tale Hand" and "The Raven" were the only required reading I did in school that I actually liked.

Especially when they do em all pretty in the FMV, and they have their own voices (unlike Zelda's yelps and screams), it's so nice!
*ahem*
*lowers voice*
Er...I mean....I like footy, cricket, boxing, motorcycle racing, and F1, and most of all, girls. Can't be a man if you don't like girls!

(I love that story he wrote about the doctor who hypnotised a man about to die. And when he was brought out of the trance he turned to dust. A lot of people killed them selves when it was first published because he used paper that was used primarily for medical texts. Much like when War of the Worlds was broadcast. It frightening how much power the media has over people.

Vincent Price was an actor (The Pit and the Pendulum, The Masque of the Red Death, Theater of Blood; just to name a few.) He had a very distinct voice, and if you are familiar with Michael Jackson's Thriller video then you have heard him. He does the "Thriller Rap" or whatever it's called.

I know who the guy is now, but I haven't heard of him other than for Thriller.

During the early 1970s, Price continued to make horror classics such as The Abominable Dr. Phibes, but he grew discouraged as the genre changed from Gothic tales to slasher films
