Ah, replies to various posts...

For those wanting to get into Lovecraft:
If for some reason, it seemed too obvious to be true, HPLovecraft.com has plenty of info and most of his stories freely available to read/print out.

Ha, after just finishing watching RE, I was kidding with my friends that we'd probably find a knife in the tub.  I got freaked, when there actually was something inside.

It chills me just thinking about that scene.  I made it to Karim's stage in about an hour, then decided I would save the rest of the game for when I didn't have Skies of Arcadia anymore.  It's a week rental, so I have plenty of time, unlike Skies of Arcadia...

Anyways, I am almost at that scene again, and it kind of worries me...  I know what's there, I know when it happens, I know that I don't have to look at it...  but I always do anyways.  I just can't NOT do it.  And it freaks me out every time.  I don't know what it is about that scene, but it's some seriously scary stuff (damn censor...  why can't it just **** the swear words?).

i didnt like how there was absolutely no point for guns (except the elephant gun and the assault rifle)
you could either shooot the zombie a few times or run up to him and give him 1 slice on the head.
the game was awesome though...a bit too easy because of the mana regeneration so you could heal all the time.

That was my only beef with ED - projectile weapons were useless.  In the later levels I found myself using guns as little as possible and then switching over to blade weapons as soon as I found them.  The blade weapons were much more fun and efficient.

I didn't think the healing spells made the game easy, it made the game not frustrating.  There's a difference.  It still took me 20 hours to beat first time through.

It took me a little over 14 hours my first time through, and a little over 9 the second time.  (Ulyaoth and Chattur'gha respectively)

I never had a problem with the guns or projectile weapons though.  I found that they were great for trappers and horrors.  Besides, nothing beat using an enchanted assault rifle.    My first time through the game I used only blades, as I was scared of running out of ammo, but this time through, I have been having great success with the projectile weapons.  I love them.
