The point where the series steadily started going downhill. It’s common knowledge that 1990’s Alone in the Dark pretty much defined the survival horror genre. Infogrames tried as much, but couldn’t quite revive the series to the same level of enthusiasm that characterized it during the early 90’s.
More recent reiterations of Alone in the Dark didn’t help much either (see AITD 2008 or that god-awful ), but here we have The New Nightmare, a middle-of-the-road sort of game released just before the series went downhill for good. This old place has its share of jump scares. You play Edward Carnby, paranormal investigator out to unravel the death of his friend, whose murder is linked to an eccentric millionaire living in a secluded island off the coast of Massachusetts. Tagging along with him is Aline, whom we’re told is an anthropology professor. Upon first starting the game, you’re given the choice of either playing as Carnby or Aline, a choice that will not only alter the viewpoint from which you play the game but also give access to different areas, weapons and puzzles.

It will slightly change the gaming experience altogether – Carnby is more action-oriented while Aline is better suited for evasion. It’s a neat twist, but nothing we haven’t already seen before. As in other survival horror games rendered in still shots, you navigate your 3D character through fairly static yet surprisingly well built environments. Characters, enemies and inventory items blend in seamlessly in their respective scenery, never standing out as they do in some other 2D / 3D combos (I’m looking mainly at Resident Evil), and the lighting effects in particular look superb. Aim your flashlight down a dark corner and the beam will cast realistic shadows everywhere, an effect done by superimposing two pre-rendered images.
For a game originally developed for the PlayStation, The New Nightmare looks undeniably great.
From EA continues its Triple Play Baseball series with Triple Play 2000, which features more-responsive hitting with an increased contact zone and three vertical levels of batting animation that give you the control to hit for placement or power. TP2K also has new dramatic animations and cinematic action cameras that follow a home run into the sky and out of the park, returning the camera to the park just in time to see the heroic slugger crossing home plate, which is great-when you're not the pitcher. Triple Play 2000 has a number of other features as well, such as facial animations, more realistic running of bases and overrunning of home plate and first base, and a smarter AI that not only responds to your trade suggestions but takes the initiative to make some offers as well. This demo allows you to play three single-player innings, as the National League all-stars take on the American League all-stars at Fenway Park.
