I played Undying, the Clive Barker-scripted first person shooter game, and found it a very enjoyable romp. The sound in particular was incredibly well done, and I really liked the two-handed fighting scheme that combined left-handed weapons with right-handed spell casting.

My favorite element of the game was the scrying spell, which would reveal images and sounds from the past, illuminate magical beasties, and most fun of all unveil haunted aspects of objects such as paintings.

It reminded me of the paintings in the Haunted Mansion in Disney World, which in turn reminded me that it's been far too long since I've been to the land of Mickey and kin. I still hold a grudge over the fact that they ripped down Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, but I do love the Magic Kingdom itself nonetheless—even if their copyright policies bite the big cel-animated weenie.

Anyway, it was a fun game is what I'm saying.
