Video gaming thoughts and reviews. Sunday, July 09, 2006. Review: Call of Cthulhu. Http:/ www.callofcthulhu.com. Http:/ www.3dgamers.com/screenshots/games/callofcthulhu/. PC CD-ROM, X-Box. A couple bugs have cropped up, one being the inability to push a set of 4 important levers, which all aided in completing the level. No matter what I tried, I could not attack the levers (you had to swat at them instead of 'use' them, because you weren't playing as Jack). The solution? 4 out of 5. Review: SWAT 4 Gold.

X-Box, PS2, PC CD-ROM. You won't go wrong with the full version. 4 out of 5. Replayable, looks great, very cinematic/filmic feel, engaging and intriguing, mysterious storyline and character depth. Interesting gameplay formats. Doesn't require a workhorse PC (800 Mhz minimum). Could've been maybe 5 chapters longer. The bug?
