[creepy-disembodied-whisper-female-voice]over here... come on .... follow me[/creepy-disembodied-whisper-female-voice]
that's enough for me tonight ... holy crap ... that voice alone is going to give me nightmares ... and the dripping/chewing/blood/meat sounds in surround sound after it speaks? [shiver/]
Edit: Worth noting that the sound in this game is absolutely phenomenal. The ambient sounds are so well done and the three dimensionality is incredible (the Zalmans really do work, though i feel like i get a better sense of front-back if I wear them off-center, pushed further back -- makes the rear speakers more rear). There's all these noises going on around you, and that damn creepy voice is positioned in surround sound such that it appears to be inside your own head. Nice touch. There have been quite a few times when i can hear something coming up behind me (the little spiders clicking, breathing, or some cheap-yet-effective scare tactic) and I do the Tony Fabris trademarked fearful-spin-and-shoot maneuver. A huge part of the success/enjoyment of this game, I believe, is the audio experience.
