1: I am and always will be a video game adict. 2: the lovecraftian field for gaming is limitless, you just have to tap it right. in a newly realesed game called The Darkness, a truly unique gameplay style is used. the plot follows the death, rebirth, second death, second rebirth, and possibly third death of a posessed hitman. posessed by evil itself. the unique thing is that it talks to you and tells you how pathetic man is. how usless it is to fight. evil, vile, and criptic fortellings of you destiny. this is just what a Cthulhu game needs, "outside-the-box" thinking. imagine, if you wil, the perspective not of a mortal man but a crawling, creeping, deadly native of R'lhey. think of the dark, writhing, unkown mass that can only be described as Yog. see in your minds eye the towering bulk of ancient maddness that is Cthulhu. and all the time, while traveling through Innsmouth and over the evil grounds of forrest that harbor ancient hate for man and the all but unimaginably powerful expierience of traversing the Cliffs of Maddness, some thousands of dark creeping terrors tell you of the unfaltering doom to come. hello game of the year. well, i'd play it anyway.

Well as far as Cthulhu goes in Gaming, I have the Xbox Game Call of Cthulhu:Dark Corners of the Earth.
a very good mystery game
Also there is a quest in Elder Scrolls Oblivion called: Shadow over Hackdirt, the whole quest is a homage to Shadow over Innsmoth...and that alone makes it awesome

I have a pretty covering list of all lovecraft games ever made from a danish HPL fanzine i bought. I can post it if people would like? Most of them are text adventures available for free download at homeoftheunderdog.com.

I'm currently replaying the wonderful Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth (PC) even though my interest in video games has been decreasing for a long time, corresponding with an increase in interest in other matters. I even got some enjoyment out of Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened, although that game could have been done much, much better. WAY too linear and rushed it seemed to me, felt almost like a cash-in on the current trendiness of all things Lovecraftian. Some nice visuals. It seems that Lovecraft himself did not hold any kinds of games or sports in high regard Not that he was exactly a perfect model human being, except for being a major literary genius & visionary and other things such as an amateur astronomer.

I read one place that Lovecraft would sometimes eat nothing but candy and icecream for days. He was highly out of touch with his physical side, but more in touch with his mental side.

If your into pen-n-paper roleplaying and want something a bit more rules-lite and narrative than the old CoC RPG from Chaosium I recommend a fantastic little game called Unspeakable. Its a microsupplement for the Inspectres rpg, but all you need is awailable free here: Inspectres startupUnspeakable
