Okay.  While looking through completed WME games I might enjoy, I got on to this Barrow Hill by Shadow Tor Studios.  I almost wasn’t going to review this, because of the subject matter I determined would be acceptable.  But looking at the first person perspective I sort of felt it wouldn’t like get gory or anything.  Now the case may change with the full version, but the demo is just fine.  I also wanted to choose something a little bit different than I normally play.  Firstly the first person perspective adventure games (say like Myst) is not something I play usually.  Secondly I really don’t care much for supposedly “scary”, horror, or thriller games.  Mostly because as horror movies, these games get more realistic and thus a bit more gory.  Luckily this is an adventure game, so the chances of this being truly that bad is small.
