Eldritch Gaming: Amnesia on Weird Tales

An interesting "think piece" on Weird Tales as to the success of the Amnesia game franchise as a "eldritch" or Lovecraftian game. Personally, I wasn't hooked on Amnesia within the first 40 minutes or so, and given the incredibly minimal amount of free time I have, that was enough to mean I never came back to it. The author of the piece makes some good points, which for the most part I think confirms my long standing opinion that some things are simply better experienced in person. The Call of Cthulhu RPG, despite being fairly popular, resists translation into other medium because it is such a social experience at its core. Eldritch Gaming - Does it work?
