Clock Tower

"A great game that I will always remember..."

I will always remember Clock Tower as one of those games that kept me occupied all day long. Yeah sure it may not have been a smash hit, but it's a cult classic none the less. Where can you go wrong with a great eerie plot (and atmosphere!) and just a great game altogether? Read on to find out!

It was a hot sunny spring day, May 22 1998 to be exact, and I was at the mall browsing the latest PSX titles. I had been searching for a copy of Clock Tower ever since I had seen an ad for it in a Gamepro a while back. I did not see one, until to my surprise, I glanced over at the used titles section. There it was.. shining in all its glory.. it was mine.. mine.. all mine! Yes, Clock Tower was sitting perched atop a rack of games waiting to be bought. I wasn't gonna let this opportunity pass me up at all! I grabbed the game, whipped out my $20 and got my you know what home.

I broke out the game and slapped in into my PSX. Before I knew it, I was immersed in a world of horror and adventure. The game took me from Norway to England, with the game's Villain, Scissorman (a dumb name, but what the heck!) trailing me all the way. If you happen to play it, you will be VERY surprised at who the killer REALLY is. Keep your eyes open.

So, in recollect, here's the analysis: Buy this game if you have the chance! You will not regret it! Tons of hours worth of replay, where can you go wrong?? You can't! Well, that's my review.

''Another night, another death... the brutal murders didn't have to continue for long before the undeniable truth was revealed. How can the most vicious killer in Norway's history return for an encore performance after his own death? This terrifying horror adventure will have you at the edge of your seat for hours and hours as you explore evil and hauntingly realistic areas in England and Norway in search for the most horrifying serial killer known to man.''
