The first time I played Doom it scared the frak out of me. Now there’s something meatier. Literally, meatier. Well, okay, Doom had a lot of meat chunks in it, but they were alien meat chunks. Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth has human meat chunks. And sometimes they’re not even chunks, just maggot ridden corpses. Now, I don’t play many video games these days, but I know…
