You travel back to your homestead, besieged by some secret government organization and creatures of all types, including the chiding ghosts of your wife and two sons (and your ghost-wife Carmine can be a real bitch, too). (Where do they come up with these?) By the way, in the game, Baltimore has been ripped to shreds by the same supernatural phenomena as Carnate Island and abandoned by most folks (you know, just like in reality). “The Suffering II” picks up right as you exit Carnate Island on a boat and enter the much more horrifying town of…get this crazy name…Baltimore. Killjoy (who happens to enjoy experimenting on inmates). Your nemesis is a whacko prison psychiatrist Dr. In the course of the game, you slowly make your way off the island, coming face-to-face with all sorts of demons and creatures-many of whom are seriously warped and mutated reincarnations of prisoners who have been executed over the years. Supernatural shenanigans at said prison literally tear the prison apart, freeing you. In the first game, you are in prison on Carnate Island (what a name!) for possibly having killed your wife and kids (gruesome). An anything-but-brief narrative follows: You play as Torque. I agree with those sentiments, but I earnestly enjoyed the game. Reviews of the game exist all over the net, and generally speaking the game was not as well received as the original one. (Wait, do I actually want to admit that?) I’ll stop there for brevity’s sake, err.īut I can now add the long-awaited “The Suffering II” to the list. Siren: Blood Curse? On the shelf, waiting. (And who the hell actually played through this?) Siren II: Going to play it. Let me trot out my pedigree, please: Siren? Played it. This is not because I did not feel compelled to play it-it was just always interrupted by…something else.īut I’m a superfool for a serious horror game, and I knew I’d be burning my way through it eventually. My experience with this title is…fractured, at best. Even then, it took a long time for me to get around to it it stretched for maybe 3 years (longest-game-ever?).

Feeling guilty at never having completed it, I finally bought a beat-up PC version for like a buck with the intention of finishing it. Then I’d see used copies in stores and wondered what happened to mine.
The game–as well as my memory card with several corrupted gamesaves–got lost in the shuffle of life. I bought and played part of “The Suffering II” on an old PS2.

What I mean is this: While I managed to finish the original “The Suffering” in a normal run on PS2 several years back (and enjoyed its gritty, serious, bizarre, wicked nature), I haphazardly played the sequel intermittently over a period of years and in different formats. “The Suffering II: Ties That Bind” falls into the incoherent category. (yeah, I finished it), moving around the country getting an education and trying to look for a position as a professor (yeah, I found one), living out of boxes. (Did I just say that out loud?) I was beginning work on my Ph.D.
As an adult (or as a perceived adult, anyway), there were actually periods of time when I didn’t play videogames at all, for years. Translation: I have not consistently played videogames over the years.
