![]() ![]() Here, he makes his way through a monster-infested Baltimore, staving off various grotesque horrors via a typical third-person action interface while trying to uncover exactly what happened to his family (whose untimely deaths may or may not have actually been his fault). The plot works OK, as long as you aren't expecting anything original: Picking up exactly where the last game ends, Ties That Bind follows Torque, a death row escapee who's been accused of brutally murdering his wife and two sons. It's not that Ties That Bind falls flat-but not much about it really stands out. Ties That Bind did give me a shiver or two when played under circumstances designed to induce that effect (late at night, alone in my apartment with the lights dimmed, and the surround sound cranked).but unless you found the original Suffering especially captivating, you can probably find better ways to get your creep on. The PC plays host to a great many horror games, and if you're over the age of about 8, it's pretty tough to really scare yourself anyway-which means that games like The Suffering: Ties That Bind are probably at something of a disadvantage to begin with. Once again, Torque will face moral dilemmas that force him to risk his sanity and delve into his own gruesome past, if he ever hopes to learn the secrets that will lead him to a future of redemption. As he quests to learn more of the strange figure responsible for his imprisonment and torture, the hero finds himself in slums of Baltimore, where the demons that now follow him unleash their depravity and delight in the darkness they bring. Like the original game, Ties That Bind features plenty of violent combat action, strung on a storyline of macabre mystery. ![]() ![]() This sequel to Surreal Software's well-received action-horror game, The Suffering, finds its protagonist Torque free from the morbid penitentiary that once held him, yet imprisoned still by the sadistic demons that haunt his waking hours. ![]()
