Got this on the 360 when it was released, remember reading so much about the fire psychics and thinking how awesome it was that the fires spread so impressively and that wooden doors and similar things crumbled broke. The story was confusing, but I found it interesting how the like movie cut "previously this happened thing" was implemented, I had not seen a game do that before
Love this game. It's janky, yes, but very special and it's a shame there's not a PC version that both runs well on modern PCs and has all the content of the PS3 Inferno release. Correction to the description though, it's a sequel to AITD1-3, not a reboot. The OG timeline is: Alone in the Dark 2, Alone in the Dark (1992), Alone in the Dark 3, Shadow of the Comet, Prisoner of Ice, Alone in the Dark (2008) and finally Alone in the Dark: Illumination. It was Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare and later Alone in the Dark (2024) that were attempts at reboots.

I'd just like to mention there's a separate entry in GOG's Dreamlist for the definitive version of the game released only for PS3, Alone in the Dark: INFERNO, which fixed the most egregious bugs of the original and added extra content, including a new inventory system. Wouldn't it be cool to bring that one back? Because the version of the game this entry requests on GOG is already available on Steam, but to play INFERNO legally you'd have to buy an old PS3 and chase an old physical copy of AITD:I.

Spider-Man: Friend or Foe
Spider-Man: Friend or FoeSpider-Man: Friend or Foe is a Spider-Man video game based on the comic book series and Spider-Man movies. According to the company report, Spider-Man: Friend or Foe is a unique take on the media franchise.

Players team up with famous heroes from the Marvel Comics universe to combat villains and then convert them to sidekicks after defeating them in epic boss battles. The game includes a co-op multiplayer mode, as Spider-Man or a sidekick, in locations around the globe, including Tokyo, Egypt, and Nepal. Spider-Man: Friend or Foe, along with most other games published by Activision that had used the Marvel licence, was de-listed and removed from all digital storefronts on January 1, 2014.

Scarface: The World Is Yours
Scarface: The World Is YoursThe game begins in the film's final scene, with Tony Montana's (Andre Sogliuzzo) mansion being raided by Alejandro Sosa's assassins. But this is the point of divergence from the film. Instead of being killed by the Skull, Tony manages to sense him and shoots him down. He fights through his mansion, with many deaths on both sides. In the ensuing chaos, Tony sneaks to the front of the mansion, barely alive, and manages to escape in his car. Sosa is then informed that Tony's mansion has been seized and his massive drug empire has been reduced to nothing. Hiding in a safehouse located outside of Miami, Tony regrets the decisions he has made but swears revenge on Sosa.

Silent Hill: Origins
Silent Hill: OriginsSilent Hill: Origins is the fifth installment in the Silent Hill survival horror series, and a prequel to the original game. As in the previous entries, the player move back and forth between nightmare and real versions of the town, gathering items used to solve puzzles and open up new areas. Monsters of various types provide obstacles and, in series tradition, are mostly disturbingly twisted versions of humanity. The main character can fight with his bare fists or use melee weapons. Unlike previous games in the series, melee weapons break after a time. There are also one-shot items that can be thrown and several guns. There is no HUD, but the edge of the screen turns red when the protagonist is near death.

Silent Hill 3
Silent Hill 3Silent Hill 3 is the third installment in the Silent Hill series. Like the previous entries, Silent Hill 3 is a survival horror combining action-based combat and puzzle-solving, but is somewhat more combat-oriented than the preceding installments. The main character is able to side-step and block some attacks, but in general shares with the other protagonists of the series their relative ineptitude in combat.

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Silent Hill: Shattered MemoriesSilent Hill: Shattered Memories is the seventh installment in the Silent Hill survival horror series, and a stand-alone reimagining of the original Silent Hill video game. Once again, you will cast Harry Mason searching across the haunted town for his missing daughter Cheryl. Through his exploration, Harry will come across objects and recordings that tell some of the history of Silent Hill. New to the series are a depiction of Silent Hill's demonic alter-dimension as a world of ice, and the removal of weapons from the game: when the monsters come out, Harry must literally run for his life. Between scenes, the game will cut to a psychiatrist's office, who asks personal questions about Harry and his past experiences. The game will then alter itself based on the player's responses, changing characters and lines of dialog to something intended to be more personally uncomfortable.
