Amnesia: the Dark Descent is a first-person exploratory game, full of puzzles of a medium difficulty. The graphics aren't bad, the controls are pretty solid, and the sound is fantastic.

This Sunday, the Greek League at OSU met in the intramural field behind Weatherford Hall for their league semifinals.
