Call of Cthulhu was originally the title of a novella by cult American horror writer H.P. Lovecraft (1890–1937) which has, since it was published in 1928, captured the imagination of generation after generation of fans. Returning to the horror from Lovecraft's original 'Reanimator' set during the dark days of WW1, Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land draws the player into a nightmare world where the terror of mustard gas and trench warfare are but a foretaste of what is to follow.

Pros: Amazing graphics and sound. Deep, challenging turn-based strategy gameplay. An outstanding adaptation of Lovecraft's Eldritch Horror. Recent update solves all the major problems present in the first version. Cons: High level of difficulty will undoubtedly turn some people off.
