On one hand, Laura in Amon Ra had GREAT reactions and I'm glad to see she's started to get a bit of that ZEST for finding the dead into her discoveries.
On the other I had NOT been spoiled for the Body Heap and -wow- you don't, uh, see a charnel house depicted in EGA every day. Yikes.
[EDIT] Also, man, in the hands of a better writer these two games could REALLY be a thing.
Laura's already seen one dead man with a dagger sticking out of him. She moves to New York, she starts a career, she gets what seems like a plush assignment at a nice upscale museum. A man shows up dead with a dagger jutting out of him, it all starts happening again...
...or we could just have some cultural stereotypes and goofy humor I guess. I tracked down what Bruce Balfour, lead designer on Amon Ra has been up to, actually. He's a novelist now who writes sci-fi novels about a guy named "Tau Wolfsinger", an astronaut/secret agent.

I feel I've said enough.
