I think it's just that after a while of not having played a Half Life 2 game, and the next one comes out it makes me giddy to see that menu setup again with all the good old sounds, but it's much better because I know his is the menu to a new game in the series.

Again this is probably just me being irrational Tongue
I think if you play a game and want more of it then it might be a good thing. but for some like amnesia with all its mods and custom stories I believe people are pretty fed up and wants something that feels new.
those who just played the campaign might feel like you do too though.

In an interview, Dan said that he loves Russian literature, who his favorite authors? What he likes about Russian literature ?
If he had the opportunity to make a game based on the book, what book it was? And what genre ?

Will thechineseroom develop games for ios?
Is there a desire and ideas for a new project in the genre of horror?( may be for ios Wink ,or another portable device ? )

No and again NO.
You have to play as intended how could you play as intended with noise around you on a low quality small screen with junk speakers (headphones solves this) still smart phones are no good for these kind of games.

TCR developers who have accounts on this forum need some sort of different colored name so we can tell who is and who isn't one.

Just a bad game, it does not mean that other games will be the same.

And a dark locations automatically means better atmosphere and more horror. There will be also bright areas also, but I want more dark. Nice to see black darkness in the game! TCR did a good job!

"Dark locations automatically means better atmosphere" you clearly haven't played Bioshock Infinite. (Mostly) very bright settings, very ideologically horrifying.

By your logic, I could take the shittiest horror game you could think of, turn down the gamma, and "automatically" have a better, scarier game. Appropriate darkness supports these classic survival horror games, yes, but they do not necessarily "automatically" create a better atmosphere and better horror.

Ios might not be great for horror games, but good horror games on these platforms do exist. Go buy Year Walk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVz_MhMsAvs) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8l1Wag19eg). It's a real gem of a game. Download, play, and then come back and tell me smart phones aren't good for horror games.
