Also known as: Demento Platforms: PS2 Release Date: 2005-05-10 Regions: USA Japan Chris’s Rating: ★★☆☆ Clock Tower 3 run-and-hide mechanics applied to a much more cohesive game, though the routine still gets old after a while. Haunting Ground is an old-school survival horror game dressed in new-school technology. It’s got all the adventure-meets-horror goodness that […]

Also known as: Mortifilia Platforms: PS2, Xbox, PC Release Date: 2004-10-01 Regions: USA Europe Chris’s Rating: ★★★☆ A rather by-the-numbers horror game that benefits greatly from its unique two-player mode. Obscure is a pretty apt title for this game, because it certainly passed under the radar of much of the gaming public. Developed by a […]
Platforms: PS2 Release Date: 2005-08-05 Regions: Japan Europe Chris’s Rating: ☆☆☆☆ Suda51 makes crazy games, and sometimes they are brilliant. Other times, as with Michigan, they are terrible. I’ve been trying to come up with something positive to say about Michigan to open this review with. I could say that it’s not buggy, but actually […]

Also known as: Silent Hill 4: The Room Platforms: PS2, Xbox, PC Release Date: 2004-09-07 Regions: USA Japan Europe Chris’s Rating: ★★☆☆ It looks like a Silent Hill game, and it sounds like a Silent Hill game, and it plays like a Silent Hill game, but somehow Silent Hill 4 feels less like a sequel […]
Platforms: PS2, Xbox, PC Release Date: 2003-12-08 Regions: USA Europe Chris’s Rating: ☆☆☆☆ A poor game with a couple of oddball, but ultimately ineffective, ideas.

Platforms: PS2 Release Date: 2004-03-31 Regions: USA Japan Chris’s Rating: ★☆☆☆ Historical Japanese trappings can’t save this short-and-painful knockoff. Official Japanese site: http://www.ku-o-n.net/top/ Official English site: http://kuon.agetec.com/ There’s one thing I can say for certain about Kuon: it has style.
