I have logged a lot of time in the air this month. I flew from Japan to the Bay Area in early April, then flew up to Oregon to see my family, and now I am sitting in a hotel room in Montreal. On Sunday I return to the Bay Area and on Tuesday I […]
So I missed April Fools this year. Sorry. My excuse is that I was on a plane over the Pacific, which is true. Next year I’ll have some totally mind blowing joke prepared for you all (I considered posting that Alan Wake had been announced as an iPhone exclusive, but I figured that probably won’t […]
About a year ago I was lucky enough to be quoted in German Game magazine Gee in an article about horror games. Apparently I didn’t come off like some crazy lunatic, as another magazine from Deutschland has seen fit to put my opinions to print. This time around editor Christian Schöenlein of play3 has written […]
I’ve been in Japan for a month now. I signed a lease on an apartment at the beginning of November. I won’t have an internet connection until the middle of December. I am so behind on the happenings of the world (whoa, we have a new president!), particularly the survival horror world. My games are […]
As we approach Halloween the horror games begin to land in quick succession. Silent Hill: Homecoming and Dead Space (which is mysteriously missing from my database–gotta fix that) are out and have been met by mediocre and favorable reviews, respectively.

Her latest article, Does Survival Horror Really Still Exist? […]
That’s right, the PC version of The Suffering is free for download right now. Awesome!
Kotaku is reporting that with some new footage from Quantic Dream’s Heavy Rain, it’s been revealed that the game is a horror game. This is fantastic news because Quantic Dream’s stuff is awesome and Heavy Rain has sounded extremely promising from day one. I really enjoyed their last game, Indigo Prophecy, and finding out that […]
I haven’t seen the other news sites pick this up yet, but it looks like EA has agreed to publish an as-yet-unannounced “action horror” title by Shinji Mikami and Suda51, with some help from Tetsuya Mizuguchi’s Q Entertainment. No details whatsoever are available at the moment, but the names attached to this announcement alone seem […]
It’s E3 time again, and there’s been a few blips on the horror game radar. Of particular note is the tons of press that Resident Evil 5 has been getting, even though it’s not due out until next year. There’s also a little video of water physics from tech demo / horror game Hydrophobia. And […]
