A bunch of horror games have been announced this year, so I thought I’d take a step back and see what we can look forward to in the near future. I think this list is pretty complete, but please post information about upcoming games that I miss. Also, until the titles actually ship it will […]
The pretty great-looking Penumbra: Overture is now getting a sequel, which looks pretty neat. Destructoid has the scoop (as well as a video), and there is more info at the official site. I don’t have a PC and thus wasn’t able to play the full version of Overture, but the demo seemed very neat. I […]
Destructoid has some new footage of gameplay from the upcoming Silent Hill 5. Everything about it looks pretty good except for the camera; it looks to me like it’s a standard American third-person-on-the-second-stick camera rather than the rather brilliant camera system from previous games in the series. I hope that I’m wrong and that the […]
Kotaku is reporting a fairly substantial-sounding rumor that Climax and Konami will be bringing Silent Hill: 0rigins to the PS2 in 2008. Makes sense–ports are pretty cheap and the PSP isn’t exactly a money-making machine. Here’s looking forward to a PS2 port of the latest addition to the Silent Hill series.
Kotaku is reporting that Alone in the Dark 5, previously announced for PS3 and Xbox360, will also be coming out on PS2 and Wii. Obscure developers Hydravision will be handling the ports, it sounds like. As an unnecessary aside, I’ll take this moment to complain again about how next gen development costs hurt innovative games, […]
My wife and I (and our brand-new daughter, though she wasn’t yet born at the time) moved to a new neighborhood this year. For the first time in almost a decade, I think we’ll be living in a place that actually has kids going out to Trick or Treat the neighborhood. Some of our neighbors […]
Speaking of Dementium: The Ward, here’s some game play footage. Doesn’t look half-bad!
I posted a little bit about Dementium: The Ward before, and since then the Horror FPS for DS has been mostly off my radar. The game is on schedule for release at the end of October (hooray for Halloween), and I am very interested to see if horror in a portable format will work. But […]
If you like PC adventure games and you like H.P. Lovecraft, you might be interested in Darkness Within. Predictably, it’s a PC adventure game inspired by H.P. Lovecraft. Via Kotaku.
1Up.com has some info on the upcoming issue of EGM, which will contain info on Silent Hill 5. Not a lot of new info here, but interesting nonetheless. Update: 1up.com has posted a bunch more information, including an interview with the developers and a bunch of videos. It looks like the game is borrowing many […]
