Joystiq.com has an interesting tidbit about the next Alone in the Dark game. Apparently it will be split into a series of TV-like episodes, with an entire “season” coming on the disk. I guess the idea is to break the narrative up into short 45 minute segments, which is an interesting approach. Hopefully I’ll get […]
If you have a PC and are into point-and-click horror games, you might enjoy Scratches, which just came out. GameRankings doesn’t have much to say about the game yet (77% but only 5 reviewers checking in), but the screenshots look pretty neat.
1up.com has a pretty interesting (and fairly lengthy) interview with Christophe Gans and Akira Yamaoka about the upcoming Silent Hill movie. There aren’t any real spoilers, they mostly discuss how the game has made the transition to film. Gans is apparently a pretty hardcore gamer. The movie comes out in the US on April 21st.
I was reading the latest issue of Famitsu (which, by the way, has a pretty awesome preview of Siren 2) when I ran across a crazy game called The Zombie VS Ambulance (THEVS). This is SIMPLE2000 game, which means its a budget title by D3 publishing (retail in Japan is about $18, which is ultra […]
Thanks to Kotaku.com for this cool interview with Makoto Shibata, the brains behind the Fatal Frame series. Apparently there is a longer version of this interview, but I haven’t been able to find it yet. Pretty interesting stuff.
Thanks to Kotaku for posting a note about Konami’s announcement of a Silent Hill game for PSP. Only, it turns out it’s not really a game so much as a bunch of media related to the series. Sounds like basically a fan site on UMD. What a let down. Silent Hill Experience (working title) Release […]
The MagicBox has more screens from Siren 2. This game is going to rock. Also, Rule of Rose now has an official site (in Japanese) with some pretty neat gameplay movies. This game has been out in Japan for about a week now, but it’s not yet been announced for release in Europe or America.
I guess I wasn’t paying attention back in October, because Land of the Dead came out and I totally missed it. It’s not been doing well with the reviewers, however (a 1.9 from GameSpot, wohoo!), so maybe it’s no big loss. At 48%, it clocks in as the 3rd worst survival horror game ever.
Thanks to Insert Credit for pointing out some new images from Rule of Rose over at GameWatch. This game definitely has some style! Check it out.
This totally made my morning. Capcom has posted a gameplay video of Resident Evil DS, and it looks awesome. They’ve added moves, bosses, rooms, mini-games, and touch screen-based combat, plus a network mode. This is now officially at the top of my most wanted DS games list.
