Also known as: Rei: Beni Chou Platforms: PS2, Xbox Release Date: 2003-12-10 Regions: USA Japan Chris’s Rating: ★★★☆ This sequel perfects the format defined by the first Fatal Frame, and its unique game mechanics are complemented by fantastic art and atmosphere. If you liked the first Fatal Frame, you’ll enjoy Fatal Frame 2. The mechanics […]
Platforms: PS2 Release Date: 2004-03-16 Regions: USA Europe Chris’s Rating: ☆☆☆☆ A textbook example of what you get when you treat game design as a list of features taken from other popular games (hint: it’s not good). X-Files: Resist or Serve is sort of a mess. I can see the feature list on some producer’s […]

Platforms: SNES, PSX Release Date: 1995-09-14 Regions: Japan Chris’s Rating: ★★★★ A fantastic example of the way that quality horror games require neither advanced technology nor action-oriented game play. Japan only. English ROM patch available at: http://agtp.romhack.net/clocktow.html This is the original Clock Tower game by Human Entertainment. You control young Jennifer, an orphan who finds […]

Describing how Resident Evil 0 works is a little difficult. It has a whole bunch of crazy new features that set […]

Also known as: Forbidden Siren Platforms: PS2 Release Date: 2003-11-06 Regions: USA Japan Europe Chris’s Rating: ★★★★ Extremely innovative–and extremely difficult–entry into the horror game hall of fame. A masterpiece for those who can muscle their way through it. Siren is a really interesting game. It is quite clearly survival horror, and yet it is […]
Platforms: PS2, Xbox, PC Release Date: 2004-03-08 Regions: USA Europe Chris’s Rating: ★★★☆ Action-centric horror done right; The Suffering is an excellent American response to the Japanese genre heavyweights. The Suffering is very much an American response to the Japanese horror formula. The game has clearly been influenced by the likes of Devil May Cry […]

Platforms: PS2 Release Date: 2003-12-05 Regions: USA Europe Chris’s Rating: ★★★☆ A light-hearted shooter dressed up as horror that’s more fun than it should be. I expected Ghosthunter to be a pretty terrible game. The design of the main character was boring (goatees usually equate to angst and generic rage), the title seemed uninspired, and […]
