The Thing

Also known as: Yuusei Kara no Buutai X: Episode II Platforms: PS2, Xbox, PC Release Date: 2002-08-21 Regions: USA Japan Europe Chris’s Rating: ☆☆☆☆

Clock Tower 3

Platforms: PS2 Release Date: 2003-03-19 Regions: USA Japan Europe Chris’s Rating: ★★★☆ A solid, if simple, exercise in hide-and-seek scares and fantasy horror. Clock Tower 3 represents a departure from the Clock Tower formula. The previous three games (two on Playstation 1 and the one on SNES) all relied on point-and-click control schemes and complex […]

Silent Hill 2

Platforms: PS2, Xbox, PC Release Date: 2002-12-03 Regions: USA Japan Europe Chris’s Rating: ★★★★

Fatal Frame

Also known as: Rei Zero, Project Zero Platforms: PS2, Xbox Release Date: 2002-03-06 Regions: USA Japan Europe Chris’s Rating: ★★☆☆ Innovative combat mechanics and fantastic art direction makes for one of the best games in the horror genre. While there have been innumerable Resident Evil knock-offs, Silent Hill showed us that correctly executed atmospherics can […]

Illbleed

Platforms: Dreamcast Release Date: 2001-04-25 Regions: USA Japan Chris’s Rating: ☆☆☆☆ Campy and weird, Illbleed is an example of resource-management game play gone all wrong. Illbleed is hands-down the weirdest game I’ve played for this Quest. Everything about it is strange: the concept, the story, the presentation, the levels, even the control scheme is non-standard. […]

D2

Also known as: D no Shokutaku 2 Platforms: Dreamcast Release Date: 2000-08-22 Regions: USA Japan Chris’s Rating: ★★☆☆ An interesting but overly ambitious attempt at revolutionary horror-adventure game play. You got two meats. A complicated and interesting game, D2 is sort of the survival horror version of Shenmue. With huge levels, excellent graphics, and a […]

Carrier

Platforms: Dreamcast Release Date: 2000-03-01 Regions: USA Japan Europe Chris’s Rating: ☆☆☆☆ A model of mediocrity, Carrier is uninspired and formulaic. Carrier is the quintessential Resident Evil rip-off: it manages to copy the basic RE mechanics, add a few superfluous features to the mix, and venture off into amazingly mediocre territory. To understand Carrier, imagine […]

The Ring: Terror’s Realm

Also known as: The Ring Platforms: Dreamcast Release Date: 2000-09-27 Regions: USA Japan Chris’s Rating: ☆☆☆☆ The worst game of all time, I think.

D

Also known as: D no Shokutaku Platforms: PSX, Saturn, PC, 3DO Release Date: 1996-03-02 Regions: USA Japan Europe Chris’s Rating: ★☆☆☆ One of the only mid-1990s first person pre-rendered puzzle games worth remembering. D is sort of a Myst-style horror game. It is played from a first-person perspective, and is built exclusively out of pre-rendered […]
