Cold Fear

Platforms: PS2, Xbox, PC Release Date: 2005-03-15 Regions: USA Europe Chris’s Rating: ☆☆☆☆ A pretty but ultimately shallow and frustrating attempt at action-oriented horror. I’m not sure what to say about Cold Fear exactly. It’s got all the components of a good horror game, excellent graphics, and some genuinely creepy environments, and yet I can’t […]

Curse: The Eye of Isis

Platforms: PS2, Xbox, PC Release Date: 2003-12-08 Regions: USA Europe Chris’s Rating: ☆☆☆☆ A poor game with a couple of oddball, but ultimately ineffective, ideas. One of the best ways to learn about game design is to play games that aren’t fun. While parsing a good game can be difficult, it is much easier to […]
