I finished Silent Hill 0rigins the other day. It’s a solid Silent Hill game, absolutely worthy of inclusion in the series. Though it’s technically a prequel to the original Silent Hill, it plays like an amalgam of every game in the series. The locations and progression through Silent Hill are very similar to the original […]
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, […]
I’ve put about an hour into Silent Hill: 0rigins so far and I’m having a pretty good time. This game is different from the rest of the Silent Hill series because it’s exclusive to the PSP and was developed by Climax rather than Konami, and I think a lot of people were worried that the […]
This evening I finished Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth and posted a review. Basically, this is an extremely well-made game that has one major problem: the game play isn’t fun. I was really disappointed by this one, as so much opportunity is wasted. Oh well, see the full review for angst-filled details.
I know I’ve been fairly negative lately about the games I am playing. I really don’t want to just hate everything that comes my way and hold it up to some impossible golden standard, but damn, there’s been so much disappointment in my gaming life lately. Take Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth, […]
One thing about having a kid is that you don’t sleep very much. But for me, that means that I’ve had some time to play some video games in between cuddling my daughter, feeding her, and generally trying to let her Mom get some sleep in the wee hours of the morning. For some reason […]
Playstation Museum has a nice summary of Resident Evil 1.5, the unreleased precursor to Resident Evil 2. The YouTube video is already offline, but the overview and screenshots are very nice. On a more personal note, I became a father this past Sunday! I don’t really use this space to talk about myself very much, […]
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.
