Every couple of months I pull out a game that I’ve started but never completed. I play these games for a while, make some progress, then put them down again, sometimes for months. Usually these are games that just never grabbed me (like Extermination), or games that I was playing before I got interrupted by […]
Japanese game magazine Famitsu recently published an article called “The Heart of Horror Games” (part of their regular “The Heart of…” series). I’ll post a bit more about the article itself later, but first I wanted to relate the list of horror games that they came up with. You’ll notice a lot of similarities to […]
Kotaku has some impressions and a trailer for a new zombie-themed game, Dead Island. Information is still pretty sparse, but the video is kind of neat.
Kotaku has some leaked Silent Hill 0rigins footage up this morning. Looking good Climax, just don’t screw it up!

Thanks to Kotaku for this post about Dementium: The Ward, a new horror game for the Nintendo DS. It looks pretty good (especially considering how well other non-horror adventure games have turned out on that system), and I’m really happy to see people exploring horror themes on a handheld. I’ll definitely pick this up when […]
