Yesterday I got up at 4:30 AM, got in my car, and drove to the airport. I managed to park my car in the wrong lot, and had to trek on foot between terminals. Despite having left so early, I ended up just barely making my flight. I arrived at LAX at about 8:00 AM, […]
I’m off to E3 tomorrow. Though the conference runs for three days, this year I have decided to visit for only a single day. After six or seven hours in the Los Angeles Convention Center I find myself almost unable to stand and mostly deaf. Last year I posted a lengthy rant about the direction […]
Joystiq.com has an interesting tidbit about the next Alone in the Dark game. Apparently it will be split into a series of TV-like episodes, with an entire “season” coming on the disk. I guess the idea is to break the narrative up into short 45 minute segments, which is an interesting approach. Hopefully I’ll get […]
I went and saw Silent Hill today. I’ll try to write a spoiler-free review that describes how I feel about it. As you might expect, the Silent Hill movie has a lot of elements of the Silent Hill games. In fact, it is not difficult to classify the movie as a collection of such elements. […]
You might not know that in between creating Resident Evil and Resident Evil 2, Capcom actually developed another RE game. The game, now referred to as Resident Evil 1.5, was scrapped due to problems with the direction, and Capcom produced RE2 instead. Anyway, there’s a pretty cool video of RE 1.5 that you can watch. […]
Warning: long, sort of pointless rant that has very little to do with horror game follows. If you read this site often you might have noticed a recurring theme in my rants: I’m of the opinion that the video game industry is shooting itself in the foot with its death march towards computational perfection. Every […]
When I initially posted about THE Zombie VS Ambulance, I knew in the back of my mind that it was only a matter of time before I purchased the game. This kind of thing is like crack-cocaine to me: it’s horror-themed and it looks absolutely awful, a deadly combination that feeds my insatiable appetite for […]
Thanks very much to forums member ijm000 for his generous donation of Necronomicon: The Dawning of Darkness. This is a game that I know absolutely nothing about, but based on the box and ijm000’s review, it is probably an excellent match for the forums. Thanks ijm000! Also, I’m still alive, but I’m heading out on […]
I just got back from a tiring week at GDC. Actually it was quite a bit of fun, but standing around all day for three days straight can make the soles of your feet hurt a lot. This year I didn’t really get to any sessions that are related to this site. I really wanted […]
So I finished Michigan last night, and I’ve posted a review today. I really don’t have anything good to say about this game, except that it was amusing in the same way seeing somebody walk into a pole can be amusing.
