I guess I wasn’t paying attention back in October, because Land of the Dead came out and I totally missed it. It’s not been doing well with the reviewers, however (a 1.9 from GameSpot, wohoo!), so maybe it’s no big loss. At 48%, it clocks in as the 3rd worst survival horror game ever.
I’ve just finished Indigo Prophecy (also known as Fahrenheit, which I think is a cooler name), a cinematic action-adventure game by French developer Quantic Dream. I’m posting about it here because it is probably of interest to readers of this site: though it’s not really a proper horror game, the creepy factor is pretty high […]
This totally made my morning. Capcom has posted a gameplay video of Resident Evil DS, and it looks awesome. They’ve added moves, bosses, rooms, mini-games, and touch screen-based combat, plus a network mode. This is now officially at the top of my most wanted DS games list.
The MagicBox has images of the three main characters available in the upcoming Siren 2. I cannot wait for this game to come out!

Colossus isn’t a horror game; if anything, it’s probably closest to a platformer. Created by the team behind […]

He’s included a how-to section for finding and playing import games, reviews of his favorite horror and non-horror obscure titles, links to useful import-related sites, and even a few save files for some of his favorite titles. Check […]
Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth is finally out, and the reviewers seem to like what they see. Fatal Frame 3 is also out, but is so far fairing a little worse (though there are still very few reviews–I’ll update the world score here when there are at least 10). Both look like […]
Resident Evil 4 is out on Playstation 2 today, and it’s been garnering some pretty high praise. Here’s what IGN has to say: It’s easily one of the top 10 PlayStation 2 games you can lay your hands on. For me, it’s probably one of my top 10 games of all-time. There’s so much to […]
