I’m still way behind because my computer is in the shop, but here’s some recent updates. For some reason they all involve zombie games. City of the Dead may or may not be cancelled. No confirmation yet. However, a new Romero horror game, Land of the Dead, has been announced. Stubbs the Zombie came out […]
My computer has either been taken by the dreaded Astwihad or it has suffered a hard disk failure. At any rate, I’m behind on a backlog of news and database updates. Everything should be in the right by next week. Here’s some quick news: Siren is becoming a movie! Here’s some info and pictures of […]
The Suffering: Ties That Bind came out late last month and the reviewers have pretty much agreed that it’s a little weaker than its predecessor. I’m still looking forward to this title because the original Suffering is one of the very few American horror games that actually worked pretty well without being campy.
Last night my friend and I finally finished Obscure after a four month hiatus. I’ve posted my thoughts on the info page. Though Obscure is a pretty run-of-the-mill horror game, its slight blandness is completely offset by the two-player cooperative mode. And lurking under the hood of this French horror game are some imaginative and […]
This evening I finally got around to finishing The X-Files: Resist or Serve.

I still can’t get over that Resident Evil DS screen. The awesomeness overwhelms me. The real reason for this post is that The Magic Box has posted craploads of images from the new Ada side quest included in the PS2 version of Resident Evil 4. Looks pretty cool.
Thanks to DS News (and Kotaku) for posting some scans from Resident Evil DS. The scans are here and here. It’s apparently a remake of the original game, 1996 graphics and all, with a first person combat mode thrown in to justify the dual screen system.
Sony has released an annoyingly short video teaser of Siren 2. There’s very little to see but it still looks awesome, and the end of the video reports that the game will be out this winter. That rocks.
Ushinawareta Kioku (Lost Memories) is a Japanese chronicle of Silent Hill. A translation is now available for your viewing pleasure. It’s quite lengthy, but also very interesting.
I have to say that Demonik is about the stupidest name for a game ever. That said, the MagicBox has new screens.
