I was all set to give Fatal Frame III the highest score of the series, something around an 8.5. I gave the second game an 8.3 for being well executed but sort of lacking in focus, and at first it seemed like Fatal Frame III was a distinct improvement. Sure, the third sequel in this […]
I finished Illbleed last night. It’s an interesting game for sure: the content is weird, the premise is unique, and its approach to horror is straight out of campy 1980s classics like Creepshow. It’s also a pretty good example of bad game design: it’s too complicated, the rules keep changing, and there are some points […]
I went to see The Descent last week despite knowing absolutely nothing about the film. I’d never seen a trailer or even a poster, but strong critical response convinced me to go. The Descent is about a group of thrill-seeking women who decide to go spelunking in a remote cave. They get pretty deep into […]
I watched a couple of horror movies lately, but I haven’t had a lot of time to write proper reviews for them. I’ve got quite a few films I want to see in my queue, but thanks to work I’ve not really had enough time to watch many of them. For the few I’ve seen […]
I finished up The Suffering: Ties that Bind yesterday. Overall I thought it was a pretty good successor to the original Suffering, though I thought it had a few play balancing problems. Check out my review.
I’ve just finished Darkwatch and posted a review. I liked the style and the setting for the game, and I thought that the controls were easy and smooth, but I wasn’t very impressed with the game overall. Check out my full review.
Last night I watched Wolf Creek. I didn’t know anything about this film going in, but I’d heard a few people recommend it so I gave it a shot. The film centers around three young vacationers who are traveling through the Australian outback on their way to Sydney. On the way they stop at Wolfe […]
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. […]
This evening I watched Don’t Look Now, a horror flick starring a young Donald Sutherland circa 1973. The story centers around an American couple living in Venice who have recently lost their daughter. It’s hard to describe exactly the events that unfold in this film, but the tension level is pretty high throughout the whole […]
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.
