Wow, an update after several weeks of radio silence. Sorry everybody, work has been increasingly demanding lately. Also, I’ve been playing through Michigan, which has not proven very post-worthy. Anyway, I thought I’d tell you guys about some horror movies I watched recently. Pulse (Kairo) finally came out in the US. I guess they are […]
I finished Kuon this weekend, and I’ve posted a review. Despite some good graphics, creepy atmosphere, and neat character design, I thought Kuon was pretty weak. The game play is extremely simple and there’s only about four hours of unique content (which you are required to traverse several times). I was hoping to like this […]
A while back I watched The Eye, a Chinese movie directed by brothers Oxide Pang Chun and Danny Pang, about a woman who has surgery to restore her eyesight and also ends up with the ability to see ghosts. Despite its promising first half, The Eye pretty much fell apart at the end, which was […]
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 […]
Today I had a few hours to kill, so I watched Uzumaki. Uzumaki is yet another post-Ring Japanese horror flick that probably would not have warranted American release if fanboys like myself were not creating demand for Japanese horror. Adapted from a manga series by the same name, Uzumaki (which means “spiral” or “vortex”) is […]
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. The game is basically a Resident Evil: Code Veronica knock-off, but it manages to mess up some of the basic game play while simultaneously doing a disservice to the X-Files license. I’ve read that the development of this game was plagued with […]
Now that I got my features section working for my most recent article, I decided to upload a bunch of other stuff I’ve written in the last few years. Among other things I’ve added an in-depth review of D2 and a rant about the weirdest game ever. I’d like to write stuff like this on […]
I watched Ju-Rei last night (Japanese title is actually kuro jurei (), lit. “black vengeful ghost”), which is a Japanese horror film by Koji Shiraishi. This movie is only interesting because it is like a catalog of Japanese horror movie elements, mostly ripped from much better films like Ring and Juon. The movie unfolds in […]
This evening I completed Silent Hill 4, and I’ve posted by thoughts on the info page. I finished the game in 8 hours with 38 (!) saves. I found all the notes and received 13 stars. I don’t know if that is good or not. I got the “Mother” ending, which seemed pretty good (it […]
