Happy Halloween Everybody! Why not celebrate by curling up with the original Night of the Living Dead, available for free download/stream in all its glory. Or, if that’s not your cup of tea, how about translations of classic Japanese horror stories (my favorites include Yuki-Onna and Mimi-Nashi Hoichi) by Lafcadio Hearn? I totally ripped off […]
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 […]

I’ve been itching to write a few more articles for the site, in the vein of the feature on character design that I posted a few months back. Like the previous article, I’d like to focus on one aspect of horror games and sort of write a stream-of-consciousness about how they help induce fear in […]
