When done right, horror-based video games are just as thrilling as the latest scare-fest in theaters. When they go wrong, they are more laughable and unbearable than a low-budget student horror flick. With terrible pacing, cheesy moments, and lousy mechanics, these titles represent what happens when a game tries to be scary and fails spectacularly. Sure, they may send shivers down your spine or make your heart skip a beat...but for all the wrong reasons.
Geist was a GameCube exclusive released back in 2005. The game had a middling reception, but a solid and unique concept.
The 'Sega Sickener' was an infamous article printed by the Daily Mail concerning the release of the videogame Night Trap on the Sega Mega CD.
Well all press is good press.. until it is not. After decades were basically still there, some makes an article which makes it sound more horrible than it is and people getting outraged and boot up their twitters.
If there is somepoint new tomb raider, i guess she is wearing a veil and no death scenes. Only enemies are robotzombies and your weapon is megaphone where you can tell how to recycle and not pollute.
Back in 2000, Capcom released Resident Evil: Survivor, a first person light-gun game for PlayStation One. GameSpew revisits the first ever Resident Evil game to be presented in first person.
FMV, lingerie clad women's sports team, drilling (with a 1/2" bit) into peoples' neck to siphon blood, and lots of vampires... Night Trap was a lot of fun. Not scary in the horror sense, but most "horror" games at that time were not actually scary. For a young kid the combination of video based sex and violence in a game was really fun, but not scary.
since when geist is a horror game?
