The demo was done very well. This game may be one of the best survival horror games in some time.

yeah, it's uber creepy. love the art direction in the game

JsonHenry5753d ago

I am glad some people like it. To me it is just lame and not scary at all. The enemies make weird noises that are NOT scary in the slightest, and it is pretty easy to tell when something is going to jump out at you (kinda like on Doom3)

If you want a truly creepy game, wait for Silent Hill Homecoming.

meepmoopmeep5753d ago

i'm getting SHH when it comes out.

but Siren was awesome for that small demo. i'm sure it gets even more creepy by looking at some of the trailers.

the enemies are more creepy looking than anything Silent Hill though. Japanese people are good in that area. (The Ring)
i'm really into the macabre so Siren is awesome to me.

If you think the Silent Hill games are creepy you should definitely check it out. The creator of the first two Silent Hills (which were the best ones IMO) made this game.

But why do they keep calling this a remake of the first siren? It's not a remake!

Have just played the first two episodes but so far there are many striking resemblances with the first game. It's not an exact copy but there are enough resemblances to justify it being a remake.

yup it is and its too dark that i cant even see where im going, anyways the graphics is awesome considering its on psn, but im not into horror games. lol

Raoh5753d ago

i cant wait to get home and download it. although i would have rather go to my local game store and purchase a blu ray copy.. i'm wondering if its worth it just to import from japan...

i still cant get a straight answer about if hte japanese blu ray has english text and audio

KidMakeshift5753d ago

I bought the chinese import of Siren (has english options from what I've heard) and kind of regret it because it cost more and that I have to wait about two weeks before it arrives. It's killing me. This might be my favorite game this year

TL245753d ago

Well i've only got 10GB left on my PS3 so downloading the game is out of the question for me! lol

ZombieNinjaPanda5753d ago

Sitting there at about 9 playing it. It's dark outside, lights off, and playing a horror game.

That zombie lady ran at me. I almost screamed! Okay I did a little...^^

Anyway this game is scary, I can tell that much. It's really fun too!

8 Best Horror Game Remakes

If you're going to relive a nightmare, you might as well do it right.

One thing that's been prevalent now more than ever is video game remakes. Dormant series like Prince of Persia, Splinter Cell, and System Shock aren't first getting brand-new sequels but remakes of the classic entries. Horror titles are no exception, with the recent Resident Evil, Dead Space, and Silent Hill remakes.

Putting aside whether these remakes are necessary, most of them are excellent. They can expand and enrich the world with added details, improve gameplay mechanics, or put more focus on the story. Standard remakes will count, but story remakes or reimaginings will also be included.

If Castlevania is there as an Horror Game then Demon's Souls should be there as well.

Also, you might want to add Shadow of the Colossus there too. Where you play as a mass murdering genocidal maniac on a warpath.
