Eurogamer writes: "The apocalypse has never been more popular. While literary figures such as Cormac McCarthy and Margaret Atwood give us grim, cautionary novels like The Road and The Year of the Flood, movies like John Hillcoat's adaptation of The Road, The Book of Eli (written by erstwhile games journo Gary Whitta) and even 9, the Tim Burton-produced CGI tale of sentient soft toys being hunted by machines, are all coming soon. In games, Bethesda's long-lived Fallout 3 will soon be joined by Valve bringing us more survivalism in Left 4 Dead 2, and both id and Gearbox are honing open-world, RPG-tinged, Mad Max-style first-person shooter."
Today is Halloween, for those who prefer to spend their Halloween curled up with some scary entertainment, this list was made just for you. October might be the end to the warm weather but it’s the beginning of a wonderful season. The leaves are transforming from greens to bright orange and reds, reminding us that change can be absolutely beautiful. The entire month smells like warm spices and pumpkin pie, and most importantly, it’s the month of Halloween. Dentists might be cringing at the thought of cavities caused by sugar rich sweets, but the rest of us want to get our thrills in a different way.
We searched grave yards, abandoned houses and post apocalyptic wastelands to bring you the scariest MMOs we could dig up (pun intended).
This episode of The Sandbox features discussion on the upcoming alpha test for Albion Online, as well as news updates for games such as Fallen Earth, Perpetuum Online, and ArchAge.
