Alan Martin: "Whichever way you look at it, The Path is a phenomenal experience that has already generated huge amounts of debate over its adult content on message boards and forums. A lot of the discomfort can come straight down to the fact that the unsettling loss of innocence only happens when you, the gamer, decide to ignore the advice of the game and actively seek it out. As a reviewer I can quell the discomfort by stating that I had to experience everything it had to offer - but for others, The Path has succeeded if it makes you question your own role in the girl's fate. And if it's achieved that then it's succeeded in becoming art, even if the crucial gaming element still eludes it somewhat."

10 awesome and obscure horror games you probably haven't heard of. What offbeat horror games do you love? Let us know in the comments!
Eternal Darkness is pretty popular. A better entry would've been Clock Tower.
I have Haunting Ground on the PS2 and Siren Blood Curse on the PS3. Both of those games are pretty good.
DeSpiria for the Dreamcast it's a strange horror RPG evolving around a special agent sent to discover an underground cult. It's set in a dystopian future after World War III which leads to some serious creepy atmosphere. The character designs are questionable but it flourishes in monster design and disturbing music (which would have been so much better in full-length but tracks are limited to 20 second loops.) I await the day I am fluent in my Japanese studies so I can play this game in it's entirety.
