Backlog Quest is a month long special event on Clearance Bin Review featuring daily game reviews of the games that have sat on the shelf for simply too long; old and new.
From Day 5 – Splatterhouse, Tristan Rendo writes, "Splatterhouse is a classic arcade game that Namco decided to reboot into a bloody free for all. Shot down by a perverted evil doctor, you know the type, trying to resurrect his dead wife by using your hot girlfriend and has a old mansion full of zombie monsters to stop you from saving her, you are forced to put on an ancient mask (called the Terror Mask) to save your life. Only the Terror Mask turns out to be evil (who would have guessed), turns you into a bulking rage monster that looks like the forbidden love child of Jason Voorhees and The Incredible Hulk, and then it does something really evil; it makes you play through the rest of Splatterhouse."
The PS3 era was a happy time, so let's look back on some of its games that flew well under the radar.
Sad that the team behind Dante inferno did not get their chance to finish the story. They had two other games planned
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
Remember Me
Folklore
Tales of Graces f
3D Dot Game Heroes
The Darkness
"I have always liked the idea of having a Doom-like "Splatterhouse" game. Well, now I (we) get the chance to experience a game like that, because "Splatterhouse 3D" is a really cool "Doom" mod that offers that very .experience" - Robin Ek, TGG.
Bloody Disgusting looks back at the gory hit Splatterhouse as it celebrates its 30th Birthday.
I give it a solid 8. Game was a lot of fun especially if you played the originals. Check out Amazon reviews for real user feedback. They all loved it.
Love these bargain bin reviews! Keep it up!
