Penumbra: Black Plague is a prime example of this. The second game in the Penumbra series makes key improvements over its predecessor, which makes Black Plague a decidedly better game."
Well, it’s that time of the year again. Mentions of spooky ghosts and creatures of the night hang in the air, and unknown horrors lurk around every corner.
Fear is one of the best adrenaline rushes you can experience.
Horror is a mixed bag, and there is a very thin line between games that try too hard to scare you, and games that don’t try hard enough.
Spend Halloween in front of your PC, playing these 5 scary games.
I know horror is subjective, but this is quite a .... strange selection of titles here. It seems a bit unfair to limit it to just 5 games.
0ne of the scariest games i have played recently is without a doubt Resident Evil 6.
I was terrified that i had wasted £40 on a crap game.
Spookily i waas correct.
You think that's bad? Imagine my fear when I realized I paid $60 for Resident Evil Raccoon City :0
Slender is scary for the first few minutes. Then you see the guy and it kinda kills it. It's hard to be realistically scared in a game where you get to respawn each time you die. The reason films successfully achieve horror is that you connect with the characters and once they're dead, they're dead.
Yeah, but films aren't as scary as games. Games can still scare me. No movie even sort of scares me.
If you get bored in normal Halloween activities, try playing some frightening video games!
List of horror games....not scary games, there 2 games I would consider scary on that list.
Yeah Stalker has some scary parts that far surpass almost every game on the list too
Left 4 Dead 2 and Resident Evil 5? Really?
Where's Fatal Frame or Siren? Or since they have Doom 3 take it back to Silent Hill or something.
