"Howdy. My name is Mark Wood, I'm an FX Artist on Project Origin. I handle all of the special effects in a game, from particle effects to modeling chunks of debris to painting full-screen overlay textures. I get to make all the whiz-bang flashy shit, like exploding barrels, weapons fire effects, reducing human bodies to bloody chunks, spooky ghosts, metal sparks, smoke clouds… you get the idea.
Of course, for every one cool explosion, I get ten glamorous (pronounced "monkey-work") tasks like adding dust to door animations and making little water splashes when the players walk through puddles. It balances out, yeah? FX Artist is kind of a niche job in the games industry, but as the current generation of game consoles continues to push the bar for realism and visual quality, the need for quality FX grows with it. We strive to maintain a high standard of art quality here at m'Lith, and our FX are no exception."
WTMG's Kyle Nicol: "Whilst F.E.A.R 2 wasn’t the masterpiece I remembered from ten years ago, with its combat and level design being worse than the original, it is still a fun game that is well worth playing through today. "

PSU continues its look at the horror genre over the past 20 years on PlayStation platforms, with our latest entry looking at the tail end of the PS2 era and into a new generation with the release of the PS3. Resident Evil 4, Dead Space, Siren: Blood Curse, and F.E.A.R. are just some of the pant-wetting pleasures you'll find in part 3.

"With Halloween just around the corner, TheKoalition.com has decided to list some horror games which petrified us the most.
Please note that this list is in no particular order. Each selection has been made by individual writers who found their respective choice their most terrifying experience in gaming."
I mostly agree with those except with Alan Wake, it wasnt scary at all.
But a great list overall.
I've played all games on the list. Alan wakes was intense at certain moments not scary. Fatal Frame; I was quite young then it got me scared shit less(damn camera). The evil within was ok but Resident evil scared me more back in the day (maybe its because I got older, dont know).
As for PT? ok...I advice people NOT to use surround headsets whie playing this...Jesus... I could hear her moan behind me right on top of my ear at times and I could for the life of me turn around...mind f***
But my god does Alien Isolation raise my heart beat. When you're being chased by the xenomorph and you know you are totally defenseless against it can scare the bejesus out of you, things get worse when you realize that running for it when you encounter the beast makes things worse, yeah...
That said Silent hill 2 was scary as shit as well, especially when the Pyramid head chased you...
