Gale writes - "Decay: The Mare is a short but sweet horror adventure with fairly logical and straightforward puzzles. Its setting is horrifying and “characters” obscure, which set the tone of the game perfectly. The creeping dread it transpires is vastly different from what horror games usually try to convey, and we should embrace the fact that Silent Hill isn’t the only game doing this stuff. However, The Mare’s staggeringly low-res backgrounds might very well make your eyes bleed. Which is actually kind of appropriate, in a disgustingly terrifying way."
Gareth B writes: "The best kind of horror is the horror you don’t see, hear, or even quite understand.
Stephen Spielberg kept the shark hidden until the end of Jaws, and when you saw what it really was, a rubber prop, the fear suddenly subsided. The most recent Alien movies have told us what the aliens are, what they like to eat, their thoughts on fashion, and no doubt their favourite music. That in turn has seen them become a lot less scary.
Decay - The Mare opens up lots of questions before you even load up the game, but does it keep the fear factor alive? Or is it as scary as Mr Bobby on a Saturday night in the 1990s?"
Neil writes "Friday the 13th has got a lot to answer for. First we had confirmation that the super scary The Evil Within 2 was here, and now we're being notified that it's time to get stuck in an endless nightmare. Yep, Decay - The Mare is available right now."

''The Steam week long days are here and there’s a few gems to be had.
TimeShift – £2.49
imeShift flew under the radars of many people since its 2007 release. It may not look all that great, but the gameplay mechanics are still fresh.''
It's been a while since I've played Time Shift. Guess I need to find my copy for 360.
Gotta love Steam sales, though the consoles are starting to push some interesting deals out too! Still, Steam has been doing it well for so long.
