Richard Wakeling:
''The original Siren (Forbidden Siren in Europe) was released on the PlayStation 2 back in 2003 when it was competing with survival horror's best: Silent Hill and Resident Evil. Now, in 2008, things are a little bit different for the PlayStation 3 remake, Siren: Blood Curse, as it becomes the first horror game on the system.
To get a hold of it you'll need to purchase it from the PlayStation store in one of two ways: either a full game download, or by chapter. Much like this year's Alone In The Dark, Siren: Blood Curse is set up a lot like an American television show; it's spilt into twelve separate episodes arranged into chapters, so if you want you can download one chapter pack at a time. Although it's cheaper to buy them all in one.''
The WellPlayed team has come together to share which video games they’d like to see turned into a TV show.
If you're going to relive a nightmare, you might as well do it right.
One thing that's been prevalent now more than ever is video game remakes. Dormant series like Prince of Persia, Splinter Cell, and System Shock aren't first getting brand-new sequels but remakes of the classic entries. Horror titles are no exception, with the recent Resident Evil, Dead Space, and Silent Hill remakes.
Putting aside whether these remakes are necessary, most of them are excellent. They can expand and enrich the world with added details, improve gameplay mechanics, or put more focus on the story. Standard remakes will count, but story remakes or reimaginings will also be included.
If Castlevania is there as an Horror Game then Demon's Souls should be there as well.
Also, you might want to add Shadow of the Colossus there too. Where you play as a mass murdering genocidal maniac on a warpath.
Forget jump scares; if you’re looking for a scary game to play this Halloween, you need to sit down with one of these great psychological horror games. Let the feeling of unease creep beneath your skin as you absorb yourself in the unnerving worlds of these incredible games.
These are our best psychological horror games of all time.
