Revenge of the License: The Thing
Michael Crisman writes, "The final installment of this column prior to Halloween saved the best for last. There’s no denying John Carpenter’s “The Thing” from 1982 is a master class in claustrophobic paranoia. Forget the 2011 prequel and turn your attention to the 2002 sequel, developed with Carpenter’s blessing as a continuation/expansion of the events from the movie on its 20th anniversary. It’s far from perfect, but damn if Black Label Games doesn’t do the best they can with the materials and time they had. If The Thing doesn’t stop your heart and scare the pants off you at least once while playing, I don’t know what to say. Maybe you’re already infected and you don’t even know it."
