From Nintendo Now:
Cursed Mountain might seem like a cheap Resident Evil rip-off to the casual observer. And we're talking old Resident Evil here. The kind with the puzzles and the exploration and the scare tactics that could hit you at every corner. As you delve deeper into this Mountain, you'll find it is actually a realistic game that deals very much with the spiritual side of Buddhism along with the usual obstacles that you've come to expect in this kind of game. In the survival horror category, it has more in common with psychological thrillers like Silent Hill and Eternal Darkness than with blasting zombies and monsters. The cinematic air Deep Silver, the developer, provides makes up for some of the many gameplay hiccups you'll encounter, but in the end it just isn't enough. The problems might have been glossed over or forgiven several years ago, but not now.

There’s a polar vortex sweeping across the country, The Day After Tomorrow style, and unless you’re brave enough to risk instantly freezing as soon as you step outside — like those poor helicopter pilots, they will be missed — the only escape is through video games. Or Dennis Quaid. Since we’re in for a deep freeze, with most of the country already enduring ridiculously low temperatures, I thought I’d come up with a list of horror games we can all enjoy.
"the only escape is through video games. Or Dennis Quaid" lol
I haven't played Dead Space 3, I thought about renting it, but I didn't like DS2 very much, absolutely LOVED DS1, i've heard many times DS3 is even worser sequel
Starting a horror games list by mentioning Dead Space 3.. it's enough to make horror fans weep.
Tom Towers and Phil Fog return to their Big Show format, this time devoting an entire show to survival horror!
Rob Lowzak from Power Level Marketing drops by to drop knowledge about the history of horror. Rob is an expert on the genre and a regular speaker at Spooky Empire's Ultimate Horror Weekend, formerly known as Screamfest.
Gaming's unique take on horror bears mentioning, and so too does the political history of Rule of Rose.
All of the above comes together with Game Under's regular impressions, but this time with a horror twist: Left 4 Dead 2, Deadly Premonition: Director's Cut, Cursed Mountain and Alan Wake.
The scariest night of the year is now only two days away, a horrifying evening when strange children knock at the door and refuse to leave without a toll of sweets and candy. It's also the time of year when we willingly scare ourselves witless by playing frightening video games.
To finish off a week-long series of fond Wii remembrances, Nintendo Life wants to highlight some titles from the system's back-catalogue that are perfect for this time of year. It suggests turning out the lights, basking in the tiny blue glow of the Wii power switch and trying these titles this Halloween.
