"So it's all about the puzzles then, and the obvious point of reference here would be Half Life II, which many players still consider to be the undisputed king of physics-puzzling FPS action. Indeed in many ways still is. Whilst the integration of the physics system within the environment in Penumbra is certainly more deeply-ingrained, the puzzles themselves never quite reach the same level of ingenuity as the classic Valve title.
At the end of the day however, this is a different experience to almost any other first-person title out there, and for that reason alone we can definitely recommend any PC owner to give it a try. Give the downloadable demo for Black Plague a half-hours worth of play, and if you find yourself sucked in, go back to Overture and work your way through. Just be sure to turn off the lights before you enter the bunker."
Well, it’s that time of the year again. Mentions of spooky ghosts and creatures of the night hang in the air, and unknown horrors lurk around every corner.
Fear is one of the best adrenaline rushes you can experience.
Horror is a mixed bag, and there is a very thin line between games that try too hard to scare you, and games that don’t try hard enough.
Spend Halloween in front of your PC, playing these 5 scary games.
I know horror is subjective, but this is quite a .... strange selection of titles here. It seems a bit unfair to limit it to just 5 games.
0ne of the scariest games i have played recently is without a doubt Resident Evil 6.
I was terrified that i had wasted £40 on a crap game.
Spookily i waas correct.
You think that's bad? Imagine my fear when I realized I paid $60 for Resident Evil Raccoon City :0
Slender is scary for the first few minutes. Then you see the guy and it kinda kills it. It's hard to be realistically scared in a game where you get to respawn each time you die. The reason films successfully achieve horror is that you connect with the characters and once they're dead, they're dead.
Yeah, but films aren't as scary as games. Games can still scare me. No movie even sort of scares me.
If you get bored in normal Halloween activities, try playing some frightening video games!
List of horror games....not scary games, there 2 games I would consider scary on that list.
Yeah Stalker has some scary parts that far surpass almost every game on the list too
Left 4 Dead 2 and Resident Evil 5? Really?
Where's Fatal Frame or Siren? Or since they have Doom 3 take it back to Silent Hill or something.
