Bloody Disgusting lists the ten greatest and most influential horror video games of this generation.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
An executive of Electronic Arts Japan has criticised the Japanese video game ratings board for allowing upcoming action game Stellar Blade to be released uncensored while EA's own Dead Space was banned in the country.
He’s got a point. If a game is M-Rated, which is the equivalent of an R rating, I don’t get why you need to censor anything. The rating is the indicator of the content and the age appropriate. If it’s appropriate for adults… why treat them like children? 🤷♂️
I don't know if the EA executive is going off the one close up of an arm being cut off in the demo. Maybe it's uncensored because it's the arm of a cyborg or it doesn't happen that often (didn’t see EVE dismemberment when killed in the demo) .
In the states there's a certain amount of swear words allowed to a PG13 movie before it is deemed R. So maybe it's the same in Japan for gore?
CGM Writes: While we were over at PAX East, we were able to sit down with Goichi Suda (Suda51) and talk about the upcoming remaster of Shadows of the Damned
Condemned.
Probably tops my list as the scariest game this gen.
Nice to see Bloody Disgusting getting a nod on this site! They are my "go to" site for horror.
Glad to see Shadows Of the Damned make an appearance on this list but I am very VERY surprised to see nothing about Cry Of Fear for PC. I'd say it was my absolute favourite this generation and top 5 of all-time. If you guys haven't played this masterpiece you should get a move on.......
well its hard to call this list a horror games, since many games of it isnt horror.. but overall games are good in it.. Shadows of the damned deserve more love, amazing game..
anyway, my list:
Siren: blood curse
Fatal frame IV (aka Project zero IV)
Cry of fear
Outlast
Deadly premonition
Resident Evil: revelations
Lone survivor (yep, its survival horror) :)
