Review by Chris Kohler:
"I've got a great idea: How about I take this review and split it up into 12 different blog posts? You'll get exactly the same content, but with a bunch of annoying busy work standing between you and the review.
Sound ridiculous? Well, that's exactly what Sony did with Siren: Blood Curse for PlayStation 3. It's a big-budget survival horror game -- and a creepy, awesome one at that -- but somewhere along the line it became a guinea pig for the "episodic content" bandwagon. It's been split up into 12 parts and offered up on the PS3's direct download store. You have to buy them in packages of four episodes each, or buy all of them at once at a discount. Here's the punch line: No matter how you purchase them, you have to download 12 individual files and install each of them to your PS3's hard drive, a laborious and time-consuming process.
Siren's distribution system is thoroughly broken, which is sad considering the game itself is solid. It's a legitimately scary breakneck sprint through a town full of living corpses that blends stealth, action, puzzle-solving and tense chase sequences into an entertaining, if brief, adventure."
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.
Wasn't this meant to save storage space on a console with ever increasing number of games requiring mandatory installs the same as Metal Gear only installs the chapter you are playing?
Time consuming? Not for me. I downloaded an episode, played it and while doing so had the other episodes downloading at the same time.
Really, this is a means to B*tch and nothing more. You can't play the 1st chapter and 2nd chapter faster than it takes to download the 3rd one. not on my connection anyways.
In total it took me 2 hours to get all 12 downloaded. I don't see the problem at all.
Oh, I get it. I get it. It's because it's so much fun watching them download instead of playing them, right chris? You stupid ass!
...What a pathetic review.
More Sony bashing FTL.
