Game Podunk: Preview of Cursed Mountain

Deep Silver brings chilling fear to the Wii this August.

Cursed Mountain places you in a unique setting: you play as Eric Simmons, an experience explorer and mountain climber, who travels to the Himalayas in search of his missing brother, Frank.

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.
