IncGamers - Cursed Mountain Review

IncGamers' Spanner Spencer is haunted by his experiences on Cursed Mountain.

From the article: "First of all, Cursed Mountain scores bonus points for not only bringing a horror game to the sickeningly family-friendly Wii (terminally single men like to wave motion sensitive controllers about the place too, you know) but for making a sincere effort to break the monotonies this genre has been bogged down with lately."

Sounds like Project Zero/Fatal Frame in terms of atmosphere, if not actual mechanics. Which is a shame, as I think that series has some of the better survival horror mechanics going.

Chazmers5344d ago

here i was hoping it would match up to the best mature title of the wii, resi evil 4. still a good score though

Leord5344d ago

It's a good score, and since there's so few "adult" games for the Wii. it's an excellent addition.

I agree Leord. This is one reason my Wii doesn't see the light of day.

"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.

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.
