Sega has just been awarded a first in the UK where one of its games has been stamped with an Adults Only 18 rating by the British Board of Film Classification. Why is it a first? Because the game is exclusive to Kinect, making this the first hands-free adults only game for Microsoft’s Xbox 360 motion controller.
The game in question is Rise of Nightmares, and from watching the trailer above you can see why it’s just for adults from the sound effects alone. The BBFC says the game has 45 minutes of cutscenes which are sure to be pretty gruesome if they awarded it the highest possible age rating.
Jack writes: "First released in September 2011, SEGA’s Rise of Nightmares was made especially for Kinect on Xbox 360. Among the range of games available for the peripheral, it is the least likely title ever made for the Kinect - there’s no dancing, no pets, no sports. (Though by its end, hacking through hordes of re-animated corpses here starts to feel like a sport.)"
rise of nightmares would make a good VR game. Surprised Sega didnt try and remaster it for PSVR. Or... maybe they are working on doing that for PSVR2????
considering SEGA hasn't made a single title yet for PSVR, I can't imagine why they would pick this one to start TBH.
Not saying I wouldn't love it as I'm a huge horror fan.

I have, I’ve been burned numerous times, and it never gets any easier. This problem isn’t limited to our favorite TV shows, video games can cause that same abrupt stop, and it often hurts just as much.
As much as I’d like to see another entry in the Condemned, Dino Crisis, or The Suffering series, at the very least, those games got one or more sequels. I’ve decided to eschew horror games that have already seen a follow-up in favor for those that haven’t — the one-offs that deserve to be more than that.
I don't think Alan Wake needs a sequel it would probably just kill it. Alan Wake was good because of its originality, American Nightmare wasn't nearly as good.

3rd time this has been submitted. No other games coming to Kinect or something?
I'm actually excited about this game :)
More then "Oh just a cool Kinect game" It's an excitement just like any other type of game I was interested in.
this is about as casual as can be. On rails, arm flailing, shitting gameplay, bad story
that looks awful..
Looks like silent hill on rails.
They even rip-off the nurse seen in 0:15.
In the end the rating is meaningless. Is there any word on how this game plays? Does it actually let you explore or is it on rails? If it's the latter then I don't see any reason to get excited over this. Kinect has yet to show me that it's a capable hardcore gaming peripheral.
