Going "Old-school" + Semi-review

Hello guys!

So my computer is running slow, which means I won't be able to finish Amnesia anytime soon. But I recently picked up my pile of PS2 games. (No, I don't have a Next Gen console like PS3 or Xbox360... Yet).

I did find some of my old horror games and I'm going to list them here and you guys can tell me in the comments if you'd like me to try and get through some of them.

Survival horror games:

• Fatal Frame 1 (Project Zero 1)
• Fatal Frame 3: The Tormented 
• Forbidden Siren 2
• Resident Evil 4
• Silent Hill 2
• Silent Hill: Origins

Other semi-horror related games:

• Darkwatch
• Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick
• Ghosthunter
• The Thing

I do have one more game that I would like to add to the list:

• Echo Night: Beyond

Now you guys might either think:
"What?" or "Psh, that's not scary at all."
Well, it did provide me with some scares, but it's not a quality pearl like the games you see today. But the reason I mentioned is 1) I've already completed it and 2) It's actually a really interesting game, if you just put your mind into it.
The plot is kinda simple: You and your fiancée are on your way to the moon. (It's Japanese...) Some paranormal force makes your space shuttle crashes into the moon-base and kills almost everybody. You wake up alone and alive, but as you soon figure out: Everybody else is still there! And it's your job to help them "move on" and of course find your girl.
As you walk around the base you meet the ghosts of different people, some are good and some turned evil by a strange mist. There's no way of defending yourself, if you encounter an evil spirit, your heart-rate will rise until you have a heart attack. So your option is to run or outsmart the ghost.

There are so many great things about the game and you connect with the people you help.
I can't tell you how many time I've made a satisfactory sigh as a ghost vanished in a blinding white light. I want to tell you about the ending, but I would ruin it for you. I'll just say that I'm actually very proud of having this in my collection and it's definitely a game I'll play again.

Well, that was it for today, I'll see you later

Sorry

Hey guys,

I'm back again! I know it's been a while, but I've been busy with tests in school.

I'll get back to reviews very soon, I have a lot of new great movies that I can't wait to see!
I might also do some of my ideas, but that will have to wait until I've planned it out.
I'm also still in the process of playing Amnesia: The Dark Descent and I can tell you that it's quite scary, but only if you let yourself take on the role of the main character. I'm not done yet, as I haven't played it lately, but I'll let you know how it progresses.
In the meantime you can go check out a user on YouTube called 'shirtfag'. He's collected a lot of creepy videos, some are awesome, some are hilarious, some are classics and some are just plain weird/dumb.

It's not the best thing I've seen, but it's a nice addendum to the Creepypasta website I linked to earlier. I hope you'll enjoy some of them. I did.

Short Update

I'm here with some news:

I've arranged all my horror-movies in different genres, as to better categorize and structure future ideas of reviews.

Next, I've come up with some review-specials, these include:
Originals vs. Remakes - Original movies reviewed and set up against the remakes. Which one will win?
Found Footage Films - A "history" of the Found Footage-genre. All the way back from Cannibal Holocaust to the recent films, like Paranormal Activity.
Masters of Horror Run - I'll go through the whole first season of Masters of Horror.

I might also review some really nasty Rape-and-Revenge movies for you.

Until next time!

You want Creepypasta?

I hope you know about 'Creepypasta'. But if you don't I'll give you a small explanation:

Creepypastas are small stories on the internet posted on different websites, most like a 'Copypasta'. The only difference is that the Creepypasta is (most of the time) scary. They can range from really good, perhaps even something from real life and all the way down to completely idiotic (see BUT WHO WAS PHONE?).
A lot of these stories have been copy/pasted on to different websites, but most of them might have originated from the paranormal board or /x/ on 4chan.

I found a wiki that has collected a lot of them and made a database, with genres listings, videos and pictures. I would recommend taking a look to get a peek inside the paranormal memes on the internet:

Btw, I'll make a new review soon and perhaps make some special themes that I'm planing.

Horror Preview

I'm back again, bringing you a small preview of a video game.

Horror freaks with a Steam-account rejoice!
Right now you can buy Amnesia: The Dark Descent 50% off (lasts until March 7th)

I can only recommend this game, as it draws you in completely. You have no weapons or superpowers, you're just a regular man against unknown monsters. I'll give a full review if I can get through it. In the mean time go download it and play a really well-crafted horror experience. Remember to turn off the lights, use your headphones and beware of the shadows.
