Well Halloween is finally upon us people! Now, the big Halloween nights out around Japan all went down last weekend, since Halloween itself falls on a Wednesday and people are working and whatnot. So! If you need some living room scares, I'm here to provide you with 3 games that may get the fear flowing.
In case anyone cares the game in the top picture is Fatal Frame (or Project Zero)
GAME NUMBER 1! THE BINDING OF ISAAC!
HOORAY! I finally get to talk about this thing again! You may be scratching your head at this first pick since The Binding of Isaac isn't all that scary really, at least not at face value. No, the Binding of Isaac is just disturbing, in both plot and imagery. Apart from your enemies being all horrible disfigurations from a babies nightmare, if you spend enough time in the basement then you'll realise just how grim Isaacs tale really is, and once all is revealed, it's really quite unsettling. So if you want a Halloween game that wont make you lose sleep at night, Isaac is the way to go!
GAME NUMBER 2! LONE SURVIVOR!
This little indie gem really impressed me when I fired it up for the first time. It's one of the only horror games that is actually trying to be scary rather than just startling. While you may not think a game with 2D pixel art could be all that scary, the atmosphere in this thing is oppressive as all hell. It's not very long, but the feelings of dread and panic are delivered in such huge amounts that staying in the world of Lone Survivor for extended periods is quite a strain on the senses.
GAME 3! HALF-LIFE 2!
What the fuck am I talking about? Half Life 2? scary? Well hear me out.
When I say Half Life 2, I don't mean Half Life 2 itself, I mean the absolutely staggering numbers of mods available for this game. Of that large number of mods, a good deal of them are scary mods, and good ones at that too! Nightmare House 2 and Grey are 2 really good ones just to get you started, but you can find so many scary fucking mods for this thing it'll make your head spin. So fire up google and get to it.
There you have it folks, a good way to burn a wednesday evening at home for halloween. Also, don't worry if you are a gamer on a budget, the above titles are cheap as chips so you won't be breaking the bank for any of these games.
I definitely enjoying every little bit of it. It is a great website and nice share. I want to thank you. Good job! You guys do a great blog, and have some great contents. Keep up the good work.
