VGR: One of the developers remarked to me that he was unable to complete Amnesia: The Dark Descent, the game from Frictional games that took the horror-gaming world by storm in 2010 and 2011, due to the tension and fear being too much for him to handle. As an active experience, games have the ability to frighten us in ways that films cannot. When something scary happens in a horror movie, we can cover our eyes or wince and wait for it to be over, knowing the plot will move forward with or without our involvement. However, in a game, player participation is required and covering one’s eyes is simply not an option.
Footage from what appears to be a prototype build of Red Barrels' first-person psychological survival horror game, Outlast, has emerged.
This sounds interesting. Red Barrels is teaming up with Lionsgate and renown horror producer Roy Lee to develop a feature film anchored in the rich and horrifying universe of the Outlast series.
It has to be. I hope they learned with Borderlands that PG-13 is not the way if the source material is an M-Rated game.

Very safe list of horror games. I would argue that Amnesia Machine for Pig was not that great. Dark Descent was much a much better game.
Far better games have been released in this genre (Dead Space Remake, Alien Isolation, Alan Wake 2 etc).
