As a huge horror fan throughout all forms of media, from books to games to films etc Halloween has to be one of my favourite times of the year. Not because I go out to trick or treat or because I can dress up as Ashley J. Williams for a better reason than I look cool, but because horror comes to the forefront of everything. So what better way to celebrate Halloween this year than with a list of my very favourite horror games. The games that are about to follow I do not claim to be a collection of the greatest horror games ever created but a list that comprises my best & most memorable experiences playing horror themed games.
Capcom has announced and released the original Resident Evil, Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 on Steam.
Capcom recently released Resident Evil Requiem, and it's been so successful that it's seemingly dragging along every other Resi game with it.
That's certainly true in the UK; the latest physical retail charts have come in, and the top 10 includes five Resident Evil games across all platforms.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "All in all, it’s not hard to see why Alan Wake has received a bit of a cult following (there’s that famous foreshadowing again). It’s a title that blends themes and gameplay, while pushing the limits of storytelling by putting stories within stories and letting you read those stories before you get to that part in… the story. It has flaws, to be sure - the gameplay side can’t quite keep up with the rest of its ambitions - but overall it’s a great game that stands out among its peers and is undeniably… one for the books."
alan wake was not a horror game
Alan Wake can really mess with your mind. Play it in the dark with good sound. Really disturbing at times.
Alan Wake really wasn't horror. Unnerving yes, but not horror. A psychological thriller and a bit of an atmosphere piece fits a lot better. No slight against it, it does what it does very well and ended up being one of my favorite games of all time.
Then you have L4D . . . really?
It would be a real search to find many who would consider that game horror.
Looking at the list, all you really have there is Resident Evil 2, Aliens vs Predator 2 (the original was still much better), Condemned and then, arguably, Dead Space.
What a horrible list , most of the list are from modern games
Silent Hill (PS1) was IMO one of the best horror games
