Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "I don’t know what happened to me but I used to LOVE horror games. I would stay up till past-midnight trudging through some of the most horrific sights in gaming. Games like Resident Evil (all of them from 4 down), Dead Space and Silent Hill 2 hold some my favorite memories and I considered myself immune to the effects of scary video games. Until I played Outlast. I could never quite put my finger on why that game horrified me so much but I both loved and dreaded picking up the controller for another play session. Now Outlast II is here and for the first time ever I had to play a video game with someone in the house and only during daylight hours. Yes this game is that scary."
This week the Link Cable Gaming crew gets all dressed up in their finest Halloween garb to discuss their favorite horror and even just spooky games in a special Halloween episode!
In a new podcast with "Wassup Conversations" David Chateauneuf, game designer of Outlast and co-founder of Red Barrels talks about techniques of making a horror game, the origin of Outlast and the future of horror before announcing their new game, teased last week.
And he has so many cool ideas about other horrors that he mentions in this interview.
I loves outlast. The first game was better with pacing. There were calm times before some chased you. The second game was terrifying because it felt like it you were continuingly getting chased but I don't think it made for a better game.
Outlast is the first and only game horror I decided not to finish due to it's intensity. It was a great game, but man I got so stressed out playing it. I never had the stones to try Outlast 2.
It's the most wonderful time of the year, Halloween, and what better way to celebrate than with a few of the spookiest gaming titles around! Here is a list of the some great titles you can play today.
