IGN: Development studio Deep Silver recently brought an updated build of Cursed Mountain by the IGN offices so that we could have a look at the progress made. Although we were unable to play the title, now set for a September 2009 release, we did come by a better idea of what to expect from the end product by way of the expanded three-level demo. Cursed Mountain is still rough around the edges, but there's good promise. Not only is the unique story interesting -- a veteran hiker travels to the haunted Himalayas after his inexperienced younger brother goes missing there -- but the title downplays violence and gore for psychological scares.
Today, we bring you a brief interview with Deep Silver Vienna developer Martin Flipp and marketing manager Chadd McNeill, as well as a first look at genuine gameplay via direct-feed footage.

There’s a polar vortex sweeping across the country, The Day After Tomorrow style, and unless you’re brave enough to risk instantly freezing as soon as you step outside — like those poor helicopter pilots, they will be missed — the only escape is through video games. Or Dennis Quaid. Since we’re in for a deep freeze, with most of the country already enduring ridiculously low temperatures, I thought I’d come up with a list of horror games we can all enjoy.
"the only escape is through video games. Or Dennis Quaid" lol
I haven't played Dead Space 3, I thought about renting it, but I didn't like DS2 very much, absolutely LOVED DS1, i've heard many times DS3 is even worser sequel
Starting a horror games list by mentioning Dead Space 3.. it's enough to make horror fans weep.
Tom Towers and Phil Fog return to their Big Show format, this time devoting an entire show to survival horror!
Rob Lowzak from Power Level Marketing drops by to drop knowledge about the history of horror. Rob is an expert on the genre and a regular speaker at Spooky Empire's Ultimate Horror Weekend, formerly known as Screamfest.
Gaming's unique take on horror bears mentioning, and so too does the political history of Rule of Rose.
All of the above comes together with Game Under's regular impressions, but this time with a horror twist: Left 4 Dead 2, Deadly Premonition: Director's Cut, Cursed Mountain and Alan Wake.
The scariest night of the year is now only two days away, a horrifying evening when strange children knock at the door and refuse to leave without a toll of sweets and candy. It's also the time of year when we willingly scare ourselves witless by playing frightening video games.
To finish off a week-long series of fond Wii remembrances, Nintendo Life wants to highlight some titles from the system's back-catalogue that are perfect for this time of year. It suggests turning out the lights, basking in the tiny blue glow of the Wii power switch and trying these titles this Halloween.
