The ending was satisfying, I had a good rush in my last couple of play sessions, and I could tell they really tried something new. But on the other hand, they weren't able to follow through on the tension of the horror aspect of the game and keep your heart pumping, which was a pretty big failure, in my mind. I have to give credit to the guys at Deep Silver for trying something new, especially in a genre like horror, which needs new blood in it.
They've got their heads in the right place, and the start of something that could be really good, but they've still got a long way to go in the ways of storytelling, pacing and visuals before this gets up into the pantheon of must-play horror 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 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.
