GP: "Horror in games has gone through some interesting changes over the years. Starting out as simple haunted house adventures (Haunted House and Sweet Home), horror games seemed mostly to stem from ideas formed in movies. As time progressed horror grew into its own massive genre thanks to the likes of Alone in the Dark and Resident Evil. Once it was known horror could be a very successful genre for games they were everywhere. Over the past few years horror has moved more toward the 'action' side of the spectrum.
Of course, there are still games like Amnesia: The Dark Descent which attempt to buck that trend. Even if you're not a horror fan you still probably know many of the titles: Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Dead Space, and others. In the spirit of Halloween, here's a list of some horror games which have rarely gotten a chance in the spotlight."
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
Condemned is the most underrated/under-appreciated scary game ever imo.
Sanitarium is amazing, one of the best adventure games ever. Anyone who hasn't played it should get it from http://www.gog.com/en/gamec... it's only $9.99 and so worth it.
A scary game I liked quite a bit was Clive Barkers Undying. At the time it had some of the best sound design around and if you were lucky enough to have a 5.1 PC set up it would scare the crap out of you as you would often be exploring some creepy area hearing these horrifying monster sounds in the distance and then out of no where you would be attacked.
Visually the game hasn't aged to well but the sound design is still great. I still load it up every now and again.
their missing games such as amnesia the dark descent and deadly premonition to name some.
i remember playing the first F.E.A.R i could not sleep for days. lol
