Default Prime writer Chris Stewart looks at some of the horror games from recent years and how they might compare to Resident Evil Revelations, which looks rather good in his eyes.

Horror is a genre I never really explored in video games, but with the recent announcement of Resident Evil 6, I decided it would be rude not to talk about it. Most of my experience up until recent years was the terror of corrupted data, the fear I might somehow die before I reached the next save point and the concern that maybe, just maybe, I’d spent money on the wrong game and would have to spend the next few weeks exploring a terrible glitch-ridden world that bored me to tears. However, I invested in Dead Space on release day a few years back and did not regret it one bit. Since then I have played quite a few games claiming to be ‘horror’ or ‘survival horror’ and have had mixed experiences. Then I played the Resident Evil Revelations demo on my 3DS this week and it put into perspective how poor some attempts were.
