Survival Horror games have really taken a turn from where they started. Graphics and detail have improved dramatically, but they don't really give you a legitimate fright. I explore games that have done it well and others that have done it not so well. We can get better experiences, we just need to make sure the developers know what we want.
Video games are filled with all sorts of characters. Some are heroes, some are villains. And some are just creepy and wrong. Here are the top ten video game deviants of all time!
"Why Are Survival Horror Games Devolving?
Short answer: action is mainstream. Survival horror is, unfortunately, a niche genre. While it has dedicated fans, action is naturally going to be the best seller. Take the Resident Evil series as the best example in devolution: the first three games were what defined the survival horror genre, yet Resi 4 was almost entirely action; ditching zombies for angry, infected Spaniards and putting more focus on run-and-gun.

"Since the God of War collection was remastered on PS3 I’ve been thinking, there’s many more classics that were released on the PS2 that I would love to be released on the PS3 in high definition and include some trophies in there, that’s a dream come true.

Game Podunk looks back at one of the most terrifying games to scare gamers. Silent Hill 2 will likely never be matched by a video game again. The timing of its release was perfect and the story and game play created puzzles that were not so difficult that they required hours of scratching your head but were challenging enough to require a bit of thinking.
This week in a retrospective review, Zero Punctuation goes around as Jaaaaaaames Sunderland, armed with only a plank with a nail through it in Silent Hill 2.
"Art in its many varied forms has, and always will be, a staple of every human culture that has ever walked the Earth. Over time, nearly everyone has debated what constitutes art thats worthy of display, of reflection; why a single image may evoke a great deal of emotions in one person while it leaves another cold and uninterested. This works rather well for art contained within the many varied galleries scattered across the globe, but that kind of ambiguity will rarely get you honorable ment..."
