Halloween is approaching. Everyone is getting out their costumes, setting up the
spooky decorations and watching classic horror movies. It’s also the time some gamers take to play
their favorite scary games, as well as October-themed specials going on for
games like Killing Floor and Team Fortress 2.
But for a lot of us, the scares are what we’re looking
for. Now’s the time to play the classics
like Eternal Darkness, Resident Evil, Silent Hill 2, System Shock 2 or Amnesia.
This year I have a recommendation on another horror
game. I’ve already gone over how Clock Tower is the scariest game ever made, but this
year I’m taking a moment to appreciate the aspects of a classic horror game
that don’t contribute to the horror.
