Horror-themed video games give you a glimpse into the darker parts of the gaming sphere.
'Terrordrome: Reign of the Legends' Summons Our Favorite Monsters and More
It all started with a simple concept: What if the horror legends that haunt our nightmares faced off in an arena, going machete-to-chainsaw with one another in a bloody battle for supremacy? The team at Huracan Studios brought the idea to life, arguably better than New Line Cinema did with 2003’s Freddy vs. Jason, with a roster of 13 horror greats in Terrordrome: Rise of the Boogeymen.

'Bendy and The Ink Machine'
Bendy and the Ink Machine is one of the coolest games that has come out this year. If you follow the YouTube gaming community like I do you must have seen this game around. It is beloved by the YouTube community for its amazing art style and incredible gameplay. This is a horror game and an interesting one at that. It has a very innocent feel at first, but the more you play, the more sinister the game becomes. In this, I will tell you about all the chapters that have happened in each. I will also tell you about the characters, as well as my theories for chapter 4.

'Alien: Isolation' Review
I’ve always had to live with the lasting misfortune of not being among the ill-fated many who first saw Alien on a fateful evening in 1979; I dream about being among the unwitting masses who saw that movie in all its fresh, unsaturated glory. But amidst all that regret, the good folks at Sega swooped in with a very suitable emulation—Alien: Isolation is, in no uncertain terms, the best hope millennials like myself have of experiencing the original onslaught of space terror we were so sadly denied. Built from the ground up as an interactive Ridley Scott simulator, Alien: Isolation is a truly uncanny testament to the ambience and tone of the franchise’s thematic origins. Every element from story to setting to lore to music to lighting to props is there, in exactly the right place contributing beautifully to a genuinely authentic Alien experience.

'Phantom Halls': Indie Horror Gets the Comedy Treatment
The dim beam of your flashlight is barely enough to illuminate your way through the darkened mansion. Floorboards creak and the walls whisper a haunting song as you and your ill-equipped squad search for an escape from the living nightmare. As with the horror movies we've grown so used to watching, everything starts off quiet—that is until you cross paths with that first deadly ghoul that sets the tone for your haunted adventure.

How I Found the Jigsaw Killer in 'Fallout: New Vegas'
So the other day I and someone else was watching some YouTube videos about Fallout: New Vegas when some of its Downloadable Content (DLC) videos were made some time ago, and decided to look at the videos. The channel name is Oxhorn and he does mostly narrative videos about the lore of video games, while occasionally having a drink and smoking a cigar. And in this particular DLC, it was the Dead Money DLC talking about a casino known as the Sierra Madre. It was through here I realized that someone resembled John “Jigsaw” Kramer, the antagonist of the SAW franchise.

Shockwork Games Focuses on Strategy for Horror Title, 'Alder's Blood'
Nature can be a beautiful thing, but it can also be molded into whatever we want it to be, even if that means twisting it into disturbing imagery. The towering emerald canopies of a forest can be both magnificent and nightmarish. Do the shadows they cast hide terrors or cause unease to those they fall on? Is there a danger hidden within them, something rooted in the rotten core of Mother Nature? We can explore our surrounding environs in a myriad of ways, but it’s through horror that the team behind Alder’s Blood aimed to view the natural world.

'DDLC' and 'Yume Nikki': Can Video Games Be Art?
CW: This article refers to games with disturbing themes. I have always liked video games. Despite this, occasionally I find myself in arguments where this isn't enough to escape other people's derision and accusations of being out of touch. Apparently it's not sufficient to enjoy games—for some reason, you have to believe that they're art, too.

Let’s Talk About 'Corpse Party'
On the PlayStation Store, on my PSP, a game that popped out at me had the most unusual name of Corpse Party. I had guessed that it would be a horror title. It was also a year before I would download this game... not out of fear, but more like I couldn’t afford the game at the time. But when I finally did download and play it, I lost a little bit of sleep.
