Horror-themed video games give you a glimpse into the darker parts of the gaming sphere.
It's All Child's Play: Universal Teases 'Chucky' Video Game Alongside The Next Film
The world of video games is creepy enough as we are chased by the nurses of Silent Hill, T-virus zombies of Resident Evil, and the steampunk Big Daddies from Bioshock. However, is a true horror icon about to get a video game too?

5 Horror Game Clichés I Wish Game Developers Would Stop Using
SPOILER WARNINGS: Silent Hill: Downpour, Silent Hill 2, Outlast 2, Resident Evil 6, The Evil Within, The Evil Within 2 A trope is defined by good ole TVTropes.org as "more about conveying a concept to the audience without needing to spell out all the details." However, the very concept of a trope couldn't have been named without cliché. Clichéd concepts within media, such as video games, have been happening since their inception. Heck, Nintendo makes their billions with one of the most famous cliché characters of all time, but Mario is very much an icon of the culture of gaming.

Horror Games: From Niche to Nonsense
Maybe I've become too desensitized over the years to enjoy modern "horror" games. Lately, I've just felt that such games have either fit into two categories: "cliche horror trope bingo" and/or "trying way too hard." I'd say a perfect example of the first of those categories is the recently released The Evil Within 2. I honestly don't know what is impressing the gaming news giants to give it a high score... though I think IGN would be impressed with a game about paint drying.

'Silent Hill 4': The Forgotten Horror
Hello, and welcome back to Second Chances where I give the maligned and forgotten another shot. As I mentioned before, I consider the original Silent Hill to be one of the greatest horror games of all time. Even though it's nearly twenty years old, its story still knows how to chill you to the bone, its perfect atmosphere keeps you from getting relaxed, and the combat and puzzle solving are both easier to grasp and more involved than in other horror games of the time. Though the PS1 visuals can be a bit hard to look at these days, it is still the closest I've found to the perfect horror game.

'Bendy and the Ink Machine' Theory: What Happened to Sammy?
Warning: Contains spoilers for Chapter 3. Don't read until you are all caught up! Since its release back in February 2017, Bendy and the Ink Machine has become an indie hit online. Gamers have loved delving into its mysteries and piecing together the many clues strewn about Joey Drew Studios. One of the many tragic stories told in the game is that of Sammy Lawrence, the musical composer for the studio. Sammy is an intriguing figure, as his attitudes seem to vary drastically between his two available audio logs. He goes from being wary of Joey Drew's bizarre machinations, to throwing himself whole-heartedly into the worship of the Ink Demon. The question is, what could have influenced him in such a way? What, exactly, is happening to Sammy?

Petscop Analysis
I heard about Petscop from a Game Theory video. The subtitle for the video was, "The Scariest Game You'll Never Play." And I thought instantly, that's bullshit, click-bait. I've deleted tons of crappy emails or scrolled while rolling my eyes past tons of comments of what they call "creepy pasta," that is, cut-and-pasted, internet-circulated horror stories, often having to do with urban legends about haunted video games.

'Dead By Daylight'
On the 14th of June 2016 Behaviour released a new game called Dead by Daylight. This game was one of the first of its kind. The game is an asymmetrical multi player horror game in which one killer tries to kill four survivors in order to feed the god (or goddess) of the realm known as the Entity.

Until Dawn Review
So today I am going to be reviewing the video game Until Dawn by Supermassive Games. This game is a multiple choice horror game that sets itself apart by basing its story off cliché horror elements. The game focuses on eight teenagers who decide to return to their friend’s dad’s mountain resort, one year on from the disappearance of two of their friends. These eight characters are all playable in the game and include Sam, Josh, Mike, Emily, Ashley, Chris, Matt, and Jessica.

Scariest Video Game Enemies
Video games created with storylines, unfortunately, come to an end point once completing the game, but what is it that makes these games so difficult and entertaining? Beating the evil enemies, or "bosses" if you will create disruption in your path to beating the game. As games go on, your enemies get larger, stronger, and scarier. Whether they are giant monsters, disease-ridden creatures, or some disgusting mutant that was once a person just like us, you do not want to cross their paths. Well too bad because these games are designed for you to come across these enemies at any given time. Let's take a look at the scariest video game enemies.

The Ultimate FNAF Theory
Yes, another Five Nights at Freddy's theory. I know, it's been done to death, but bear with me, because there are some things in my theory that I have not heard addressed by the plethora of other FNAF theorists out there. I will give you fair warning, though, this article is only for those who have at least a working knowledge of the series and some of the basic lore within it. If you are not all familiar with the series, you probably won't get much out of it, as I will be making references to specific phone calls in the games, cut-scenes, and already-established theories. Throughout the article, I will abbreviate Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location simply as Sister Location, Five Nights at Freddy's 1 as FNAF 1, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 as FNAF 2, etc. So, without further delay, my ultimate FNAF theory!

7 Days to Live
Firstly, if you've never played 7 Days to Die, I highly suggest you get the fuck on that. It is a survival, crafting, zombie game that is available on Steam, in which you must gather resources and supplies to build a base to survive the zombie horde that comes every seventh day. However, this guide here is actually to help newcomers to the game who might be having the issue of dying every seventh day. Stick with me and I'll cover some pro tips on how to beat night seven.
