I feel comfortable talking about this now, because it's actually going to happen. This franchise is so near and dear to my heart that I din't want to get my hopes up until it really started to come together. A FRIDAY THE 13TH game is being developed, and it has the potential to be amazing. Right now, there is a Kickstarter project in it's final week, and the funding goal of $700k is almost 90% funded. I would be shocked if it did not reach its goal now. (although you can help it by getting on board here if you're interested). Check out the intro vid[...]

0 My October Fear Fest series of let's plays continues this week with the third installment of SOMA. For those that missed the first couple episodes, you can watch them here. If you haven't heard of SOMA, it's a survival horror game where the main character finds himself in an underwater research facility with no idea how he got there or how to get home. The game brings to mind equal parts BIOSHOCK and DEAD SPACE for me. I'm playing through SOMA for #OctFearFest, and I’ll be posting the episodes both here are over at my gaming site, Co-Op Critics throu[...]
My October Fear Fest series of let's plays continues this week with the second installment of UNTIL DAWN. For those that missed the first couple episodes, you can watch them here. If you haven't heard of UNTIL DAWN, it's essentially a game where you as the player are directing your own slasher film. Every choice that you make has a ripple effect on the story, and who lives and dies will do so because of your decisions (or lack thereof). For #OctFearFest, I'm doing a let’s play series with UNTIL DAWN, and I’ll be posting the episodes both here are over[...]

October is the month of horror, and I'm playing two excellent--but very different--horror games this month. Last week I posted the first episode of my UNTIL DAWN let's play, which is basically a slasher movie you get to play through. This week is the first episode of my playthrough of SOMA, a very atmospheric horror game that brings to mind equal parts BIOSHOCK and DEAD SPACE for me. For #OctFearFest, I’ll be playing through all of SOMA, and I’ll be posting the videos both here are over at my gaming site, Co-Op Critics throughout the month. You’ll a[...]
In addition to being a huge horror fan, I'm a lifelong gamer. So, anytime those two interests can overlap, it makes me very, very happy. And it just so happens that a game arrived recently that not only combines my love of horror and games, but does so with my favorite kind of horror movie--the slasher film. UNTIL DAWN is a game where you as the player are essentially directing your own slasher film. Every choice that you make has a ripple effect on the story, and who lives and dies will do so because of your decisions (or lack thereof). For #OctFearFest, I'll[...]
Late last year a kerfuffle broke out on twitter about video games, one of the many, many, many targets of the ire was the critically acclaimed game Gone Home. People said it was too short, it wasn't really a video game, it cost too much, it was marketed as a horror game when it wasn't one--- Whoa, whoa, back that up, sparky. Not a horror game? Okay, if you haven't played Gone Home, stop reading this now, buy the game, and play it. You'll thank me. There's a lot to love here, from the riot grrrrl soundtrack, to the voice acting, and the '90s references. Thi[...]
