I don’t care much for most horror movies. The majority of them rely too much on gore, shock value, and the sudden appearances of the monster/killer/psycho. But when the horror is psychological-slowly built up from isolation, strange and abandoned surroundings, and enveloping darkness then I’m the first in line for the experience.

Sorry Folks. Your favorite weekly Coming Soon! article is on break this week, but don’t worry. I’ve got something cooked up for you this Wednesday. It’s rather epic. You’ll see.
Gamers everywhere has one primary complaint about DLC in general. Namely, they feel that DLC is basically just content that should’ve been included in the retail disk in the first place. Some even go so far to say that DLC are content that is purposefully cut from the retail disk just so they can charge for it down the line. Although there is some precedent for the latter based off of speculation, none has ever really been confirmed. Until now.
Edge recently sat down with The Legend of Zelda series director Eiji Aonuma for an in depth interview, where he reminisces about working on one of gaming’s most beloved franchises. He also talked about the series’ future as well.
It looks like you’ll have to wait a little longer
It looks like the industry wasn’t done when it started delaying titles out of holiday season several months ago. Now Capcom is pushing several titles out of the company’s fiscal fourth quarter, which ends on March 31, 2010.
Us gamers already knew this way before everyone else did, but now it seems the rest of us are finally catching up. Video games are useful for something. The latest example comes from NASA who has taken it upon themselves to create their very own MMO called Astronaut: Mars, Moon, and Beyond.
It’s Monday folks which means more Nintendo downloadable releases. With today’s set of releases, Nintendo hit’s their 500th downloadable title. So what do we have up for grabs? On the Virtual Console, we have the original Super Smash Bros. for 1,000 Wii Points ($10). Also up for grabs is the original arcade version of Ninja Gaiden for 600 Wii Points ($6). Good luck getting through that one. You’ll need it.
Funny how the weeks alternate from really dead to having some kind of a recognizable release. This week’s got Guitar Hero and a Final Fantasy game coming out! Unfortunately, neither of which deserves all that much attention. Nevertheless, they’re the only two big titles coming out this week, and I’m going to do my job and tell you about them! And you’re gonna listen!
The very first Silent Hill was the most frightening video game I’ve ever played, and it stands as one of the scariest forms of entertainment that I’ve ever experienced. It didn’t shock you with jump-out-of-your-seat moments; instead it pulled you into its fog choked streets into a twisted, yet artful, psychological nightmare. When Konami announced this “reimagining” of the original Silent Hill, I was excited and eager to once again enter into its bone chilling embrace.
