After 10 years of thinking that Creative Assembly’s brilliant survival-horror, Alien: Isolation, was doomed to forever be a one-off, fans got an awesome surprise earlier this week: an official announcement from the developers themselves that a sequel is in the works.

Scariest Enemies: Humanoid Monstrosities
Video games are filled to the brim with weird and creepy monsters, but if I had to narrow it down, humanoid creatures are probably my least favorite foe. It could be the inherent creepiness of the uncanny valley, or it could just be that I don’t like facing off against something that either used to…
Most Frightening Type of Scare: Being Chased and “Weeping Angel” Style Foes
Let’s face it, I get scared easily. That’s why I don’t play that many horror games, and I only watch the tamest of scary movies. In fact, one of the only scares that doesn’t really affect me anymore are jumpscares because FNAF has pretty much desensitized me to it. (Except for jumpscares I’m really not…
Scariest Horror Subgenre: Lights, Camera…NO Action, Please!
Strictly speaking, I am the world’s worst authority when it comes to horror games. They tend to fall so far outside my comfort zone that, were it not for the internet, and magazines before it, I’d hardly know they exist. Well, all except for one game: Doom.

Surprise Sequels: Tormented Souls II
Whenever one of the major gaming events rolls around (E3, Gamescom, TGS, etc.) I’m always expecting to see sequels and spin-offs to major series like Fallout, Assassin’s Creed, or something like Halo. You know, large IPs that publishers are certain will make money. It’s always nice to see the handful of new IP that get…
The Chant gets a Release Date
The Chant, a new horror game from developer Brass Token, got a release date just a few days ago. It’ll be ready to spook and scare as of November 4th. I gotta say, for a game from a relatively unknown indie developer, this is actually looking pretty interesting?
Uncanny Accounts – No Eyes in the Darkness
Hollow Knight isn’t exactly a horror game, but it has its share of creepy encounters and lore nonetheless. While there are others in the game that should probably rank higher, the one that’s stuck with is the encounter with No Eyes. She’s the shade of a warrior bug found in the Stone Sanctuary within Greenpath….
Nope, nope, and more nope in Dreadhalls
Guys, I don’t know what I was thinking when I decided to start playing Dreadhalls. I really don’t. But I can think of no better way to round out our #Spooktober celebration than with my story about this unique and scary VR game, which is at once unforgettable, and for me, unrepeatable. Way back in…
