10 Best Modern Horror Games
10 Best Modern Horror Games

March and April may not hold as many options as previous months, but there are still quite a few good picks available. Suits returns to USA; Whose Line Is It Anyway? proves what works, works (even on the CW); PBS finally premieres the BBC mini-series Mr. Selfridge starring Jeremy Piven; Orphan Black returns to BBC America; and Game of Thrones season 4 premieres… at some po

Fans were given an ephemeral look into Cyberpunk 2077 in 2013, treating them to a short trailer that certainly worked up appetites for this futuristic game, which would not be released for another seven years. Unfortunately, this ambitious project was left to the wayside, as the studio was also working on The Witcher 3 , which took priority. The development hell continued long after the release, as developers were put under a major crunch to reach the game's deadline, resulting in a game that was largely unfinished with bugs galore and even downright unplayable for some console gam

January starts off with the highly-anticipated premiere of Community season 5, and then the world of television jumps backs in to gear as all of your favorite shows begin making their return from the holiday hia

February starts off slow, as far as television premieres goes, thanks to the Winter Olympics; however the second week of month brings both the return of The Walking Dead season 4 on AMC and the premiere of House of Cards season 2 on Netf

After the franchise went with a more action-oriented approach for a few entries, it was clear that the Resident Evil series needed to get back to its roots. Capcom did exactly that with Resident Evil 7 , delivering an overwhelming survival-horror experience full of exploration, deadly traps, and horrific monsters for players to contend with. Especially brave players can even play through the entire game with PlayStation VR , transporting them directly into the hellish world of the Baker family plantation and all the terrors that come with

Half-Life was undeniably one of Valve's greatest successes , introducing players to the crowbar-wielding Gordon Freeman and Black Mesa, the research facility where he worked. A sequel seemed like it was inevitable to capitalize on the success of the first game, and thus began the troubled development of Half-Life

There’s some less-than-ideal quirks to the game I hope get ironed out before release, like the fact that the best strategy as a survivor with a killer on your tail is to run in circles around him to exploit the limited perspective. It’s a bit goofy as a survivor, but it mostly just feels clumsy and frustrating as the killer. As well, though the developer described how other maps will provide much different gameplay from the forest level they were showing off, it sounds like activating generators to power an escape door is the only objective survivors will ever be given. I’d really like to see some creativity there, because while the meat of the game is ultimately about the tension of being hunted and the procedurally generated levels will add some variety to every match, it’d be nice to have something else to do once in a while.

Dead by Daylight has built a dedicated fan base thanks to a constant stream of creative new killers, including famous ones like Jigsaw from the Saw franchise , as well as some original creations from the developers. Dead by Daylight succeeds in creating some genuine tension as players attempt to outsmart the killer, but with the killer controlled by a human player instead of AI, that's a lot easier said than d

When it comes to video games, the horror genre has had its ups and downs. There was a period of time where horror games were virtually non-existent, but thanks to popular games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill , they became an important part of the industry. The rise of online multiplayer and games like Call of Duty saw developers move away from horror games, but then the success of indie horror games led to a mainstream resurgence that we're still seeing to

Though this fantastic title eventually reached the hands of murder mystery and noir aficionados , it almost never did, as it faced numerous cancelations and delays across its seven-year development time. The game changed hands with publishers and platforms due to how long it was developed for, as the consoles it originally planned to release for became obsol

On top of that, some of Comic-Con's fan-favorite TV series have been upgraded from the hallowed Ballroom 20, and will now be gracing the 5,000-seat Hall H. So, this year you won’t be able to simply sit in one room all day to catch many of the major television events has to offer at Comic-

class=The third title in the single-player RPG is perhaps the longest-developed game of all time, leaving fans waiting for over a decade. Mother 3 takes place on Nowhere Island, an undetermined amount of time after Read the Full Guide events of the previous game, Mother 2 . Lucas, Claus, and their mother Hinawa are preparing to journey home before the evil Pigmask Army strikes, bombing Tazmil Village and eventually taking it o
